That is great. To echo what Chuck said, this class alone is worth the cost of admission. I will be doing my pile on lecture of the training habits consistent to some of the most successful gun fighters of our time. I am also working right now to get the actual crime scene photo's from a couple of cases to make the presentation better than the one last year.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Shot IDPA today. Quite a few folks got penalties for reloading on the move behind cover (a long wall). Like Me! In our group, we have some high ranked folks in the rule making hierarchy. They were lambasted with the silliness of this rule. About the game - one person got all bent for the call. He said he was doing the best to handle the 'threat'. It was pointed out that this is a game. The stage started with you in the open with four facing you and they open fire - thus I pointed out that you are probably dead anyway. Most stages start with a situation that would be best handled by running away. Threat guy said - NOT ME. So we pointed out again that the 4 guys probably shot you before you continued on through the stage. Just a game!
nevermind
Somebody -- can't remember if it was John Hearne, Dr No or Bolke said it is a game when there is a timer. I think you just follow the rules, if you want to play that game.
Different game, but I shot USPSA today, and in all five stages don't recall a single penalty assessed against anyone in our squad.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I just got to this point in the thread and had to back up Nyeti (not that he needs my help).
As a USPSA RO I see this in probably 80%+ of the shooters. The common refrain when I correct them is "No I wasn't. My finger wasn't ON the trigger." as if the 1/8" of air between trigger and finger is a talisman. I think the only way to get them to wake up would be to wear a gopro of camera glasses so that they can see what I see as they're moving and reloading.
It's bad enough that when one of the few truly finger aware shooters runs a stage it's a stand out.
