I had a two day course for my Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) involving study, lessons and a written/practical test with deactivated firearms.

I did a 2 day course for my “black Badge” which is a requirement for IPSC u here. Basically a holster use course and a test on the IPSC rules

I spend about 4 hrs every month taking a “Skills & Drills” class focusing on basic pistol technique, aiming, grip, holster, reloading , etc based on IPSC. Generally about 250rds each night

I have taken 2 nights of Advanced Pistol Craft based the tactical use of pistols in a firefight, focus on tactics, use of cover, assessment, etc. About 350rds each night

Plus I shoot for about 3-4 hrs every weekend.

I wish I could do more but the bullet budget is getting strained and the more advanced classes are at a range over 1 hr away.

I also had army training on pistols (BHP’s) but I managed to learn how to properly shoot despite that training.
