    USI seems to be turning a corner

    The last few times at the public range things seem to be going a bit faster. They also now implemented a new process where you just tell the RSO when you leave. No need to grab your license now, avoids congestion in the office.

    Hopefully the AP side have more freedom as well.

    Now to close that wall between the rifle and pistol side, will speed things up.

    Hopefully positive changes keep coming.

        The new USI president is much more customer service oriented. I am confident that lots of good changes are coming to USI.

            Fingers crossed that it works out. Was at AP practice session on Sat and the mini course looked interesting.

              Is AP practice at all like Richmond? A RO is watching the line and several shooting can come up, unholster and shoot. RO calls for ceasefire like every 15 minutes or so.

              Having a really strict and formal AP practice kind of kills the fun.

                Only one shooter at a time comes up to the line to shoot, an RO is watching and running a timer.

                  Weak! Aside from drawing, not much difference than Public range.

                      I’d say it is significantly better than the public range. Ability draw, rapid fire, shoot steel and fire at multiple targets instead of just the single paper target is definitely more fun than the public range. I haven’t been to the AP range at Richmond yet, but I get why DAP is pretty strict about safety, they don’t want to be shut down once again due to an AD going over that hill. That’s why approval for running USPSA matches is taking so long. I did get a chance to run one of the USPSA stages they had built for the recent matches at one of the practices and it was loads of fun to shoot. Looking forward to them expanding more of the USPSA stuff.

                            My understanding from speaking with existing RO is that they are so strict that even if you’re an NROI certified RO you need a more special RO (so called RO2) to oversee your practice.

                              The R & P range use NRA trained RSOs, the AP range uses NROI trained ROs which is part of USPSA. The NROI trains differently as these are completely different activities which include drawing from a holster. They have to understand the rules of the "game" which can be many. The NROI guys do a great job in such a dynamic setting.
                              I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...
