I love this game!











Edit

I miss shooting those matches. Too expensive now.

those steel targets sound like music!

Do they require the reloads or do the hi-cap guys smoke people?

Depends on who sets up the course, back when I shot in the mid-90's, the rules for a particular stage would specify allowable magazine capacities or mandatory reloads.

There are several divisions you can shoot in so you will not be competing against the hi-cap guys.  You're only scored against those shooting in your division.

Production: Basically stock guns like Glocks, XD's, M&P's, Beretta's, Sig's, HK's, etc.  You can only load 10 in the magazine at the start for this division and no major external changes to the gun.
Single Stack: Designed for single stack 1911's.  No major external changes to the gun.
Revolver: 6 shot or less revolvers.
Limited: Mainly custom .40 cal 2011's with magwells and magazines no longer than 140mm.  No comp's or optics.
Limited 10: Same as limited but no more than 10 rounds in the magazine.
Open: Few rules. Custom 9mm major or .38 super 2011's with comp's, red dots, and hi-cap magazines less than 170mm long.

You can take a gun out of your safe and be competitive in most of the divisions.  No reason to spend a ton of money to start off.  I've been shooting for years with a nearly stock Beretta 92FS Vertec that I also shoot in IDPA.

It's less if you do your own reloading.  I picked up enough compontents last year to get me through a couple years of matches.  Hopefully things will settle down by the time I run out.

I know what you mean, espcially when I get two "A's" out of the deal.

Finally figured out how to run the entire match together in one video.

Me too!  Shot a local match today and the Area 1 match is next weekend, we shall see what I can do in production!
