It was a Blast, no pun intended. The veterans were very helpful and made the experience one to remember. My friend/host was a huge help, Steve had good knowledge of what was happening and was glad to have me there.

I learned early that my 380 was not allowed and I only had 80 rounds for my 9mm. The last stage I borrowed a few bullets and shot very well. The SO (safety officer) said I could shoot again since the targets had not been pasted, since I was out of ammo, and late for an appointment, I kindly thanked them for a wonderful experience. The SO was very friendly and encouraged me to return another day.

The event drew a huge crowd, much more than anticipated, so the waiting and confusion was a slight damper, but as a newbie, I really didn't notice.

I highly recommend shooting in an IDPA event to everyone serious about your handgun and learning to use it properly.
