That's because you can't find the mag in one of the 18 pockets that you keep stuff in.

Well we are almost at 300 posts in this thread.
Let me try and remember this:
IDPA rules are stupid like the people who run the organization.
USPSA will get you killed on the streets
USPSA rule changes suck
Revolvers suck
Master IDPA = B class USPSA
IDPA has stupid forms they REQUIRE you to sign before you can shoot
IDPA you can't be a member and say IDPA sucks even if you think it does
People in charge of IDPA are idiots
People in charge of USPSA are idiots
Revolver rule change has destroyed USPSA and IDPA
People have no trouble with smart phones and computers and the internet yet can't or won't do kindle scoring
Suppressors in 3 gun?
Knee pads rule in IDPA if hidden
Pants rip on the range sometime

I'm sure I missed quite a few.
Epic thread
Man this weather needs to break people have spent to much time cooped up this winter.
I think I'm going to Rockcastle Sat. and blow off some cobwebs.

The OP started this thread to see if he could get Hoosiers fired up. Mission success, he can report back to the doodie forum that it indeed got A LOT of discussion going

Thanks guys, couldn't have done it without you!

It would have been more interesting had you IDPA guys not signed the nuthugger SO oath and could speak freely, though.

You didn't know that?
That is why it is all rainbows and puppy dog kisses, but then a real ***** and impossible to figure out.

In the divorce, Bill got Wilson Combat and kept his ranch in South Africa.

The little woman got IDPA.

I should have used his lawyer.

Really? Did not know that. Never thought of somebody owning IDPA. Of course I dont shoot IDPA. I might have to research that history one evening.

Wonder if that the reason for the required membership after the first match in IDPA vs no membership requirement to shoot local matches in USPSA?

 

[BillD]

That was in effect long before the divorce

When I first got into USPSA, a smart fellow "coached" me into supporting the clubs with my $ over supporting USPSA.

It has always been a for profit organization back when Bill Wilson started it.

Not only did she get IDPA she took the settlement and started Nighthawk Custom and took a bunch of long time Wilson employees with her

I am a big club supporter. I do not belong to USPSA.

Again new interesting information. I was aware that Nighthawk was formed around former Wilson employees.

 

[Rob377]

Nighthawk has been around longer than that, haven't they?

Not bad as it was though. I had no idea that USPSA folks were so fixated and attentive when it comes to IDPA. It is flattering but now I understand why Joyce wants us to set a good example.

About as fixated as you are on USPSA shooters' colorful shirts, I guess.
