Around my parts of Ohio, there are several different sporting goods stores, both chain and locally owned, with various outdoor activities to shop for. From fishing, to bicycles, to football stuff and hunting gear.
I would say I've tried everything I can to get them to come with my wife and I when we bust out the targets, but one of them is concerned about messing up their gun (which I countered by saying better to break a bad gun in practice than when you need to shoot someone about to murder you, to recieve a hand-waved dismissal) and another just "doesn't have the time".... but this is the first I'm hearing of inrangeTV so I am definitely checking them out myself as well.
I really need to get first aid certified, but so far all I have done to that end is getting a couple first aid guides, a few kits of varying types, and watching a lot of videos... Basically FA... And I'd like to be able to patch someone up from a wound especially if I'm willing to put it there.
Meijer doesn't sell anymore, and Walmart went to shotguns only around me.
matches are genuinely inclusive, and homo-/transphobes are not welcome.
This is important to me. I am CIS white guy, but too often when someone is wearing shit like "fuck your feelings/let's go Brandon" and "your body my choice" and nobody says anything, but the moment you speak up you get shit for "starting something" and "making a scene" and of course good luck reminding that crowd what happens when someone like THEM makes a scene, people end up dead.
Yeah, those $500+ classes don't bother me with their time investment but holy shit I guess it's just too expensive to help people.... My account has under 400 until I can find a new job that doesn't have so much down time between contracts..
I would happily attend the WFR classes, especially since I go mountain biking, hiking, fishing, etc in the woods and know from experience a fun day riding a bike 20 miles from the road can quickly turn south when a carbon fiber part snaps and slices an artery. Luckily someone had a tourniquet in their bag and the bleeding was stemmed until EMT got there.... Eventually.
I'm sure they're better for a variety of first aid than the TCCC-CLS is, but both sound like they would be worth doing nowadays.
