You must not get around to other, less technically oriented gun forums. (Not meant as an insult, just a statement.) Every damn day there are dozens of posts like this one, from a guy who posts on several forums:
"Col Applegate had a simple formula.
80% of your practice should be with close range ( 0-12 feet) point shooting.
The other 20% can be anything else that you want to do.
While it is true that there is no shortage of people telling us how to train ( especially those who charge money for their teaching services) it is up to each of us to decide just whom we are to believe and emulate."
