My first IDPA match last night!

I went to my first IDPA match last night at Larry's Pistol and Pawn in Huntsville, AL. This sport brings a whole new element to pistol shooting! The real-life scenarios, multiple targets, forced reloadings, and blending speed with accuracy is something that I can get into. Last night the match was free, but after that its $10 each time. I used only 25 rounds or so in two scenarios. Next time I think we may turn the lights out and have a night shoot w/ flashlights!
I know that this was only my first time, but even now I would recommend any pistol owner to try this out! Its a great way to learn to really use your weapon.

Just google IDPA.

I was looking into it around MN, not very active.
Trying to figure out everything.
I would like to get involved, just isn't much going on here.
Strange.
