Over time I've had some people, and people I respect here, say to me that the Ranges, Competition & Training forum was a bit over-saturated with listings from training classes and it crowded out other kinds of posts there. For a long time, I must admit I replied to them with something like (I'm paraphrasing here), "I see your point. You're not wrong, but those are vendors who help the site exist, and we DO always want to encourage training, and so on and so forth.. so I'm not sure what the best solution might be". So, I simply took no action and ignored the issue. (bad HEX)
This time though, when it was brought up to me (again) by a couple of folks, I decided to at least give something a try.
(EDIT: With an assist from @dsdmmat , since he was prodding me to do something about it most of anyone and helped talk it out with me)
So.. Now you'll find there are two separate forums; one that is Ranges, Competition, & Shooting , And one that is all things related to Training Classes / Training.
Listings for training classes will still be in the training section, and hopefully it will still include other related discussions, reviews, all that stuff. It's just that now discussion of ranges, places to shoot, competitions, and just days out shooting will have a.. cleaner place for just those things.
We always kind of try to keep separate forums down to as few as are necessary, for various good reasons, but in this case it seems like it was the right thing to do to split up the categories.
