38_super: Thanks for the info, but I'm fine with shooting fundamentals. I was just looking for insight related specifically to IDPA-specific shooting.

I went to the normal shoot last night and concentrated in the first stage on developing a good sight picture for all shots. The second stage I concentrated less on a "perfect" sight picture and reducing my double-tap time.

Interestingly enough, my second stage went MUCH better than my first, I was actually competitve with many of the shooters. Since I'm already a pretty decent range shooter I think I may need to refine my fast aiming techniques just a bit more, but work primarily on moving smoothly from target to target. Finding that right balance is not as easy as it looks I guess.
