Hmm. I guess as a way to claim reality, the new rules outlaw some really fun things like the Texas star. Besides missing out on the fun, for the clubs the equipment & storage facilities represent a pretty good investment.

I wonder if you will start to see occasional "IDPA like" matches or maybe separately scored stages so folks can still shoot some of the challenging toys?

There are already some. It's called USPSA. Come to the dark side. We have cookies.

And well defined, easily enforceable, non-subjective rules, and texas stars and polish plate racks, and super fun freestyle shooting.

Even better, almost no one prefaces a statement with "Well, in a real gunfight..."

Personally I think there is a lot to be said for shooting whichever is closest (including steels).

Seems like IDPA had to go to weird rules because they couldn't compete with USPSA on weird scoring

USPSA scoring is the same as IDPA.......
Get good hits as fast as you can

Just shoot and have fun

WTF? Where are MY cookies? I want cookies. No one ever gave me cookies when I came to the darkside. All I got was this better rule book, responsive leadership, and freestyle shooting...

[mumbling] I want my cookies. they better be chocolate chip. not oatmeal, I hate oatmeal. been doing this for years and never got a damn cookie. [/mumbling]

I agree
I haven't seen a cookie in 4 years, WTF
Well that's not true there were cookies for the state match set up crew a few years ago.
We could use more cookies though

 

[Rob377]

Since I'm co-MD-ing, there will be cookies at ACC next month.

Just sayin'

I won't even make you buy a membership to enjoy the shooting and cookies....unlike SOME people.

Looks like a great month to make my first ACC match this year...Cookies! I'm there

I think this thing has been thread jacked by USPSA cookie monsters. Resume normal programming

If this were a real gunfight, there would be cookies only for the winner.

In a real gunfight, pastries and other baked goods will get you killed.

This is why you conceal them in your fishing vest.

 

[Rob377]

So that's what all the pockets are for!

Nuh uh. You offer the bad guy a tasty pastry and when he reaches to accept the delicious baked good you can jerk him off balance by moving it just out of reach until he tips over. He'll have a ND into his own femoral artery and you can just walk away without firing a shot.

That's how real pastry/gun fights work. I read it in a blog written by a guy who heard it at the barbershop from the guy who read it in a vaguely remembered magazine article about a poorly done translation from a Russian study done on why pastry chefs rarely fire their weapons.

I take it the bad guy didn't have a manual safety. Serves him right!
