TCGC is great - if you bother to get Action Range certified. Takes about three half-days. Orientation day + training + enter one match. I became a member and was certified to be on the Action Range within a month.
You must enter a match. Sign in, pay $15 I believe. I did the Police Practical Combat (PPC) event. It is low pressure. Your score doesn't matter. Shoot a man size target at 7 yards, then 15/21 yards standing, sitting, prone. The only one that gave me a little trouble is when you are standing at 21 yards around a barricade, six of the shots must be off-handed (left handed). You rinse/repeat 2-3x times as time allows. Most of the time is spent watching others.
It only took about 1 1/2 hours and the person supervising the event gives you your Action Range gold sticker and you are done. Make sure you don't sign up as a guest because if you do you won't get an Action Range sticker. Plus as a guest it is actually harder since they assign someone to breathe down your neck watching for any errors that could disqualify you. (breaking 180, finger on trigger when not ready to shoot, aiming above the berm).
The biggest mistake people were making was pointing their gun up when transitioning left/right around the obstacle (plywood target stand) vs just pulling their gun into their chest when moving and keeping their gun level to the targets.
It is easy. There was an 80-something older gentleman shooting as well as a couple young girls. At least a third of the people appeared to be there for their first event.
