Password Problems
Jan 7th
I apologize for the password issues that we were dealing with earlier.
In order to log in to the free portion of the site, you will need to reset your password. If you click the Lost Your Password link, it will now mail you a link. You click on the link, and your password will be emailed to you. I am really sorry for the inconvenience.
For the playbook portion, if you were already a member you will need to sign up for a new membership. Once you have done that, I will add you to the subscription portion of the website which will allow you the ability to view the playbook.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding!
Coach Pratley

Changes
Dec 29th
As many of you have probably seen, we are making some drastic changes to the look of the Pistol Spread Option Nation. I have decided to offer the website as a free service. All of the content is now free with the exception of the Playbook section. The playbooks are still for members only. If you are currently a member of the site, your password will still work for the playbook section, but you will have to create a new user name and ID to leave comments or post information on the website.
I hope that you enjoy the new look and user-friendly content of the Pistol Spread Option!
