even better than the training and fun you'll have with idpa is the network of like minded folks you'll meet.

one of the local chapters i've shot with usually has the trainers from two different county sheriff depts, a gun law author/attorney, several deputies from the various counties, former marine gunnys, idpa champs from ours and visiting neighboring states, nra champs, etc. you can't help but learn some useful stuff, and also get some further leads on training... this has been the real benefit for me.

a group of my friends and i make our own scenarios and have built target stands, etc. ... timers, the whole ball of wax, just to practice on our own. it's a class A hoot!

Did ya try the drop stop targets with the balloon in the head part of a box holding up the target box ? Hit the head in a failure drill and the balloon breaks and the target drops to the ground......

Hey GR --

Have you ever shot the Springfield Armory XD pistols? I'm seriously considering one or more after all this Glock frame rail/ballistic fingerprinting nonsense.

Of course, if they ever come out with an XD45, I'll be first in line, gun licensing or no gun licensing. -:)
