KentG Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I shot MY first IPSC match today and thanks to Joe and Dave for the pointers and patience. Im gonna finish the season in L10 and I REALLY have this itch for an Edge but I will use this season as a training and research period. Looks like Im gonna have to join the USPSA. I had a great time and not having the IDPA rules was neater than shit! I will not give up IDPA though, it too is something I really enjoy but Im sure the tactical zealots of IDPA will shun me! Fortunatly thats not a big crowd. Im convinced I can serve 2 masters. I just wish I had gotten into the pistol sports years earlier, I didnt know what I was missing. Now for a change of pace I gotta go to a funeral home. Cant wait till the next one, be it IDPA, IPSC, Steel,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Kent, you did great both yesterday and today! By the time you get home, the match results from today's USPSA/IPSC match at ChIPS should be on the Atlantacc.net web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel better when I can take home brass with the red and black markings! Its just that I already noticed that there is much more 40 to have to sort thru at the IPSC than the IDPA to get to gods gift, the 45ACP! When I start shooting/loading the 40SW I may be slightly less biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be yourself. In the end only "God" and you will be the judge. WELCOME! to the first day of the rest of your shooting life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least its no Amerc that you actually pick up by mistake and try to run thru a dillon. Try being the key word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 In the olden days, it was considered the only way to leave the range, you policed it, you picked up your empties and at least some of the inconsiderates that didn't. Now most not only seem to leave their brass, but also the last round that they eject at the end of a COF. Recently I picked up 44 live rounds on the range after a match. Everyone should be thinking what if some one put that major round in a gun that couldn't handle it and pulled the trigger? Yes I know that no one would shoot range rounds. But just suppose youwere on the range with your kids and they dropped some rounds, or you did, you all pick them up and there inthe middle of the pile is an innocent looking round of the same caliber you are shooting. Only problem is you are shooting your steel gun, not your IPSC gun. BAM! Moral of the story, "PLease pick up all your empties, but especially your live rounds, the gun you save could just be your own!"

BillD Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 It's all right Kent. We were going to shun you anyway. You didn't have to start shooting another sport for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Welcome Kent. Three years ago, I made the same journey from IDPA to USPSA, and it's been a fun and wacky ride since.... This sport is like an E-ticket at Disney.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
