No worries. No apology necessary.
I am in Metro west...the real metro west....where we have dragons and such so I never would have looked at the Hopkington Club thread.
I have wanted to do IDPA for a long time now but never made the jump as I have a hard time getting around.
I’m lucky that I can usually go during the week to keep the stupid crap shows to a minimum. It doesn’t eliminate it but it keeps it down.
Your post just caught my attention as Florida wouldn’t accept my wife’s pistol course because it didn’t have the instructor number on it, it was an older course with live fire, so she had to get another course completed and back to them in 30 days or re-apply and start over so it needed to happen quickly. She went to MFS for the course and said that they were awesome. Literally raving about how welcoming and professional they were for a week.
As we all know, women aren’t always welcomed and made to feel comfortable in the shooting sports.
