(I am hoping this isn't a repeat of my Paul Howe thread, repeating last month's news.)

300% better shooting in 21 days? How can I lose?

I want 301% better in 21 days, so this is a failure.

I bought them.

Not really impressed, to be honest. The "pack" comes in several groups (green for "basic" etc.), and each card gives you a suggested drill or practice to try.

As a regimented program with a specific par time (e.g. Practice reloads on the clock with a par of 1.5s or whatever) they are pretty poor. As a means to vary your routine and think of something else to do, sure, they have some ideas. But pretty much everything in there is on the 'net somewhere.

For me, I'd probably spend the money on a box of ammo.

This must be going around, as it came up recently in Claude Werner's Dry Fire FB page. I'm going to bring my set to Memphis next week at TacCon for him to look at.

I agree with Rich's assessment. The cards are pretty "meh", but if it gets someone to do a practice routine...

The marketing, however, is hokey. Off-puttingly hokey. Front Site/PDN-level hokey.

You can get Stoeger's dryfire book on kindle for about the same price. If you are just bored with dryfire and looking for ideas it's pretty good. He lists pars for most drills that are beginner, intermediate and advanced.

I have this-

http://www.amazon.com/Champion-Shooting-Guaranteed-Results-Minutes-ebook/dp/B00AVKC5QG/ref=pd_sim_351_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=51sct%2BGeWQL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_UX300_PJku-sticker-v3%2CTopRight%2C0%2C-44_AC_UL160_SR124%2C160_&refRID=0G878V7TSEQDSEBBJFYP

Not sure how they differ. It is nice to have something to look at and just do what he says instead of thinking something up sometimes. It also helps me dryfire longer if I decide to get through 2-3 drills vs just doing whatever on my own.

The pars are a big value I think, to know where you should/could be is pretty valuable info and not easy to find. He uses pars in ways I hadn't before and that alone was probably worth $10.
