Well, I was thinking about it, but the closest classes are 10 hours away, so I wouldn't mind if it didn't involve 3 nights in a motel and at 10 hour drive, LOL. That is why I am looking into it. I don't mind RO'ing, but recently I have seen some guys RO and they did not do a great job. Kinda got me to thinking about if a non certified RO should RO.

I guess one of the big questions I have is do you have to be a certified RO to RO ?

I was wondering who should be a RO ? By that I mean who should go through the NROI course ? Does everyone that runs the clock in any match, or only large matches ?
I used the search feature and got threads about everything except that, Lol. Feel free to link a pertinent thread !
Thanks !

I talked to Steel Challenge and they said they only list major matches. Now, having said that I have had best results finding matches by google searches. I put in the largest city name, steel challenge, practical shooting, range. Then email the contact person on any pertinent web sites. If your search returns a IDPA club, email and ask about steel, if it returns a rifle match, email and ask about steel challenge in the area. My best intel has come from other shooters.
I hope that helps.

Should be no problem as long as your first purchase is a few reloading manuals and you read them first before you buy the press.

If I was at a match that the RO shot the stage with us, in other words not a match where RO's shoot the day before then I would not have a problem with anyone pointed out he was mag less unless I had all ready hit the buzzer. If you are shooting and RO'ing then you (me) are inclined to forget a few things. Now, If the RO and score keeper shot the day before (bigger match) then I would say that the "coaching" rule would apply. That is just my opinion on the matter.

I picked up shooting with 2 eyes open many years ago. I have done it so long that I can't tell you how I do it. I do remember when I first started. I would sit for hours on my deer stand with a scoped rifle and I remember looking at a object like a tree or something, through my scope eye, then focus on the same object with my other eye. It was almost impossible at first, but every day I would try it. Over time it got to where I could see the same thing with both eyes. A few years later I picked up a pistol for the first time and by then I had all read learned to shoot with both eyes open with a shotgun and a rifle.
This may or may not help you, but its the way I learned. As far as focusing on a front sight or target, I really have no idea. I look at the target and I shoot the target and I hit the target.
Try the scope thing and see if it helps. I'm sure you could do it with a monocular if you don't have a scope.

Remember, draw times can vary depending on type of gun and holster you are using. Someone with a production set up and someone with a Limited set up are not going to have the same draw times.
As for me, Limited holster is a average of 1.2 sec, thats a draw and hit 100 percent. My production set up is 1.8 seconds for a draw and hit.
As I time myself I see picking up more time making transition shots and what order I shoot. I found out I can gain up to 2 seconds changing my order and getting my hits.

Usually a 1911 single stack or a 686. Yes, I do reload. Been reloading for about a decade ! Thinking about trying out a IDPA match.
-
If you have never reloaded before I first suggest getting a reloading manual. Then spend some time with someone that reloads. Then get you a Dillon.

Looks like the answer is no, unless its higher than level 1.
