Badluck2 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So I plan on shooting some IDPA matches locally in my area next summer . I see that they have let optics in to the sport.

In this day and age of instant digital publishing there's zero excuse to not incorporate them in the main rulebook from the very beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Open Division, guns are pretty much equivalent to L10, SS, Production, and CO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the equipment advantage would not be there in IDPA for the most part. ESP and CO are the exceptions IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 There is no official overall champion trophy, but who can say he doesn't look at the Practiscore overall standings? What is the order at a USPSA merchandise prize table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
