Competition Handgun Training Drills contains the drills (and only the drills) found in the program in my book "Your Competition Handgun Training Program". These drills are designed to teach the shooter the critical skills necessary to excell in practical shooting. It is meant to be used as a range guide for those that do not want to print the drills, or by shooters that want to use the drills to design their own program.

Of what good are the freedoms spelled out in the Bill of Rights if the people lack the power to enforce them? As Thomas Hobbes Noted in 1651, in his book, Leviathan,Covenants without the Sword are but Words, and of no strength to secure a man at all.The attempts by liberal forces in this country in the last few decades to deprive the American people of their private firearms, and thus to deny them their constitutionally guaranteed right to own and carry private means of self-defense is an old and infamous pattern of conduct, dating back centuriesa common practice of tyrants.If the people do not resist this effort we are in dire danger of losing not only our other freedoms, which are enumerated in the Bill of Rights, but also the blessings of liberty, which the Preamble proclaimed was one of the main goals of the government established by that document.This book is intended to serve as an alarm, both to the well meaning but misled who are unwittingly being used by sinister forces who would destroy our freedoms, but also for those who are oblivious to the battle for the palladium of our freedoms, the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

Night Sights

Night Sights Review



Robert "Bobber" Mulligan walked into a convenience store looking for doughnuts and forgot to duck when the shooting started. Now his nerves are frayed by post-traumatic stress and he has a recurring vision of St. Peter shunning him at Heaven's pearly gate. Moving to Eugene, Oregon, all he wants is to live a quiet life in a quiet neighborhood, but his simple plan is shattered by his neighbor's constant sniping and the gunshot staccato of her barking dog. Returning home after a six-day absence, he finds the dog has disappeared and everyone, including his best friend, Jimmy Dean, believes he's responsible. When Animal Control stops by with a few questions, Jimmy Dean realizes Bobber wasn't on a fishing trip like he'd said. When a detective stops by with a few questions, it's Bobber who realizes that one small lie can have big consequences and that there is more going on in the neighborhood than the disappearance of a barking dog. As crime escalates, the neighborhood seems under attack. The neighbors know that police response times are too slow to catch the criminals, but are at a loss how to prevent more trouble. Only Bobber, who was caught in the crossfire between good guys and bad guys during the robbery, understands that a person must be prepared to defend himself. When his tip causes the arrest of a kidnapper's prostitute-girlfriend, the kidnapper and his brother target Bobber's girlfriend as a replacement and Bobber realizes he not only has to fight for his quiet life, he might have to kill for it.

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Merry-Go-Rounds, Swings, Shooting Galleries, Fairground Amusements, Traveling Circuses, Traveling Menageries, and Traveling Theatres in New Zealand

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Merry-Go-Rounds, Swings, Shooting Galleries, Fairground Amusements, Traveling Circuses, Traveling Menageries, and Traveling Theatres in New Zealand Review



On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres in New Zealand face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres to New Zealand? How important is New Zealand compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres vary from one country of origin to another in New Zealand? On the supply side, New Zealand also exports merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres. Which countries receive the most exports from New Zealand? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres in New Zealand. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres for those countries serving New Zealand via exports, or supplying from New Zealand via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where New Zealand fits into the world market for imported and exported merry-go-rounds, swings, shooting galleries, fairground amusements, traveling circuses, traveling menageries, and traveling theatres. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for New Zealand in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that New Zealand is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize New Zealand compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

Hunted in the Heartland: A Memoir of Murder

Hunted in the Heartland: A Memoir of Murder Review



Synopsis:
On May 12, 1978, a woman is assaulted and brutally murdered in her home. It happened in broad daylight, as her husband lunched with friends, and neighbors bustled in and out of their houses.

Two nearby women have encounters with a strange man and remember him. Neither would have believed that they would be the only living survivors able to identify who was then an unknown serial killer in the midst of his most deadly killing frenzy. The two become part of a police investigation that ends up a cold case.

It wasn't until 2007, when a detective working another murder ran a new DNA analysis on a piece of evidence, that a computer registers a hit on the killer's identity. This led to a convicted rapist who had no prior murder charges. Thus began the unmasking of a serial killer of nine women, and resolved sixty rapes and robberies.

The true story of the dark life of Timothy Krajcir, who hunted his victims in parking lots and neighborhoods, ends with his sentencing at a federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on April 4, 2008.

Author Bio:
Bonney Hogue Patterson says, “The murder of my neighbor, Virginia Lee Witte, occurred in the small, middle-American town of Marion, Illinois, on May 12, 1978. I had only moved to the area in January of that year, did not know everyone who lived nearby, and did not realize an encounter with a rather ominous stranger was not someone generally known in the area.� This is the author's first book. She now lives near St. Louis, Missouri.
