    Like most women shooters, tough as we may be, I won’t be soaking my hands in brine any time soon. As i mentioned, I dry fire and shoot a lot. I’ll try to get some tapes of different kinds and tape over the already formed callous on my thumb, see what sticks and what feels the most natural.

    Honestly, I think you’re good. Bring athletic and painter’s tape, try both as needed. Your attitude is good, this isn’t your first rodeo, you’ve been dryfiring, and shooting for a while; you’re fine. I don’t know how the weather is where the class is, but don’t underestimate how much shorts can help with temperature regulation. Also, simple running shoes may not be tactical, but they feel great. I assume you’ve already got a good belt and you’re good on mag carriers (for a class like this, you’ll probably want to be carrying more mags than you normally do).

    If you have money lying around, lots of spare loaded mags rock. Again, not sure on the venue, but a folding chair helps a lot.

    I hope that you write a class review here.

    I have shot the 1500 round and 2500 round TPC classes. If you use gloves, I have found golf gloves and Mechanix Wear 0.5 mm gloves work well. My favorite is the Mechanix Wear.

    I also occasionally use flexible band-aids. Don't use the cheaper brands, you get what you pay for. Besides the straight, get the other shapes too.

    But my go-to solution now is New Skin. I put it on my under-the-trigger-guard finger, the web knuckle and the palm. Those are the spots that rub for me. When you use a forward cant and grip properly those are the pressure points. I put on several layers, drying in between.

    Oh, and take plenty of notes.

    Bill Rogers has some good thin shooting gloves.

    The brine was slightly tongue & cheek.

    I’m a big fan of new skin. Carry it in my range stuff. I hadn’t thought of putting it on in advance. That’s a good idea, thank you.

    I’m a nerd and have always found note taking aids retention of whatever I study.

    I have 7 match quality mags and a belt that holds 5, so, should be ok there. My gear is pretty standard uspsa stuff. If I need to switch to my idpa weapon and gear, 7 mags for that and can carry 4 at a pinch.

    I will try to do an AAR after the class.

    I changed my schedule around due to likely adopting a dog this weekend and wanting to be home for that, so will be doing the 2500 round class later this year. My 92 callous is in full effect by now and I think I’m gonna be ok with that and new skin if needed, but the calloused area is the only place my 92s seem to abrade me at all.

    Other thread on puppy training books is where I’ll likely post any pix of her royal mischievousness. It’s not certain we will get her as yet but we will know soon.
