Being aware of dealing with bulky clothing while reholstering is one skill that is very commonly missing at matches. People still look at me funny when I warn them about it like I would for "something dangerous".
I could see that being an issue most of the time when i shoot a cold weather match that requires a holster I take off my jacket and shoot the stage with a sweatshirt only.

I noticed this policy at a couple ranges. Never understood the thinking behind it. I think if you can demonstrate your ability to safely draw and place rounds on paper within whatever "testing" framework the range establishes you should be allowed to draw from a holster. I find it better to have a holstered pistol at the range. That way its always with me, not on a shelf taking up space. Maybe the fear is that many LEOs will fail and get pissed off lol.
Dry fire practice is good, but its not a replacement for live fire, even when practicing drawing.
My take is when you draw at an indoor range if you have a mishap you are just as likely to hurt yourself as someone else. The private ranges (at least CJ ) you are in the pits with berms or concrete on either side of you less chance of an ND hurting someone other than yourself. Just my opinion nothin to back it up
-
Practice by drawing with an empty gun and dryfire. No need to go to a range to practice drawing from a holster.
-
That is not true. Many people used to shoot from the holster at SS with prior permission. 2009 is when I think they stopped letting people do it who were not on the special list. There were a string of unfortunate events that led to strengthening their policies.
That was before my time which is probably why I didn't know about it
-
I don't recall anyone saying they have ever been able to draw from a holster at shore shot. CJ will let you with a special use badge and I am pretty sure it is ok at OB but I don't recall it at any public ranges.

Finally got to take it to the range today. Thanks for the help guys same ammo as before no issues shot great no FTF or FTE
-
Give me a yell on this if you guys go I'd be up for it
-
I must apologize. I was assured by staff this past weekend that they would be open. Of course I was disappointed (again) when I showed up there today.
Which bring's me to ask your forgiveness and also......
I shoot mostly levers (44mag,45colt, 30-30s 444's & 45-70's) and one 308 bolt, what are my options for an alternative place to shoot?
Also I'm in need of some handgun practice and would like to find an indoor range (that let's me use my own ammo), that I could visit during the week.
There are options but they are going to be a fair amount more in the money department. CJRPC meets your needs but unless you are really using Dix a lot and spend a ton on hourly fees it is more expensive

Thanks T-bill and you answered my follow up as well
-
Does anyone know if the safety is reverseable on a standard 10/22. If it is how hard is it to do
-
Update on the problems - for various reasons it took a while for my local LGS to return the firearm to Ruger and for me to get it back. Ruger replaced the barrel and rear sight at no charge, and my FFL didn't charge anything to send it back and return it.
Everything fixed. Ruger customer service was excellent.
Always good to hear about great customer service

New video from Matt Best. It pokes fun at many of the stuff we make fun of here
-
So just a question if an RO dq's can they still RO as they are not part of the match anymore
-
Got the parts at RepairClinic.com the other day and did it myself with some help from Youtube.
Thanks everyone
LMAO I just finished doing my start switch like five minutes ago an I got my parts from the same place how funny you posted this now
-

-
There is also uspsa and CJ this weekend or there should be it is the second Sunday
-
Hey Blake in case you wanted a back up I think Howell gun works has another one on consignment
-
If you can bring the gear and shoot the match as long as you can draw safely from the holster. They MD will most likely have you do a safty check before the match. I would think the indoor match would be a good place to start less complicated stages (Alec kingsover
) and less round count. -
I gave up too
Many sites giving me a hassle about not being on nj even though I live In Jackson
-
Glad you posted this reminded me the range is closed all week for shotgun deer that would have sucked to saddle up and head out to realize that
-
Interesting. So I just went through my last batch of permits issued six months ago. If I apply for more within the next eighteen months there's no need to get re-fingerprinted?
That was my understanding when I went in to get the papers for permits
-
That's a good question. Wouldn't they be lumped with tracer rounds?
Are tracers illegal just thought most ranges would not let you use them
