Ok, I’m obviously a super Newbie to shooting sports so this question may seem foolish to some but here it goes. What is the difference between the different shooting sports between IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, GLOCK shooting Sports, Steel Challenge, etc. And are there any that would be more Newbie friendly and more geared toward using real world scenarios and gear.
I’m really not interested in shooting with a 3,000 dollar race gun at this time. Maybe down the road I will but for right now I’m interested in shooting in more realistic situations with a stock or near stock firearm I am likely to carry in real life.
I live in El Paso TX so I will need to know if there are any that are more prevalent in this area as well if that’s the case. Any advice or recommendations on which entity I should be leaning toward would be appreciated.
