[QUOTE="MarkRohfrietsch, post: 77358985, member: 207588"] I'm a RSO and a club level instructor. Those who have been trained in Bullseye and PPC and who transition into run and gun style shooting and transition in to IDPA/IPSC type sports generally exhibit much better barrel and trigger control that the gung-ho types that have been plying shooting games, get a license, take a weekend holster course and instantly become "John Wicks". Barrel sweeps and an itchy trigger finger take a whole lot more time to become instinctive than a a weekend that teaches a bit of safety and some rules. Problem I'm finding is nobody wants to put in the time; they want what they want. Most can dump mags, but the penalty count is high. Most don't practice because they can't afford ammo; did not buy a .22 pistol when we could here in Canada. Bullseye was all that was available to most of us when I started shooting hand-gun (70s), I did a lot of plinking on the farm, and in the 80's shot trap and skeet. Got into PPC about 10 years ago; IDPA was an easy transition; nothing to unlearn; I could shoot as accurately as about everyone, and trap and skeet did not hurt either. Trigger and barrel control are instinctive. Those of us who shoot well and safe are guys 40-70 years old; those in 20-40 age group who shoot multi discipline, including trap or sporting clays, shoot safe and well, and also improve progressively. The gung-ho gang improves slowly if at all, and continues to earn penalties and safety warnings. I don't entirely blame our members either; our gun-laws here in Canada are designed to destroy our sports; the economy has made our sport hard to access; and the woke, self entitled attitude has not done us any favors. Ranges are also threatened by urban encroachment; as is ours. [/QUOTE]
