I've only really watched youtube videos on how to use it though, as there really aren't any classes for this type of thing in my country (just regular cpr classes for civilians)
Have you discussed with your local emergency services the need to have such training more available for citizens? I would have to think that they would be in favor of helping sport shooters in this regard.

Rhetorical question: why 2 separate pieces of paper? Just combine them!
Agreed. Particularly on this one, it's dumb beyond belief to not have all the information in the first page. Plenty of room for it.
While NROI is at it, make the language simpler to understand and eliminate contradictions and redundancies.
I think this stage procedure is clearer:
On the start signal, from within the fault lines, engage T1-T4 with only one round each from each side of the barricade and through the port. Make a mandatory reload each time that you re-engage T1-T4. You may shoot around the sides of the barricade and through the port in any order.

If your USPSA belt rig is the usual dual belt setup it's definitely a no go
If your holster is significantly offset away from the body and/or dropped to where the front strap of the pistol's grip falls below the top of the belt, definitely a no go. Read the rules carefully on this.
I shoot IDPA SSP with the same pistol I shoot in USPSA Production.
I use a simple kydex OWB pancake holster, my every day CC belt (Ares Gear), and a couple of kydex clip-on mag pouches (same kind I use for CC).
Speaking of magazines and pouches, you won't need as many as you do in Production. There's a limit to how many you can have on you anyway and it's a lot fewer than five.
At any rate, the course design rules are such that you won't need more than two mags (if shooting ESP or SSP) to complete any stage. I start any stage with three (the most allowed in SSP), two on the belt and one in my front pocket that goes in the gun at make ready.

Ben Stoeger has some interesting thoughts in his newest book about shot calling (not relying solely on the sights), sight focus (shoots everything with a target focus), and how an iron-clad index is key to going as fast as you're physically capable of.
I recommend you buy it.

Except for beginners, I don't understand why you'd prefer to spend 1000$ for practice over a 50$ part, for example.
In most cases the $50 for some magic part is a waste of money, while in most cases $1000 spent on structured, disciplined practice will pay off in spades.
That is, if improving matters to you.

get a used target from a match. use it as a template and cut up boxes. free targets!
I like using IPSC classic targets for practice and that's how I make them. I got a left over from a match and keep it as a template.

Two weekends ago I watch a cop DQ himself for breaking the 180 during a reload then be a dick about it. Yammering about how his swat training made him reload the way he did and then loudly announcing that since couldn't shoot he was leaving.
I don't think he will be missed.........

Hello, Bart, I am a newbie here. My name is Jack Simonton from SC, USA. I love shooting and practice hard for this. Thanks for giving beautiful tricks with a lot of information. I think it might be helpful for me and my shooting carrier.

I don't agree and I'll explain why. Maybe it will look clear at the end (please, take some time to answer, don't just reply to offend my uncommon opinion)
Let's take out of the equation some very expensive parts, and let's take into consideration gun parts which may cost from 5 to 200$
A very easy to understand example for what I know :
Cz Shadow2, ipsc production rules.
Stock shadow2 vs main spring 11LB.
In the first case, to do what you can do with the 11Lb spring, you will need so much practice that it could literally be a "waste" of money and time.
Let's say it's 20$ in the worst case. You spent it once, and here you go. 100% sure it will take less time to press the trigger, OR it will mean less mistakes done due to pressing it. Have you ever considered how much points you might lose (or not gain) due to using a bad gun?
Yes, everybody can have good results with a bad/average gun, with a lot of practice. Is it smart? I can bet it's not.
It's the same example you can use for training courses or practice.
Another part is : HOW MUCH will that part change your results?
To me, for example, the RIGHT recoil spring will give HUGE results compared to the effort, while practicing with a BAD SPRING and trying to have the same results will take MUCH MORE EFFORT.
After some time, there will be a stable point, so, trying new parts will probably give 0 to little improvements.
The key measurement is improvement/cost. If you are decent at analysis, you will probably find out what is more cost effective.
Another simple example for what I know :
1500$ to spend:
Glock 17
Cz Shadow2Let's say it's 500$ for the Glock and 1000$ for the Shadow2.
Saying you have 500$ left to spend on practice is a really bad idea to me. It won't ever be enough to cover the disadvantages of using a Glock. Maybe you will have to shoot 30'000 rounds to be somewhere near the same level of a 1000-rounds shadow2.
Just yesterday I stomped on a guy shooting a Shadow 2. I shoot a P-09 with less than $30 of upgraded springs, a $39 FO front sight, and a home-made stipple job.

Yeah, the "continual breakages" will do them right in.
It's awesome how some people pass anecdotal evidence and opinion as fact

I was referring to “he said he doesn’t use the scoop because it doesn’t guarantee a perfect grip every time”.
He may have been referring to just HIS experience with it.
If he was applying that statement to scoop draw in general, that’s when I refer to it as subjective.
There's nothing subjective about Eric's experience. He can tell when he gets a good grip and when he doesn't. It is objective and observable by looking at his hand position on the gun and by evaluating hits and splits. Nobody can tell him "no brah, you just think you got a bad grip on the gun".

That’s subjective. Im not Eric, but I’m 10x more consistent “scooping” than not.
I never “learned” to scoop, or practiced it. It’s just what happen when I started shooting.
Trying to not “scoop” feels very awkward to me. Whether it’s my Limited gun from a Race master, or a Glock from kydex.
Not subjective at all. I can measure my losses in time and points down from a less than secure draw that occurs if I try to scoop the gun out of the holster. Not to mention the mental distraction of knowing I have a screwed up grip on my pistol for at least until I have to reload (or waste even more time trying to fix it during a transition).
Could I learn it? I'm sure I could. Do I want to spend the time and money to do so? Not particularly, since there are other skills I need to master that will net me bigger gains in HF per stage than a draw that happens at most once.
Maybe you meant to say "that's individual"? If so, I agree.

I just took the Eric Grauffel training course this past weekend. We had this same discussion. He basically said he doesn't use the scoop draw because it doesn't guarantee a perfect grip every time. If he can't replicate a technique with 100% consistency in a match under stress he won't use it.
That's how I look at it and why I don't do a scoop draw.

Worked with junior shooter a couple of weeks ago. By the end of practice she had made a couple of .85s with called A hits at about 6yds & several low .9s.... all conventional draw... no scoop. How much faster do you want to go? Lol. We started practice she was averaging 1.35....
A single shot doesn't mean much. What were her splits and where did the second shot go?

When they change the last command to "Range is clear, probably, I do not really know" , then I won't feel like it is my job to see an empty chamber.
If the pistol goes click, range is clear.
If the pistol goes bang, shooter gets to try again so it does go click and the goes to Dairy Queen.

I wouldn't go back to something like that (or the OP's idea) ever.
