Me so happy with the ne DDA Race Master Holster
We had to shoot 10 stage today and we did and we was in good time, shot 5 stage and went for lunch and went back again and shot 5 stage, every think was going well until we came to stage 19 a medium course of 16 rounds and 3 mini popper started holding the ax with both hands, on signal FOFS.

I shot the first 4 target, turn to the left site and shot one target, I was little to fast and find out I got a miss, I run back and jump into the RO and got a reshot, he told me later I should been DQ for breaking the 90 * but I did not break it.Then we come to stage 22 a short course 9 round stage with 2 target and 5 popper, laying on you back on the bed, strong hand is tied to the bed, gun loaded on table, on signal FOFS.
'Stage 22 and bed time
But but, I was told it’s a weak hand shooting, I ask was its say on the briefing, because the RO say when shooting I cannot use my shooting hand to support on the window frame, and I told it doesn’t say so in the briefing, and he told me for the second time also yesterday on another stage, if I tell it is so then the shooter have to follow my order, and I told him he cannot make his own rules, only the RM can change the briefing , so call the President of IROA and the RM Milan about the problem, and I was right, FOFS then you can do whatever you want.
Some of all the stage
