The weather couldn't have been nicer at 70 degrees with no noticeable humidity and the very rare breeze in the late afternoon.

John Benner's staff at the Tactical Defense Institute and the IDPA volunteers couldn't have been more prepared for what was about to take place either. 

All told about 90 people converged on the facility Sunday and shot in excess of 20,000 rounds in IDPA styled self-defense scenarios as well as TDI designed shooting instruction involving steel plates.  To top the live fire courses off TDI instructors put participants through a live fire house with soft air pistols and simulated two real-work shooting situations, leaving the student to react with no prior guidance.  Many people continue to comment on how well this taught them how much more training they wish to pursue.  All proceeds went to OFCC's Political Action Committee.

In our discussion forums, at OhioCCWForums.org, the discussion continues and participants seemed to have a great time.  Numerous photos of the event can be found at http://gallery.ohioccw.org -- and if you took some you'd like to contribute to our gallery please get in touch with us.  If you missed this shoot or TDI is a little bit too far for you to travel (I drove 4.5 hours each way) then watch this website for possible future shoots this year.  If you're looking for top-notch professional training that you can drive to I strongly and emphatically endorse TDI.  Over the past nine years I've been to TDI on numerous occasions, racking up well over forty-eight hours of professional handgun training.  The instruction is priceless (and worth every single penny).  For their up coming schedule of classes see their website above.

A special thanks goes out to the people who showed up Saturday and set the event up and then ran it all day Sunday.  We could not have done this without you and you contributions to the cause are greatly appreciated.
