Thanks Jeeps and Jerry,
I did notice they arn't very tactical but "ends justify the means" kinda idea were a low time score is higher priority than "proper tactics". Even if I don't join in the fun I'd say the exposure will at the very least make me more well rounded.

ps. Don't worry jeeps, I promice I will not go and drop $4k on a new pistol, i imagine my XD would work just fine as is.
