I know it's probably been asked and discussed before, but hey, I'm fat and lazy, so I ain't gonna go looking for it.
I'm
interested in getting into IDPA competition more for fun than the actual "You're the man now, dog" reasons and I'm wondering what level of commitment is required in terms of funds, gear, time, and outright snobbery (no offense intended, but it's been my experience that those new to any sort of specialized sport are NOT readily accepted as veterans seem to be loathe to allow others to enjoy what they do). I'd like to know about that last issue purely so I can be prepared for interaction.
Sooooooooo... anyone willing to comment? I know many of you aren't from the left coast and have most likely been in it for awhile, but I'd appreciate any objective or subjective analyses you can give.
I will read up about rules and regulations on the IDPA site, but preparing oneself for the experience can't really be done with solely that type of review.
TIA to all!!!
