Today is my birthday, so to treat myself I've decided to start shooting IDPA.

The next local match is on Saturday the 25th.

I'm planning on using a Springfield loaded model (my CCW), and bringing 5 or 6 magazines. I'll be using a Fobus paddle holster. (It is on the approved list). The ammo is 200 gr. SWC over 5 grains of bullseye. 100% in my gun over about 1000 rounds. I'll make sure I bring eye & ear protection, & a hat for the sun.

Am I forgetting anything?

Any words of wisdom?

I'm excited. I have never competed in anything gun related before. So it should be interesting to see just how bad I get whooped up on.
