Well I didn’t do too bad last night.  There were 6 new shooters that showed up.  Of the six I came in 3rd.   Overall out of 34 people I came in 22nd.  I’m pretty happy about that number being my first time shooting IDPA.  Now that I got some of the nerves out of the way, I now know what I need to do for practice.

It was a really fun time, although with so many shooters there was a hurry and wait period…

Here is my friend on one of the stages last night:

Tonight is it.  My first IDPA match.

Last night I went out to the range for about 45 minutes to try out my new trigger, and good thing I did.  The striker spring was a little weak and that would have not been fun during the match.  Now since I haven’t shot in a while last night was not so great but I’m going forward with tonight and just getting the first match jitters out of the way.

At least I will know what I need to work on and start practicing.  I mean I’m not going to be some expert IDPA shooter overnight that’s for sure.   I just want to do OK or well if you wish..

Well tomorrow night will be my first IDPA match.  I found a local club and a guy who I go to church with that talked me into it.  I have actually been wanting to try this for quite some time now and USPSA.  So I signed up for the new members shooting class 1 hour prior to the match and I think I have all the equipment I will need to see how bad I am for my first match.  I’m not too concerned since I have been shooting for many years, just not in a competition style shoot.

Hopefully Friday I can post another update that won’t be that bad about my first match results.
