1st IDPA Match - WOW!
« on: May 25, 2013, 05:36:32 PM »
Participated in my first IDPA match today. My buddy & I thought it was just going to be a classifier but we were surprised to find out we were shooting the complete 5 stage match.

All I can say was What Fun! I think I am hooked! :D   8) :D

I will...jus wish I had some single mag pouches...i'll just throw both my doubles on my speed belt and roll.  I have been practicing ALOT...don't have a timer, but i'm pretty confident my Bill Drills are running at or under 3.5 sec.  BTW, how'd you shoot?

They will email the results - Hope soon!
I think I did pretty good! My one clear round was the most difficult - started inside a pickup truck - COOL!

I recently found an iPhone timer app by SureFire called ShotTimer. I've been using to set par time when dry firing at home. I don't know how well it detects actual shots though. It's free.

Riptide, NOW you've done it!!    Your goose is cooked.  Your grass mowing will have to wait 'til next weekend when there's no matches.
Think up good answers for your significant other's "WHAT, AGAIN?? 

A good feeling isn't it!  ;) 8)

We've been in a drought for two years.  This week TWO matches, one today and another tomorrow were "rained out"--flooding, cars washed away .  :o  Sure hope the mess gets cleared up before next weeks 3-gun shoot.   ;)

Be SURE to try a USPSA match when you get the chance.

1SOW - You are Soooo right! Great Fun. Grass can wait - NOT - already cut 5 times this month. Maybe I can buy one of those commercial mowers to get it done in 1/3 the time.

I have a feeling I will wake up early thinking of the match (Also to start the smoker & biscuit)

USPSA??? Now I have to research more - man you guys are a pain in my a_ _! You ARE going to get me in trouble with my wife! :P

Results posted today and I think I did fairly good for my first ever match of any kind.
Finished 37th out of 74. Not bad - top 50% (I am an optimist  ;D)

As far as accuracy I tied for 5th! Very happy here  :D :D

Did you go to lower providence ? With the onset of summer (HVAC tech) I find myself working a ton more, which is good being I'm building a high end AR-15. 1-sow, we're you caught up in the flooding I have been seeing on the news?

Yup - Nice place - great setup.
Looks like you will be busy the next few days here with 3 days in the 90's!  :-\

I'm northeast of S.A., and on higher ground.  If the S.A. Tower of the Americas floods out, I'll start to have problems here.
Some roads nearby were closed at low-water crossings, but not a problem.
Thanks.
