their both fun. one has more rules and one has less equipment choices. We stress that we dont fumble a reload, or that our dont guns puke, or missing the timing on a clamshell. it is far different when shots are fired at you the adrenal glands take over your body, the shots sound like whispers, and you have tunnel vision, as you take REAL hard cover. I wouldn't consider either SPORT any means of tactical or SD Training in real world scenarios. as their is no buzzer in real life, and there is no RO to ride me. I dont conceal under a vest. I think their hokey. Enjoy whichever you like, but the biggest arguments and figts over scoring and equipment was always a bunch of whinin IDPA'ers. Mall Ninjas of the Shooting Sports! I just want to shoot big stages pedal to the metal and not argue Tactics all day until I'm blue in the face or sick from hearing other know it alls yell at eachother. It wont stop me from shooting that weekend if theres no USPSA or Steel match, I just gotta shoot ESP and hope to god I dont get on a whiny squad!

Sounds like you need to find another IDPA club. We have five in my area, and have yet to hear any tactical whining. There's no room for tactics when you have rule book.

maybe
Rick its usually LE that are the biggest whiners! (at the IDPA club) USPSA, everyone is just so happy unless their having tech difficulties. the worst day at a match is better than the best day at work, so I'll shoot whatever is happenin. Everybody should if they have the time and the desire. I shoot to be a good shooter, and I shoot really nice guns that make me feel cool! Aside from that, my biggest competition is me.

Ah, the infamous IDPA rules lawyer. I will agree that the structure of IDPA does kind of lend itself to this activity, but to argue that it's unique to IDPA is, uh, kind of insane, since you'll get rules lawyers in every sport, whether or not it's a pistol sport.
I agree with Rick, it does sound like you need to find another club. Also, about this: Quote:

agreed
Hilarious! I said I'd shoot IDPA if their wasnt a USPSA or Steel match to shoot. As long as I'm shooting eh? I wasn't trying to ruffle feathers. I was just stating an opinion and we all know what they smell like...

Both games give valuable trigger time. The main difference is the mentality. USPSA shooters know it is a game, and play it as such. IDPA shooters think it's real, or tactical trainning. But, don't get me wrong both are valuable time to practice and hone YOUR skills. Take every opportunity to shoot and practice. Both sets of shooters are good people, and are willing to share their sport with you.

good points
While I take gun safety and SD pretty seriously, I know when walking on to either COF that is just a competitive game. When we all acknowledge that aspect, may all IDPA vs USPSA bickering end!
Who Knows, somewhere down the line USPSA might buy IDPA and we can all shoot together in harmony! |
