I have shot open a couple times with my friends gun and a couple with my single stack kimber to get classified...and i loved it... i really do want to make a career of shooting but like anything it takes a lot of time and money.....i can always make time to practice but i find it harder to maintain good grades, practice, and have a job (although im looking for one)... i have been shooting L10 for years and loved it but i want to further my shooting in open
