Looking at the scores, I think you shot very well, second time, or not. :tiphat:

And, I know what you mean about becoming familiar enough with the routine of IDPA to be able to concentrate on the shooting. On the second stage, where we had to shoot 6 targets -
1. Near to far
2. Alternating right side /left side
3. 3 Strings
-1 Freestyle
-1 Strong hand
-1 Weak hand
I somehow mentally added one more requirement - I thought they all had to be head shots as well. :roll: Nothing like making things harder than they have to be.

Oh, well. Still had a great time, and am enjoying getting to know some of the folks out there.
Ouch! That one was hard enough as it was!

I got confused on the dogs. I didn't shoot them in order, and just kept going back and forth. I didn't keep track of which target I had shot already, so I was all over the place. It was pretty funny to watch because I shot way too many rounds as a result. He finally asked, "Done yet?" :)

Re: IDPA Tonight... it's gonna be cold!

Got back. Good to meet you Skub!

It was a fun. It was only 4 stages because of the cold and we didn't draw either, so we could stay bundled up.
All in all, the cold never was a factor for me. I stayed warm and had fun. I ended up shooting fairly well. Better than I thought I did when I got to see the other scores.

Lots of fun. Good folks. Fun venue. Good practice.

For my 2nd time, I liked it. I am looking forward to being more familiar with all the stage types so I can think about shooting as opposed to what I'm supposed to do on each stage. hehe

Planning on being there. Will look for you.
Cool! I'll be there. I may be hard to see because I'll be in a big, heavy, camo jacket. :)
I'll be wearing a "BU" cap.

IDPA Tonight... it's gonna be cold!

So, I'm going to my 2nd IDPA shoot tonight. I'm not letting the temperature keep me away. Hand warmers and gloves plus a heavy coat.
Anyone else coming? :)


This got me to thinking... are there shooting gloves ideal for handguns? I don't plan on purchasing them now (if ever), but curious if anyone has found any or has any they wear?
