I think it is a shame that more ranges don't offer a Steel Challenge match or allow .22lr pistols in a match. The Steel Challene match is a great way to improve gun handling skills and is cheap enough to shoot with a .22 that the whole family maybe could afford to participate. With a .22 it improves all around gun handling, including: trigger control, sight alignment, transitions, grip, stance...well just about everything except the recoil and timing of a major caliber and the draw from holster, which can be practiced at home. (also malfunction clearing drills because sometimes .22s are a little finnicky)sp?

I was looking at some youtube video of the daps tuesday after work matches and it looks like there are no falling targets at least in the videos that I saw. You might send them an email and ask if they would let you shoot the match with a .22 if even if for no score. It would be fun.

I think shooting some matches with a .22 will absolutely help with your IDPA shooting!...but I don't expect any IDPA matches would allow .22s
Good luck
