Confinement Pistol Training Plan (Home Again!)
With the new confinement measures going on, coach Daniel Goberville has prepared a training programme to train 100% at home. It is a continuation of the previous personalized and group trainings and dives a bit deeper into solving my latest issues with trigger decision.
Trigger Decision Group Training (Technical, Mental, Physical)
