Say WHaT?!?
No rifles? Time for an intervention.

Open on 4th of July?
Just got home from the pistol range. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but there's definitely something screwing me up. More practice is in order. I think I'll go again on Sunday.

What's frustrating is that it is extremely difficult to find a place to train in this state. While I enjoy shooting, my main reason for visiting the range is not to have fun but to maintain, and where possible, improve my skill set. If you train in a particular fashion your performance in real life will reflect that training. Firing one round, pausing for two seconds, firing another round and so forth while standing in the open, not moving, not seeking cover etc will get you killed in a gunfight. I work in an area where the chances that I will be engaged in a gunfight are very high. Almost every Officer that I work with who has twenty or more years on the job has shot at least one person and most have been in multiple gunfights. For me the question is not if I'm going to be engaged in a gun battle, it's when. For that reason I try to keep my shooting skills as sharp as possible. Here in Maryland that's tough to do.
I don't shoot rifle often, but I'm usually done in 20 minutes. If they changed the time to 20 minutes on crowded days, that would make the turn around faster.
