Not sure how well the link works, but I'll fix it later when I'm not on my phone.
I wish I got into this sooner, it was a ton of fun and challenging too!






I look forward to going again!

Very nice! I got into IDPA last June and have been hooked since. Though I haven't been to a match since September. Need to get back out there.
 
I need to make sure I check my point of aim with the camera anytime I move it. Those last three videos were compromised a bit...

Very cool, thanks for sharing. On the one hand, I'm interested in trying this. On the other hand, I'm thinking I would miss every target [hmmm]

I'm not great by any stretch of the imagination but slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
I did worse on the stages I rushed, and excellent (relatively) on the ones I took my time on.
Besides you won't know how good you are until you try!
 
IDPA is awesome fun. So's USPSA. And the camera lets you look at all your mistakes, over and over again. That's why I don't have one.
 
I shot an IDPA intro a couple of years ago at Harvard and it was an outstanding day. I wish I had more time to commit to it the last few years but I don't. Just can't bring myself into getting into it only half assed.

It seems like my stress level was lower when I was involved in weekly competitive shooting.
 
I just ran my first IDPA as well at the Woburn Sportsmen's Club. Everyone was great giving the newbie advice and encouragement with the stages and rules. It was a great way to get a feel for the discipline and training needed to compete. Didn't score well but had a BLAST! Can't wait to get back and make a run having a little more understanding. Love the mental part of each stage.
