uh-oh now i'm hooked, first IDPA match

[JohnR]

I'll have to see if there's a USPSA club here and check it out. IDPA is fun and all, but with 130 shooters in 5 bays, we're there for six hours to shoot a cumulative of less than five minutes. That feels like a waste of a day, to me.

I've been to a number of IDPA shoots with that many shooters, but did not spend that much time on the range. Usually done in 2-3 hours if organized properly. Time well spent. Never gone past noon on a morning shoot starting at 9:30am. I've never seen a shoot where things did not move right along very smoothly and in a fun way.

Never shot it, but I'm sure USPSA is a lot of fun too. Different games, that's all. Both fun and great gun handling practice. Certainly some folks like one better than the other for different reasons.
