I took a Simunitions class in a shoot house last year.

I did everything wrong (shot the wrong guy twice, got ambushed and killed twice), but, oh, man, did I learn a lot.

Training on a square range? OK to learn to operate the weapon. That’s about it.

You still haven't pointed out where I gave "advice."

Where did I give advice? Answer the question or confirm your sleaziness.

I am positive that I am right about the reason you take offense at my calling criminals cowards.

Was it red wine or white wine with cans? I can never remember!

When it comes to pistols, rather than pay club dues, you’re better off spending the money on a laser cartride and target system and practicing at home.

Some local ranges have a certain day and time when they allow practice on moving/multiple targets and drawing from the holster, but only with trainers there and that’s on THEIR schedule. And good luck finding a local night or low/light training option.

Very, but only if I'm being attacked by 108 millimeter flying clay discs.
