Chas.

Pm sent, Charles.

I would become a member of both if you have the funds. If not PSC offers everything!!!

Excuse my ignorance, but who is SRVA? And $15 for a three hour IDPA class? That's a heck of a bargain! I am most definitely interested!

Very helpful, guys. Thanks for the input Andrew, if (and I still say "if") I switch clubs I'll see about requesting a "demit" from the good folks at Bayou Rifles.
Does the PSC or any of it's members offer PD training on site like Hot Wells does? That would be a great selling point for me, but I don't see it mentioned on the site (although matches are mentioned of course).

You realize that if I were to opt for PSC and since my in-laws live in Alvin, I'll be having to drop the wife off at her Mom's house every time I go... and then making the sojourn to the range by myself. That's a hitch in my evil plan, since it's hard enough to get her to go with me to Juliff to shoot (unless we're shooting her Marlin 60 or the Para SKS. Ha!) and would be darn near impossible to get her to go shooting with me so close to "mom".

Edit: Just read up on the 2009 TexasCHLforum Day at PSC... apparently those are the types of training clinics I've been looking for... but are they a regular occurrence or was this only an occasional event?

For about two years (or is it three) we've been members of Bayou Rifles and have absolutely been very happy with the club... but the end of the year is coming along and we'd really like to shoot IDPA-style for a change. Not being able to draw or move while pistol shooting at Bayou Rifles is a problem.... and I'm getting a hankering to better my personal protection skills with some IDPA shooting (plus the plate shooting and was it called the "Texas Star"? looks like a lot of fun!)
So I'm at a quandary; Bayou Rifles in Juliff is closer (we live in Sugar Land) and PSC is in Friendswood (a longer drive). Do I shoot enough to pony-up to be a member of BOTH clubs? Sometimes, sometimes not.
Should I just continue to draw in front of a mirror at home (not very realistic) or should I join PSC and train in a more realistic fashion (and spend more time driving)?
Has anyone in the forum been a member of both clubs? I see at PSC they have orientation classes 2 or 3 times a month... does that include a full tour?
I do love Bayou Rifles for the long gun ranges... but I really feel the need to do some PD exercises and training and it appears that PSC would be a good choice for that. What do you guys think? Your input is much appreciated.
