I have a good friend (former paintball team member) who lives close to the Tactical Defense Institute training center in Ohio and he invited some of us former paintballers to join him for an upcoming event there.
It's the 2023 Buckey Blast on March 26th which is hosted at TDI by the Buckeye Firearms Foundation (Ohio's version of the various Citizens Defense Leagues out there).
If you click on the above link, it'll give you all the details, but in short, it's a friendly (not truly competitive) day of defensive shooting scenarios in IDPA-style setups using steel targets instead of paper and pasties. Apparently, there will also be a stationary vehicle shoot, and my buddies who have gone before said that they even do room clearing and have done home invasion exercises with legal experts on hand to tell you what you did right, and what you did wrong, (eg. should you try to de-escalate? Retreat? Go on the offensive? etc.)
Outside of the normal practice like drawing from a holster, dry firing, mag changes, etc. are there any tips anyone has to help a complete noob out? I've never shot anything like this before, only stationary targets at a regular range.
Thanks in advance!
