That's not a BUG, that's a 'bug out' gun...
So it's Harvard the 28th and WPRC the 29th. Good deal.

No one keeping up with my thread?! What's coming up in IDPA???!

If you know of something that is not on the calendar, please let me know and I will make sure it gets added.
That is really nice. Where do you usually shoot out of? Some more here:

I'm a member of Nashua Fish & Game (bullseye pistol and closest to home) and Purgatory Falls Fish & Game (metallic silhouette).
I shoot knockdown and static steel wherever I can find a match. I try to make it to Mass Rifle for their monthly matches, I will be shooting the PPC match at Mystic Valley Friday night and the USPSA match at Boston Gun Club on Sunday.
I've only been shooting since May after about a 30 year layoff. I'm enjoying myself and learn something new at every match I shoot. I'm not competitive yet, but that doesn't matter.

What happened to their IDPA? They were known for great matches.
Nashua hasn't had an Action Pistol program for a few years. There is no governor for the Action Ranges and doesn't appear to anyone willing to take on the job.
The High Power Rifle folks are in control of the club and every one of them is afraid of a riccochet leaving the property, which is a valid concern. But the Action Range is backed up by an 80 foot high hill (imagine the Cowboy Ranges at Harvard). Funny how those concerns go away when you look at the High Power Range, it's the only blue sky range on the property.

I'm more an IDPA kinda guy, but might have to give USPSA a try some day.
All very strange. They were known for their IDPA when I first got into it, then poof, they were gone. It figures the one club I belong to (Braintree) has no IDPA, and the one outdoor range they had that could have been dedicated to that use was turned into a target range. Oh well....

From my limited experience. USPSA is a lot like IDPA without the cover garment and flashlight.
Those are some biggies. They also allow "race" guns with optics, comps, hi capacity mags in some divisions. Speed reloads (one of my favorites!) and no required mag capacity at start. They have fault lines and boxes. The targets are different. Scoring is way different, they allow major/minor in some divisions. Single stages up to 30 rounds. Can use more than two mag pouches in all divisions. More shooting in the open, no tactical priority.... and more.
However they are both fun action shooting sports- I truly enjoy both! It's just tricky to go back and forth sometimes. Spead reloads in IDPA will cost you some time!

Sounds like a True USPSA shooter there... HAHA
Both games are fun and have different strengths and weaknesses. I prefer the higher round count and fancy guns so USPSA is my favorite but both games are fun. IDPA might be better for newer shooters as most stages are easier to figure out esp. with the lower round counts.

The Nashua group is alive and well and are at Pelham now. They put on a great match.

I find for me and my chosen division, USPSA tests my math skills too and I like that. Last week it challenged my listening skills which failed but that is another story. I was in IDPA mode due to my match this week but back to USPSA Sunday 
Hey Will, get in touch with Kimmie here and see if there is a slot left for the Sunday match. Dorchester should be close for you.

I find the holster rules objectionable in IDPA. I carried a pistol 24/7 for many years and opted for a rig that gave me a solid grip on the draw, but sacrificed a little concealability. The holsters mandated by IDPA hold the gun too close to the body for me to get the grip I need. A long time ago I chose to sacrifice a little concealability for a better grip on the draw. I find it rather humorous to learn at this late date that my daily carry rig isn't "practical".
