Bonfa Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hello, I am not a new shooter, but new to practical shooting. I started in October last year, by joining an active club shooting IPSC. I so far shot about 30 matches, mostly level 1, some level 2 and one level 3 in Production, getting DQ three times (finger on trigger), winning a stage once in a club match, and generally ending up in a 50-60% overall division position. Most importantly: having great fun and enjoying the company! After reading a lot of posts on this forum, it is now time to post something, so here we go! DVC all!

elguapo Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Dang; thirty matches, three DQs, and a stage win in six months over winter. You've been busy! Well done. Better intro that most of the American noobs that come here say "hi I've been shooting for 20 years and want to try IPSC" then never do s#!t..... PS when an American says "I've been shooting for X years" most of the time that means "I've had a bunch of guns for X years and I've shot maybe 100 rounds through all of them combined".

Bonfa Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 LoL, all indoors I think the stage designers are incredibly talented! Summer is short and gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in Europe gun ownership is tightly regulated, so if and once you get a gun after much red tape, then you'll probably be more motivated to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can buy as many guns as we want, as often as we want, and for no reason other than we want them. So here there's really not much incentive, other than self motivation, to train or compete with them. Edited April 11, 2019 by elguapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
