National Coach Trainer, indicates that this nutritional guidance is well suited for training programs
and any type of competitive or recreational shooting.

From fellow member Gregg Simmon from the Mobridge, SD area:
"A year ago I had a need to calculate Minute of Angle measurements when creating various different sized targets for our Black Powder Cartridge Long Range “Gong” matches that we hope to sponsor this summer. As I was working on this project I decided that it would be one heck of a lot easier if I wouldn’t have to be punching in a bunch of numbers on a calculator so I decided to create the attached spreadsheet. It works beautifully for me."
This is a handy tool, and we thought we'd put it on the website. To download the spreadsheet for your home computer, please CLICK HERE. Gregg notes,
"It would require the end user to have Microsoft’s Excel on their computers. It does NOT work with the version of Excel that is bundled with Microsoft’s Works package."
