Roger that sir.
I have that thread saved to my desktop.
I also took Perigrino's idea from the "pistol coaching via e-mail" thread.
I should have been more specific and to the point in my original post.
I have a 100 round drill that I came up with as a hodgepodge of what I have read here and in a copy of American Handgunner where Clint Smith addressed this topic. I have been using it for roughly a year. I would like some critique on it.
NDD said "I disagree with "self-diagnosis" in neophytes. And most people in general. If you knew what you were doing wrong, you could just stop it."
I am looking for a more experiecned perspective on this than my own.

My targets are paper plates. If I hit the plate the shot counts, if not it doesn't.

Slow Fire- 30rnds
10rnds @ 7m
10rnds @ 15m
10rnds @ 25m

Draw and Fire and Reloading- 30rnds @ 7m
3rnds one mag, 2rnds second mag
Load 3rnd mag and holster pistol.
Draw, fire, reload, fire.
I do this drill 6x

Then I set up two plates vertically, one on top of the other and an index card on the top.
I draw from holstered, fire 2rnds at the top plate, followed by two at the bottom plate and finally one to the notecard. I preform this drill 4x @ 7yds.

Next I fire 10rnds @ 7yds in rapid succession.

Finally I shoot 5rnds weak hand supported and 5rnds weak hand unsupported both at @ 7yds.

I average 90% accuracy overall in the exercise. I seem to be stuck here. I keep a shot log of how many rounds I shoot, the type of ammo, time and date and my accuracy. If I have a friend with me I get them to load the mags for me and slip in a snap cap to simualte a malfunction.
TS, I can do 100 proper pushups immediately followed by 6 proper pull-ups so I am still working on the physical fitness aspects of proper shooting.
