    Glad to hear that!

    QFT! I completely agree. To simply navigate about a stage under any time pressure at all, and shoot good points, is a huge task unto itself.

    Ditto. USPSA was probably one of my biggest drivers in improving my shooting. When I got into 2-gun, it made the rifle stuff feel like I was cheating. And IDPA . . . forget about it. Sadly it's been a few years since I shot a match (life happens, unfortunately) but I'm looking to get back into in earnest over the next year.

    Same here. Trying to place well in overall match results is a readily available, no bs, shooting challenge related directly to the disciplined application of skill (on-demand shooting.) A match won't let me kid myself about how I did...

    I'm glad to hear you made it to Homestead. The owner there is an acquaintance and I've been really happy to see everything he's accomplished there. Unfortunately I've never been able to make it down there way as it's quite the haul from north palm Beach county.

    Homestead's range is pretty nice, took a Langdon class there a few weeks ago. I might get a membership there so I can finally shoot my AR at their long distance range and for some other stuff.

    I found out I wasn't working today so I went to South Florida Pistol Club and spoke with some dudes there; they told me AIWB is fine but I had to run it with my shirt tucked in but then I later spoke with the head safety director which resulted in the ok to shoot from concealment. Only thing I had to compromise on was keeping my gun exposed when I wasn't shooting which I was fine with. So that club and AIWB is ok, for those who are around the area and were wondering.

    That's a really odd request, really...

    Baffled.

    They wanted to be able to see that I didn't have a mag loaded in my gun. Ya know those darn Darkstar holsters have a tendency of loading a round up and firing the gun when it's holstered.

    I was just happy I was able to compete from concealment but getting a "I don't like those appendix holsters because it's dangerous" from an old guy that was wearing a Serpa almost made me laugh.

    Ignoring the ever ubiquitous range derp is an important skill itself.

    Minor items and baby steps. Glad you found a range that does it. Finally in larger local matches, but I've not seen anyone competing with this type of holster yet.
