Gosh that looks like so much fun! I'd like to do that sometime.....(but not when you're around)

JUST KIDDING!

Don't worry, Joe. I really stink at IDPA. I can stand and shoot pretty accurately at small targets, but when I start moving, there's trouble! But I have fun, I'm with my family and I'm practicing my skills!

(Sorry Navy Tech...didn't mean to hijack your thread.)

psshhhh, its MTICops thread! but I am sure he won't mind (i had already hijacked it!!!)...its all about learning and feedback!

Feel free to share this with your daughter. This is a video of my 16 year old niece shooting IDPA for the first time. BTW...she had to skip ballet class to do it.

Hello from the Austin area. Thats my target posted by MTICop...so I figured I should register and join the discussions! longtooth...looking forward to more range time with you and the Missus...that was a LOT of fun, and very educational.

Waiting now for my CHL, and getting more time at the range as I can manage it. LOVING IT!

Welcome and enjoy. I bought my wife a handgun before a ring, lol. She doesn't shoot as well as you do, but she is pretty decent. Her sister and my sister-in-law shoot and they are planning to get together some weekend for girls only range time. Have fun and keep learning.

Thats funny TxDrifter! I am trying to interest my sister and daughter in going to the range with me as well. My daughter is 16 and has expressed ZERO interest in shooting. My 10 year old son is a different animal completely and can't wait to go shoot. Reds in Pflugerville has free gun rental on Mondays for the fairer sex, and I think discounts the range time fees. I have been taking full advantage of that!

Thanks for the info. That is a possiblity.

Welcome aboard young lady. Good shootin. You are easy to instruct & will continue to improve as time goes on.
Glad to have you.

Thank you LT! I went out monday to Ladies Night at Reds Range here in the area...went through 50 rounds. For some reason I was way off...I really need to get the Sig in to see if I can lighten the trigger...that 12.5 lbs. is a killer. I like the accuracy though when things go well...I just think my breathing was off. Normally I keep the shots tight with it, but just a little to the left which I am attributing to the hard trigger...and am hoping that with time and practice my finger will strengthen up a bit. I used MTICops Springfield for the CHL, and that one is sooooo much easier for me! I told him the first time I shot it that I loved the feel...and that has only been reinforced with more use. I love that piece! We will be at the range this weekend at some point so hopefully he can help me with the issues I am having with the P6.

I appreciate the hello and positive feedback!!

Thank you TLynn!!! On both counts! I looked for a "New Users Say Hi Here" thread but ended up just posting out on the general forum. So far soo good! Looking forward to chatting with you, and am glad to try to even up the gender disparity!!!
