      Canceling North Porter's November 2014 IDPA match

      Going to have to pull the plug on the North Porter IDPA match scheduled for Sunday the 16th. Some lake effect snow and sub-freezing temps suggest taking the day off. We're going to a catch-as-catch-can system: If good weather comes along, we'll take advantage and schedule on short notice. It...

      A note from the Match Director... This features a stage by Indiana's great stage designer, "Slacker" Reilly. Come on up and enjoy the subtlety and graciousness of The Outstanding One. ("O O")

      NPCCC USPSA April 1

      Oh, on occasion... Incidentally, we actually had 68 signups, a new club record turnout for USPSA. Thanks to everyone for coming out, and especially for helping run this big crowd through all six stages within a reasonable amount of time. Now, if only that cranky old timer on Stage Five had been...

      3rd time pistol shooting ~ 1st time competitor at IDPA

      It so happens that Yours Truly was the range officer (called a "safety officer" in IDPA) in these vids. Juan actually did an excellent job. We have first-timers go without the required concealment garment to reduce the brainpower load a little and we coach as needed just to get them going at...

      Single Stack Nationals

      One of my regular cohorts went after spending a couple of years of intensive and focused practice and exclusively single stack shooting. I got an (excited) text that she was in a squad with winner Rob Leatham and fourth-place Todd Jarrett, two of the five grand masters in the event. That must...

      Getting non-competitors into the shooting sports

      I have an incredibly long and boring blog post on exactly this topic, but I'll give you the (slightly) shorter version. I run USPSA, IDPA, ICORE, steel, and outlaw multigun matches. I'm an NROI range officer and have run hundreds and hundreds of shooters though hundreds and hundreds of stages...

      Most common IDPA gun?

      Focus, skill, experience, and intelligent practice beat superior equipment any day, in IDPA.

      Most common IDPA gun?

      As someone who puts on IDPA matches, and who SOs at many, many others, I'll say I see Glock 17s most of all. The above poster is right about Smiths: M&P 9s. Sig 9s and Kimber .45s would follow those.
