Going to do a few posts on at home training including what you need, how to do it safely and cover some drills. From basic to some more advanced stuff. Really the importance is to focus on perfecting the basics and make it become second nature. It's important to start slowly, fix any mistakes, and build proper muscle memory. Avoid getting sloppy or lazy and developing training scars.
Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
I like to spend about 20 minutes a few days a week. 5 minutes for setup and clean up, and 15 minutes for practice. That's all that's really needed. Make sure you have a goal in mind on what you want to focus on. This will prevent you from getting sloppy and getting training scars, and will help you stay interested by allowing you to constantly improve.
SAFETY:
Setup a safe area where you will not be interrupted. Place your targets in the safest position in case of an accidental misfire.
Immediately check and make your gun clear. Do the same with the magazines you will be practicing with (recommend 2 empty magazines).
Retrieve all of the items you might need for this training. You don't want to have to go back into the safe or storage where your live guns and ammo are once you start practicing.
Store and lock up all live ammunition away from where you will be doing the training for the entire duration of the training. If you can't lock it up, it should be in a separate room where you will not go until your training session is totally finished and you are putting everything away.
Every time you pick up the gun, check that it is clear. Even though you know its clear, this creates the mindset to always check the status of a gun when you pick it up.
When you are done training, you are done. Don't go back and do one more thing after you start putting things away. This is when accidents happen.

Looks like a pretty good deal for a decent steel target with stand. Can always replace the target once you shoot it up. 3/8 inch. Regular price $80, on sale for $49.99 and free Prime shipping. Shipped and sold by Amazon so if it is crappy quality I am fairly sure they will stand behind it.

Just wanted to say thank you and welcome (again) to Glenn of Pew Pew Plates.
Many of you should already know Glenn, as in GlennP.... but he decided for some silly reason to provide the gun community with awesome Steel and Steel accessories, and thus changed his name to @Pew Pew Plates.
His website where you can check out the products is www.pewpewplates.com and can be found on FB, Instagram and others.

Hi Guys,
Another question regarding Mosin ammo.
I had a small run in with my home range about the ammo that I wanted to feed my Mosin this evening. When I acquired the rifle, I got about ~650 of surplus ammo. These rounds have FMJs, however my range seems to think they are steel core because they are magnetic. I have no way of knowing for sure, so I have come to the ammo gurus to find out. How can I tell? And better question, if they are NOT steel core, how can I convince my range? I have attached an image of the ammo for reference.
On a similar question, when buying Mosin ammo online, how can I know for sure that these rounds have a lead core?

We are happy to announce that our Steel Scoring iPad app is now available for download from the App Store. It can be used for Steel Challenge events or for less strict Steel events where you have your own divisions, stages, runs and more. It can also score Knockdown Steel events!
It is very flexible and easy to use. Best of all it’s free, thanks to our sponsors! It is also the first app to work directly with the Double-Alpha Shotmaxx Timer (iPad 2 or newer required), so times can be transmitted directly into the app.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/steel-scoring/id733091767?ls=1&mt=8
We will be developing a website for registration and squadding over the next several months, so stay tuned for that!
We’d like to hear your feedback? Thanks.
Cheers,
Adam.
P.S. We just learned that the “latest” Dropbox API we are using is not working properly for first generation iPads (iOS 5) and is not communicating with their servers for Backup, Restore & Sync. We have reverted to an earlier version of the API and resubmitted today. You can still use it to check it out on your first gen iPads, but the Dropbox functionality will not work properly.

Someone's been doing their homework! The dashboard has saved many people a lot of work in trying to get data that proves that more guns does equal less crime. Data on N.J. Permit to Carry Applications Shows Excessive Waits – Bearing Arms Ironically, Mrs. 45Doll and I just re-upped our PA LTCFS and it took all of three days online. And cost $26.13 each.

That's about $2 a gallon more than NJ. What's Newsome's plan to recoup those taxes if everyone goes electric?

Pretty good chance we'll be out of here by mid-summer! It's so close I can taste the freedom.
