yes, i think this is were it all started too, and just snowballed down hill. but this isn't that uncommon. have you ever heard skeet shooter and trap shooters talk trash about each other?
at my club when IDPA came about there was a good following. they would have matches twice a month, now they have a match every other month. they have no clear leadership or worker bees. when they do have a match, they use all the IPSC props, poppers, timers, etc, except targets & score sheets. they never build props or any thing else that would benift themselves or IPSC. one guy said it should be the IPSC guy should do their scoring for them. i about fell out.
one other thing that bothers me is that IDPA requires membership to even shoot a club match. the USPSA doesn't.
