I've been shooting IPSC for 5 years and I have been wanting to try an IDPA match. Well, I finally went to a local IDPA match. A number of my IPSC club members shoot IDPA and were at the match so I had some on site instructions and tips given to me which were very helpful. I read the Rule Book a few times and also did some dry fire practicing throughout the week prior to the match. Watching some IDPA matches on You Tube also helped me prepare for the match and better understand the rules.

I was very happy with my performance. I wasn't as smooth as I normally am during IPSC matches as wearing cover (concealment vest), drawing from concealment and doing mag changes while wearing a vest added a little more challenge. Nonetheless, stage by stage I was getting more comfort with the IDPA style of shooting. I competed in CDP Division. There were 11 competitors in CDP. I finished 3rd in CDP Division and 3rd overall considering the combined results of all divisions. Obviously, my IPSC shooting experience helped.

I forgot to turn on my Contour Roam camera for Stage 4 so I videoed the MD shooting that stage but placed my stats on the stage video. I only had one real "brain fart" and that happened on my 3rd stage which was Stage 6. The start position was sitting in a chair with the gun unloaded of table in front of you. You had to engage the targets directly in front first while sitting before moving onto the next position of cover to continue engaging the remaining targets. I had just shot two short stages and I obviously had it in my mind after I engaged the first targets while sitting that the stage was over. I sat for 2-3 seconds (maybe 4 sec) admiring my hits on the targets when I realized that the stage wasn't over. Oh well, I had a good laugh afterwards.

In short, I enjoyed the IDPA match and I intend to shoot as many matches as I can in the future. You can never shoot enough and the IDPA matches will be good practice for my IPSC matches and visa versa.
