    To save some time, instead of issf you could slap a little bit of paint on the bit of wall at home you watch who'll you practice dry fire drills for ipsc and 3/multi gun

    I think part of the membership process, is shooting on issf targets for a bit, to prove you can maintain cone of fire etc, before you get full membership and general access to all ranges (ipsc, cas, etc.)

    But yes, drills at home etc a good thing (now to actually do it.....)

    That not a bad idea, seen some new pistol shooters who could have done with that practice!

    I can't talk, the only weekly pistol shooting I do at the moment is air pistol-good for your basic skills but I really miss ispc

    So, there is where you been today? Lol! Just joking! Great stuff, I was spending another few hours at the doctors office then.
    Go for it, I am just been patient and waiting for the people around me to sort out the club in my area.

    Congrats!

    So true, but finding that mates have gotten the ipsc bug from me and bought cz's, but their local clubs mainly shoot other disciplines. They follow suit and end up having to buy a more suitable pistol, cos the cz is a ipsc beast

    Maybe they should look at being pro active and changing things at their clubs.

    Ours used to be all CAS. Now it's a bit of everything. We even have a gimp😆

    NRA is Action Pistol - once you go Action you never go back!

    Being over gunned is under rated.
