As some may recall I’ve been planning and practicing to try an IDPA pistol match. Finally got there today.
About 40 other people there shooting. Mostly retired as one might expect on a wed morning.
Very impressed with the safety focus. There are also various procedural rules but my goal was to worry about safety rules and not get DQd. I managed that and thanks in large part to Sigs fantastic RX red dot I finished 29/42 overall. Only had two penalties over five scenarios or courses of fire. One was a ‘finger’ where I got too close to the trigger during a transition (tricky one where you go from cover to laying prone behind barrels and shooting to the left) and another for reloading outside of cover.
Really can’t overstate how welcoming everyone was and how much they did to lower my stress level. Had a guy more or less shadow me throughout and point out all kinds of helpful hints.
If you’re thinking about getting into action shooting but afraid to be the noob I can tell you these folks really are happy to bring new shooters into the sport.
