Difference Between IPSC and IDPA? - Page 2

Andrew Wyatt · September 20, 2002, 03:01 PM

It's primarily a matter of approach. If you wanted to, you could use good tactics and shoot your carry gun in IPSC and get in some good practice.

you could also have a gun solely for IDPA shooting and use equipment you wouldn't use for CCW and not learn anything of merit.

Whenever I shoot in any sort of competetion, I Think of the situation the stage is presenting and then use the equipment i'd have in that situation.

for example, If the stage was primarily a rifle stage with some pistol shooting, then i'd have on my rifle gear with a full flap field holster. inclusing the clothes and shoes i wear when I'm rifleshooting.

if the stage was a pistol only stage and was such that it was intended as a CCW stage, then i'd wear my CCW holster and equipment.

I given my mindset, I think i could compete in any sort of shooting and learn from it, since i consider any kind of shooting i do to be training.

Andrew, just a point of clarification. Since you won't be 21 until Dec of 2003, you must be speaking figuratively about your CCW... and handgun ownership here in CA.

Tapper - welcome! Excellent first post.

I'm sitting here sort-of bemused but rather turned off, watching the various camps piss on each other.

Ug.

9X45: well, yeah. I probably should have put that in there.

sven,

I know what you mean.
We haven't heard back from SteveW13. I suspect all the "My match is better than your match." mudslinging and nonsense ran him off and we have lost a shooter.
