What is the best way to dry fire with intention? Who would be a good person to follow for these type of tactics? I know its not just rack the slide and pull the trigger, but not sure how to make get better by dry firing.

​@@brennanbrennecke3323I would 100% expect a fat tacticool nobody with a profile picture like that to say disingenuous statements about Ben Stoeger. Learn to shoot LARPER.

[@turbotaz2067]

Does Lodi allow non shooting spectators to watch at matches?

[@kylewalton7005]

im surprised you didn't talk very much about pcc since it provides a huge advantage. such as no single hand shots and super high capacity mags. and yes i love my pcc because of those advantages.

[@paddypibblet846]

You get no advantages because you compete in your division. PCC guys compete against other PCCs lol.
