    Default Tactical style range

    Is there a place in Colorado that has a tactical style range? Something with barriers and other things or even a MOUT style situation? I am guessing no for insurance and other risk reasons. But I figured I would ask.

    Thanks

    Stuff like that happens every weekend at IPSC/USPSA/IDPA and 3-gun matches all over the state.

    I know there are 3 gun comps. I plan to get into those in the future. I just wanted to become more proficient before I did. I wanted to practice first so I don't embarrass myself. I was hoping there was some clubs out here that had something that was similar to that. If not, if there is a club owner reading this, it might be a huge money maker draw for you.

    There really isn't all that much money to be made in it unfortunately. Its been tried more than once here.

    It doesn't matter how much you practice before shooting a match. We all learn at our first match just how high the bar for shooting skills has been risen and we really have no clue. In many cases, all the practice done before competing is for not and bad habits were practiced to the point of hard to break problems. go to a match, and then the learning begins.

    Like friday said, you will learn more at one match then you will practicing by yourself for months. Also you can learn ALOT from others at the matches. You just have to get out and do it.

    Well one of the other issues is I don't own a shotgun yet. Its on the list. But cash is the issue. So actual 3 gun comp is still not possible for me.

    Not trying to sound dumb, but I figured I needed to have all 3 types of weapons to participate. I just have a pistol and my AR currently.
