Pistol Training for Self Defense-Phase 3
In my last post I discussed pistol training for self-defense-Phase 2. In this, the last of a three-part series let’s move up the scale of training to Phase-3. Understand, this is a baseline formula for teaching progressive skills to students who are serious about dedicated pistol training. It may not be everyone’s approach, but it has […]
