I agree with this as well...sjfcontrol wrote:My pet peeve is the inability to draw from a holster. Seems the ability to draw and fire cleanly would be somewhat important in a self defense situation. None of the indoor ranges I've been to allow it. Some of the outdoor ones do. But I can see an issue with cross-draw, or shoulder harness as one would tend to "sweep" various parts of the range with that style of carry. With straight strong-side draw, the only thing in the way might be the shooting table. Either remove it (tilt it up) or implement a fine if the shooter shoots it. All draws should be under control and on target prior to firing.
The only real practice I get is at home with the weapon cleared. I would really like to be able to draw from my holster, point, and shoot. I guess they're just protecting their investment. The ceiling could end up shot just as easily as the bench. I could see someone " over-rotating" their wrist and putting a FMJ in the ceiling doing no telling what type of damage. It might sound far-fetched but is possible.
. How can we be expected to practice legitimate self-defense techniques?
