Sorry guys we're not having our regularly scheduled Tuesday match this week. Both our match directors are out of pocket, I would say take this time and get your dry fire routines down. I use the site below, it's a great way to keep up with your practice and setup some metrics. I like to keep pushing the par time down until I just can't make the time, then move it back to regular par and observe how slow it now seems.   Enjoy, see you all on the Oct. 10th!   Dry Fire Practice http://dryfirepractice.com/   Jim
