Not all but a lot of people who shoot at indoor ranges shoot maybe 45-50 rounds, buy a new gun once a year. Can’t afford 3to 400 rounds holster mags mag holder, not to mention a gun for just shooting matches. I’ve had lots of people tell me , I can’t afford that.
So free match for first time may help, some don’t like to go to a Competition match. Money will be the biggest downside, and time.
ps John when you coming back ?
