There are lots of good coaches you can send your training and match videos to, for them to pay to analyse with voice over, drawings, etc.

Correct, I personally use the DAA dry fire targets, incl. the swinger: https://www.doublealpha.biz/dry-fire-targets

I think Bul uses different price settings depending on region. I'm in Belgium (EU). So besides the cost for the base model I think I spend ~€1800 of which the steel grip and the R3XL take up the biggest chunk.

Amen to that, surprised I was indeed, especially only after 7500 rounds ... I would expect it somewhere between 45-60.000 rounds. BUT, the gun shop replaced the cracked one with a new one, free of charge! At the end that's what counts.

Bul changes their generations regularly. If I'm not mistaken you can buy my upgraded version directly through Bul, obviously more expensive than the base model.

Thanks! You'll enjoy it!

Adopt a process and follow it to the letter for any and all trainings and matches:

I also know several open division shooters whom shoot in minor PF. There's certainly nothing wrong with it. If you really want to be competitive in open division, I'm afraid that shooting in major PF is a must. There is of course always a "black swan" that shoots very well competitively in open division minor. On the other hand, I really think IPSC, and thus too USPSA, really need to review and especially lower the major PF for classic, standard and open division. I do not see a positive reason why it should be that high, especially because of the destructive impact on the guns, as well as the seriously increased cost of reloading nowadays ...

I use "Esp1 IPSC Sport Shooter" videos on a big screen to train swingers, runners, etc. https://www.youtube.com/c/Esp1IPSCSportShooter"

I have 3 R3XL's on my open guns. 1 with issues: button to dim doesn't dim anymore ....
