Beginning Matchers

My strongest suggestion for those just starting out.

1) Download Jim Bradshaw's "5 step approach" found here in this forum. Read and reread it several times. Then practice races using ONLY those guidelines for 60-90 days. Take NOTES.

2) Move to the "Mind's Eye" series of threads. There you will find Mr. Bradshaw's EXACT initial steps he had me do after familiarizing myself with the basics (5 step approach etc). Take your time and read the opening headers to the threads SEVERAL times please. It is THERE you will see EXACTLY what he had me do. Start with the first Mind's Eye thread. Spend at least a month working races in that fashion. Take NOTES.

Then drop me a line.

***** If you do NOT give yourself at LEAST 4-6 MONTHS of focused work on these fundamentals you have no chance of success. *****

This gives one the BEST chance to learn and RETAIN things that will help them matching. That is what Mr. Bradshaw wanted.

All the best
Richie
