I just got back from having a great time at a local IDPA club match, and a shooter was given a flagrant penalty based on rule 5.2.2.C "Not fully engaging all targets as required". The stage had five targets that were to be engaged with three shots each while moving down range. The shooter...
Thanks for posting this! I recently picked up a GoPro myself and have gotten into videoing any stages I can either as a shooter or a Safety Officer. What camera and equipment are you using?
I was at that match this weekend and also took pov footage of each stage. It's cool, but I haven't figured out how to learn anything from the footage. I can't see the hit locations in the footage, or anything that would help me improve. I'm also curious to see if anyone can offer advice or...
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...

I've spent the last year or so using the "run what you brung" philosophy and it has served me well. But it could be better. So I think its time to upgrade my range gear. I am looking at upgrading everything but the gun at this point. I'm talking belt, mag pouches and holster. I'd like to find a...

I have been shooting for about 2 years now and I feel like (and have heard from guys who have been shooting for much longer) I am a pretty good shot (with a pistol especially). I was just wondering if someone could help me with a few questions I have:
1. What should I do to get into...

Once upon a time, there was a little shooter named Goldilocks.
She went to an IDPA match at Wildcat.
Despite the terrible things the wind and humidity were doing to her hair, she found the nerve to shoot the match anyway. Especially because Rhino was not there to shoot the match, and...
