Training Materials

Whilst there are numerous places on the internet to get information about techniques for shooting, some of the information out there is a bit vague at times. We have therefore created a section on training in order to provide documents and information that would be useful for shooters of all abilities. If you have any material that you would like to contribute or include here, then please contact the web-master of this site here. It is broken down into categories and will be updated whenever possible. The majority of information here has come from various sources on the internet, but some of it we have compiled into an easy to read resource.

Recommended Reading Materials

Whilst the documents and resources below are all free, there are some books that would be beneficial to read in addition to those, so here is a list of those that we think would be good reading:
