View Target Diagnostics Lecture video here (coming soon) and download the attached handout to help guide you when diagnosing your targets. Learning how to self-diagnose what is occurring while you are shooting and understanding how to make those corrections is essential in purposeful training and continued growth as both a shooter and a coach.
