    Drats! Understandable, but disappointing nonetheless. Oh well, such is life. No doubt it'll happen eventually, and maybe with greater participation next time.

    Shot my first match today. I had a lot of fun, despite getting worse and worse at hitting a target throughout each stage. I have a lot to work on. I will definitely be attending more of these. Thanks very much to everyone who volunteers their time to put these on.

    Glad you enjoyed the match; shooting during warmer weather is even better.

    Yes, IDPA matches are a definite learning experience; keep going and you'll improve. Learn from your mistakes, and those of others.

    I've found that my shooting also deteriorates as the match wears on, especially during really hot weather. I'm not sure what the cure is for that.

    Your first match is always the hardest.

    After that they get much easier. Just getting the guts to come out and try it is the hard part.

    See you next time.

    Thanks, fellas. Looking forward to shooting with you guys frequently in the future, even if Hoser is going to continue to make everyone look bad with a wheel gun.

    Does anyone know what's up with the national IDPA site? I've been trying to join, but the membership section of the site seems to be broken.

    Please print off the National IDPA membership application and bring a completed copy with your check (made out to FRIDPA) to the next match. FRIDPA will submit to IDPA and get a kickback for tape and targets.

    Cheers,
    Mick

    EDIT: I can't seem to find the National IDPA application. The entire "memberships" section of the site is broken and won't load. Is the FRIDPA application sufficient, or do I need the other one?

    I really don't understand why this part of their site is broken and they don't seem to notice. I even sent an email to IDPA about it and never received a reply.
    Hi,

    Here is the National IDPA membership application. Thanks for your support.

    Mick, you're a total BAMF. Thanks, brother! See you in a few weeks.

    Okay, I'm reading all the info on fridpa.com. Hopefully the weather holds up and I can shoot my first match!
