    That is a fair point but they aren't supposed to (and can't) replicate the gun handling experience.
    When it all comes together what you do get is a group of like minded individuals who know how to have fun and a serious competition at the same time, that's what works for me.
    I still rent a 1911 and one other at a range for a half day every time I visit the USA and get through four or five boxes of shells, but that's a whole other solitary thing

    Kids grown up and gone so tarted to shoot rifle now which is still legal in the UK. Still miss the days of pistol shooting - perhaps I'll have to come over there. An old shooting acquaintance of mine won a green card in the lottery and now runs a combat pistol school in Arizona. Our Guru was Massad Ayoob.

    That's the man...

    That's him. Used to shoot with him and his wife at the Bromley Home Guard Rifle and Pistol Club in the 80's. He's now writing books - you can check them out on the web.
