Bidah, I feel for the distance thing!  Any chance an indoor range might be doing something?

Only if I build it, and that was in the works a few years ago before it fell apart.  To my knowledge there isn't an indoor range in the entire state.  I believe there might be one in Boise at the cost of 8 hours of one way driving. :(  Oh, how about Spokane at 6 hours..  Living in the sticks is great, and I just have had to give up some things.  Access to training from professionals, or indoor ranges, is one of them.  I did note, too late, that Mike Seeklander was having a two day competition shooting course not far from here.  Now THAT would have been a good thing to go to, and completely unexpected.

Congrats, any time on the range with the kids is a good time. Show them what you know. Guess that is why I assist also with a Boy Scouts of America Venturing Crew?  ;D The kids are our future to shooting sports. They need to learn while they are young.

Ping I believe you are right.  It is one of the reasons that I was involved for quite a few years with the Appleseed Project.  We had a lot of kids come through the program, besides my own.

I got some great Pro advice on how to do the movement with the pistol and not get DQ'd for it.  I have been practicing all week, and have a few more till the next match.  Then we can see if I have made the new stuff 'stick'. :)  I should say it is not just me, I have been also having both boys practice too.
