i think for existence as an org that has live fire exercises, rules on the course are required.
it’s as close to real life as you can get. i know some people who’ve gone through the courses and they’ve found it useful. obviously not perfect, but more dimensions than static paper target.
Quite. If IDPA (for example) were a free-fire zone, I wouldn't do it. I'm neither insane nor stupid.
BUT ...
The rulebook does reduce realism.

I regularly shoot IDPA and other competitions. I agree that it's useful, and a huge improvement over shooting from behind a bench, down a lane, at a static paper target.
