My first pistol match

Be careful, it can be addicting.

You won though right? Thanks again for letting me shoot your stuff today.

Jhood: I bet you can do those mag changes without looking at your mags.

For sure Brother.... and the award for the lowest points goes to... ME

Hell yeah! Jhood was working it out there... I think he was cheating though... He has one of those high speed, hands free, auto reloaders that shoots the magazine into his pistol

Mike did the best of our group on that last stage.

I bet I can sing really well in the shower, too! It is alot different actually being on stage. I've got a LOT of work to do.

Took a minute to recognize you with that Mtn man growth. When they do scenario stages, as madmike mentioned, your game goes up another notch or two.

If the IDPA made you feel like a rookie, you should definitely try the USPSA stuff.

DON'T get him involved in another shooting sport. He's already pissing n moaning about components now.

The look on Mikes face was pretty funny. Introductions, shake hands, crack on him for forgetting ammo and call him to firing line. That "Who? Me?" look.

Deer and headlights... yep.... that sounds about right

I'm glad you guys made it out for the match. If you thought that was fun, wait until you come to a match that has scenario stages. It was fun to see how much fun you were having(I was your SO on stage 3).

Hey Mike! Thanks for being extremely patient with my slow (thought process) ass. Yah.. you saw it... I was having one heck of a time out there.. Thanks again!

Just stop it! Stop it! I see what you and the rest are trying to do

I'm afraid to even pull "USPSA" on youtube right now

Honestly, don't. Get a good 3-5 matches under your belt and then consider alternatives. All trigger time is good time and there are so many forms of competition, one will certainly meet your tastes.

IDPA is certainly the cheapest of the action sports, but it is not the easiest. I just think it is cool to see new people get out to matches and then continue on. We have some top shooters here in CO that started with a CCW course and/or an IDPA match and are now winning higher level matches. The people are generally some of the best as well, but shooters do like to encourage new people to spend more and more on the hobby/obsession.

I'm getting an itch for this.... I'm seeing some of this with my eyes closed

I do plan on trying more of these out... heck, I'm even telling everyone at work (that I know that carries) that they need to check these events out.... good fun all around no doubt.
I certainly need more time behind the trigger.. geez... and that's just about with everything I own
