Nov Classifier IDPA When I first starting shooting IDPA 3 years ago, I had no idea I would forge lifelong friendships and learn from the best shooters in the world. It has been an emotional ride filled with character building moments.
I owe all of my success to everyone I've met on the range. I look forward to many more years of competition and fellowship. I never dreamed I would be competitive in anything, much less a shooting sport. When I became licensed to carry, my husband John, insisted that I train before I started actually carrying a firearm. I found a female instructor to work with me and once I started hitting bullseye, I was hooked and wanted more.
I quickly became bored just standing shooting at a target. This year I was bumped to Expert so now it's a race with my husband on who will be the next Master, since Ashton has already beat us both! After spending What started out as a loose hobby for me has turned into a passion. I've now competed in matches in 15 different states and made life long friends along the way.
IDPA has allowed me to travel to new places and meet new people, talking about shooting sports and promoting 2nd Amendment rights along the way. I've made some new friends, and reconnected with some old friends that I had no idea were shooting sports enthusiasts. Practically everyone I've met has been willing to help me along the way, regardless of whether I'm shooting my local match, or shooting a Major with other people.
Even the people that I'm trying to "beat" will sit at the back of the bay and compare notes about how best to shoot a stage.
I enjoy shooting IDPA because it's a unique opportunity to build skills under pressure. IDPA has also helped me to really find the right pistols for myself for both carry and competition, instead of just going with what I thought I liked in the store. It's made me a more skilled and confident shooter, and along the way I've made some amazing friends.
I was originally drawn to IDPA at an affiliated club in my area. I was always interested in the skill of SAFE high speed pistol shooting and gun handling.
As an athlete, my traditional sports faded away and IDPA filled my competitive urge along with feeding my long time interest in action shooting. I use the sport to introduce others to competitive handgun shooting. IDPA is an easy pathway to graduate from a casual shooter into a more proficient and safer gun owner. Plus, everyone finds it a lot more fun than static target shooting.
A purchase of a handgun provides virtually all equipment needed to shoot a match, so it's easy to get started. IDPA flourishes at the local club level and I utilize the general stress free environment of IDPA club matches to introduce casual gun owners to the world of competitive action shooting. Many get hooked, and in the process, we have more responsible, skilled, and safer gun owners. Jan 29, Postal Match Update — Jan.
