The concern is not everyone can do it safely, and with a limited staff, it's easier if everyone is carrying the same way. The line is 100 yards long and each shooter is approximately 10 yards from each other. A couple RSOs at each end and an overwatch RSO can watch everyone draw in a safe manner from the 3 or 9 o'clock position. If 20 people are doing 20 different things, many more volunteer eyes are necessary. This is not a training course, but rather a shooting course with some personalized instruction. As a result, there is not time to cover and drill drawing from a holster. We hope everyone has that mastered ahead of time, but if not, the RSOs will make the low ready option available.
If you expect such a disparity in ability, then you should standardize. If all can't draw, then don't let anyone. If you want everyone doing the same thing, it only makes sense. Plus, how do you know the level of ability? A statement by the participant?
Boy I'm not sure how I missed this thread! It came across my Facebook feed just now but I'm too late to the party. Sold out. Hopefully next time. I'd have loved to come to something like this.

There are afternoon tickets still available (morning is indeed sold out, though).
