IDPA this Saturday 9/28 @ ARC Whos going? Want to go?

[breakingcontact]

Im planning on making the Texas Tactical IDPA shoot this weekend. Any of you IDPA guys going or anyone wanting to try for the first time.

Hit me up if you want to squad together. Im no expert but i can show you the ropes if its your first shoot.

 

[SIG_Fiend]

I think I should be able to make this one.

Trying to decide if i want to shoot my Shield or be somewhat competitive and shoot a larger gun.

Hmmm possibly, since the multigun match doesn't appear to be getting a reschedule. Only thing I wonder about is if my factory 124gr (and for that matter my 124gr handloads) meet IDPA power factor....or am I thinking of USPSA?

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Dude, I want show up in flip flops and run a Lorcin, Cobra, or other cheapo throwdown gun. It would be hilarious to run circles around people with some crappy $100 or less gun.

Rushthezeppelin, don't worry about your ammo, it's fine. Things are pretty lax with Texas Tactical. There's no chrono'ing of ammo or anything like that. Heck, onetime I ran my 147gr hand loads with the bare minimum of Blue Dot. Basically had a pump action Glock with the recoil of a .22. LOL

Hmm. I think I will be sitting in my stand waiting (okay...more like hoping) to shoot me a doe while you guys are getting started!!!

 

[rushthezeppelin]

Is concealment garment a requirement?

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Since it's getting cooler, probably.

 

[rushthezeppelin]

One last thing, whats brass pickup policy?

 

[Randman]

I may try to get out tomorrow, if I can drag my arse out of bed in time!

You have to pick up your brass. In order to get everyone through usally 4-5 guys pick up brass together.

Glad to meet you guys! Sorry i had to run after the match but ill be out there again soon. Really enjoyed shooting today. Looking forward to seeing the results.

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Good seeing you guys again. Pretty decent day at the range. On one stage I got beat by 2 seconds by our SO who was shooting a Smith Model 19 revolver that was 1 year older than me! LOL

 

[rushthezeppelin]

That was a blast. I learned a TON and even surprised myself a bit with my accuracy. Just need to work on procedure for stages as I made a few mess ups on not staying in cover and such. But I hit all but one BG and not a single GG so I think thats pretty good in of itself : ) Thnx for the scoring, help and advice Sig.

Edit: Did I mention I fired 76 rounds and came home with nearly 300 brass to load

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Dude, you did a great job for being your first time! EVERYONE has the "jitters" at first. It'll take going to a few matches to start getting used to the timer, the pressure it puts you under, learning to visualize and mentally "plan" your run beforehand, etc. Like I said, though, most people have a lot of problems with accuracy under that pressure, and you had good accuracy, so you're off on the right foot.

Here's the scores:

It is all about maintaining good accuracy while shooting faster. I shot one stage where i only got charged 1 point but it took me 30+ seconds to do it.

 

[rushthezeppelin]

BTW Sig, grats on topping the SSP Division....and you were complaining that you hadn't shot in 4 months lol.

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Thanks.

 

[breakingcontact]

Nice work!

@breakingcontact I'd give it a shot. I'm not the best with a pistol, and I barely know what IDPA is, but like I said, I'd give it a shot.
