I'm wanting to do more competitive pistol shooting this year.

I'm decent, but no where near what I would call good. I'm a 75% guy. If I shoot 4 strings, 2 are good, 1's decent and 1 is horrible, averaging out to mediocre. On Glock Plates for example, it was normal for me to post one run 4-5 secs, and another 18 including penalty. I've done some IDPA, Gadpa and GSSF stuff in the past but never regularly. I would normally post top 20% at the GSSF shoots, at the smaller Gadpa shoots, maybe 5 out of 12.

I'm looking for tips, reading materials, any thing to help me consistency mainly. I'm not worried about times right now.

I found these on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1480271632/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Books from Ben Stoeger about training, dry fire regimens at home.

Does anyone offer a decent training class geared towards pistol competition?

REDX REDX feel free to tag someone that might help. You're the only one I can think of that I know competes.
 
I had a guy in Conyers that used to teach pistol classes. From my experience the only thing that will make you better besides that initial training is Range time... and a Dillon

So you don't do any dryfire type drills at home?
 
I dry fire the night before a match. For my PRS matches and Two gun Matches I have fairly large targets for the handgun portion so Im usually ok. I do practice on the plates just to get used to aiming at a smaller target. With the snow coming I should be able to reload for the Whole year and get some good quality practice in.

I shot USPSA for years, plus a bit of IDPA, Steel Challenge, etc. If you wanna get together with me for a few hours here and a few there, we could work something out.
