MWT IDPA Practices?

[XTAV750]

I'm not sure if I missed it, is there an outdoor practice tomorrow? Or have they not started yet? Thanks.

There are no official scheduled outdoor practices this year.

Aw that's too bad. I really enjoyed them.

We did to... If we can get some more volunteers no doubt they would be easily brought back...

Hell, if I were an SO I'd help run them. I've never gotten into the inner workings of running matches, but I'd be willing to learn. I didn't shoot at all last year, I'm looking to change that for this season.

I've offered, but was told you must be an SO, and to be an SO you must be a paid member of IDPA for something like six months, and then requires a paid course that's only available once or twice a year.

Seems like an awfully high barrier of entry just so you can volunteer your time...

I'm not an so, and I have run several indoor practices. Are you sure you need to be an so for outdoor practices?

These words came from a MWT member???? When I speak of a member I am referring to anyone with a MWT techwear shirt.

I think the only REQUIREMENT is that you are an HSC member if you lead a practice indoors or out.... The other comments, its not the MWT I know.... As you are EXACTLY right seems like a very high barrier of entry.....

But if you have interest in working/helping keeping the sport going, its pretty easy just talk to the folks with the "shirts" we always can use an extra hand

+1 to what Aaron says. The problem is when you set up a weekly practice you HAVE TO HAVE people that can run the practice every week- there in lies the rub. Lot of people couldn't get out of work in time, etc. so it bombed. Doing an indoor AND and outdoor practice puts a large strain on the volunteers and most people can get to the indoor practice so….. Personally I don't like to shoot indoors these days but I understand that challenge for MWT and the crew.
