Primer
Plain and simple
Primer brings you clear, actionable articles on shooting. We put “pen to paper” to explore, challenge and pressure test training concepts and techniques against objective, measurable standards, weed out jargon, myths, inaccuracies, attention grabs and stunts, and help prioritize training effectively — stripping away the nonsense to get straight to the best ideas out there.
