chirpy Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 FWIW Finally heard from IDPA HQ (Robert Ray) and it is illegal per P. 4 under "Purposes of IDPA" and P. 8 C1 "Competition IDPA Rules". As others have said...use it for practice. Still waiting to hear from USPSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Here it is...... Richard, I am afraid that you are correct. This product would not be legal for use in IDPA under the purposes of IDPA on page 4 of the rule book and on page 8 C1, Competition rules. On their website they make these statements; Advantages • Reduces Recoil Stress on Wrist and Elbow • Reduces Recovery Time Between Shots ( Split Times) • Reduces Muscle Fatigue • Reduced Perceived Recoil The two things that get them are point 2 and 4. The other two would not really be an issue. Thank you, Robert Ray International Defensive Pistol Association 870-545-3886 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I really wish we could leave the Us and Them... IDPA thing out of threads. They are fellow shooters... I don't give a damn what they shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
