    Thanks Frank as a matter of fact there is one group very close, I'll see if I can get some info. I'm also planning to go to Tiger Valley later this year for some formal pistol training, really looking forward to it.

    An excellent plan. I'm a firm believer in formal training. I think you'll enjoy it.

    I generally split the difference on this one. If I'm the active shooter (thus forcing my oposition to be the reactive shooter, or shooters) and I have a very good feel for their position relative to mine, then I may reload on the run, provided that I have chosen a path that will at no time allow them to engage me while I can't shoot back. Understandably that doesn't happen very often, and I usually don't like to take my eyes off them for more than a second since if I can't see them, I can't know for sure where they are or what it is they are doing. So I usually reload as fast as I can behind cover with half an eye out for movement.

    Lurper, the range looks very much like Ben Avery, is it?
