    I can see that I have some reading to do. All the topics here interest me, and I have a need for every one of them.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for posting/reposting this content.

    JHC mentioned this forum to me this morning at RBGC. I joined sometime ago, but frankly it fell off my radar until today. JHC mentioned the forum as a great resource on ways to become a better shooter. Again, thanks for bringing this content forward.

    Error in links

    I was hoping to view the links to the training in the initial posts. However, the links no longer work. Can anyone direct me to where the correct links may be?

    Thanks again to ToddG for sharing so much great shooting knowledge with anyone with an internet connection!

    These are organized according to ToddG's post on the order in which we should organize our training.
    http://pistol-training.com/archives/73

    That order is:
    1. Safety
    2. Gun Handling
    3. Marksmanship
    4. Speed
    5. Application


    I hope that after practicing these drills, a new shooter would be good enough to benefit from the current "Drill of the Week" - ie, they can be working on "Speed" and be ready to get started on "Application."

    I used the internet archive to get the names of the articles from @ford.304's original post, then found the current links to those articles.
    Everything below should work.
