Action pistol at SVRC

I went to watch action pistol at SVRC (every second Saturday of the month); first time observing such an event (even if I had wanted to participate, they complained about the cant of my Galco Cop Slide holster and said it put the point of impact too far back, making it unusable for competing… I picked up a Blackhawk Serpa from West Coast Armory a week or so later, and liked it so much it became my carry holster).
Tim was there shooting for the first time in this type of event with his XD9, and Sandy from MSGun was also shooting, but not for the first time. Since I arrived early (the event is set for I think 0800 but people don't start shooting until around 1000), I helped set up the various courses of fire. They had a variety of requirements—white "no shoot" targets, black cover, considered impermeable, and of course the bad guys, in regular brown cardboard. Some had reload requirements, or required a certain number of shots, or carrying a heavy item, etc., designed to simulate real-world shooting "problems" and requiring creativity and adaptability to solve them.
