making it seem that the IDPA matches are set up for real life scenarios.
IDPA is as real life as Call of Duty or any of the other shooter games people play on their XBox.

IDPA is does not train you for real life scenarios, it trains you to shoot card board targets that will never shoot back at you.

If you want training, go to a real shooting class taught by a reputable instructor and practice what they tell you. If you want to be the fastest cardboard blaster around, shoot IDPA every week.

I don't have anything against practical pistol matches. I think they are a lot of fun, but they are a game. No crack-head-stickup-kid will ever have you stand in a square painted on the ground and hold up a buzzer and ask "Shooter ready?"
