There was a lot that lead up to it, but the short story is that personnel by and large weren't taking advantage of open range days. This really wasn't cost efficient. So, I changed the policy this year concerning remedial training. Personnel, as in years past, could attend as many range dates as they wished as long as they shot their actual qualifications cold meaning that they had to tell the instructors they were there to qualify and couldn't "warm up".
We had one deputy who chose to not take advantage of any practice and sought to qualify on the first day. They didn't make it. Attendance spiked after that.
