anyone else doing this? I started doing the monthly matches at my club, thinking it would be a good opportunity to work with what I carry daily.

Turns out to be a lot of fun, and the stress of competition is good for me. Drawing from concealment, reloading, etc are real life skills.

speed and accuracy are both tested.

I look forward to the upcoming two-gun matches we'll be having (pistol/rifle and pistol/shotgun).

IDPA is a lot of fun, just wish there was a club less than a two hour drive from my home. Then I could get out and embarrass myself more often...

Rick,

Having seen you shoot many times, I really don't think you'll ever embarrass yourself with a carry gun!!!!

You do just fine with those ... and amazingly well with a rifle! Damned hard to compete with a guy who can see

Mike,
Thanks
I've got to get out and shoot pistol a bit more after we get back from RSA. Those .45 projectiles are much appreciated and will get put to good use.

IDPA, or IPSC is highly recommended.

Great for gun handling training.

Esecially if you use your carry equipment.

Hell! Shoot 'em ALL IDPA, IPSC, Bullseye, Silhouette, etc. etc.

You can learn something from ALL of them and have fun at the same time!

Yep, i've shootin IDPA for years. Very good to keep you sharp. I don't try to keep up with the young guys, their feet are just to damn fast. But i still enjoy it greatly.
