Can’t find a plate rack to get ready for Bianchi? Our NRA Publications Deputy Executive Director Chip Lohman is making do with cheap and plentiful coffee filters. As you can see in the above photograph, a few coffee filters stapled to some cardboard can be a great DIY training aid during a practice session on the falling plates. 

We would love to see the creative ways that our readers train for their favorite discipline. Please send us your photos at [email protected].
