Good stuff. I just might come out for the April IDPA match and embarrass myself. I've been wanting to get involved with practical shooting for some time.

Any tips for a first-timer? Besides the obvious like close the mouth and open the ears?

You will need eye and ear protection. holster, 3 mags or 4 speedloaders, and a concealment garment (vest, shirt etc,). Most IDPA stages are shot from concealed draws. www.rangeisssafe.com has links to some local clubs and the IDPA website as well, you can download the rulebook and read which I would recommend. Most local matches use 75-100 rds of ammo, bring 150 rds and you'll have plenty. Plan to have some fun, and don't worry about embarrasing yourself, all of us were newbies at some point, and we will be glad to give you whatever help you need. Also we have a "cold" range policy at the matches, that means don't show up with a loaded gun, shooters are allowed to handle their gun only under the supervision of a safety officer. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

I plan on shooting with my carry rig, (well, except for the dual magazine carrier) to simulate what I'd have to do in real life were I to need to draw. Won't make for the best times, but I figure realism is a better goal. As for eyes, ears etc... I got all that stuff.

I was gonna attend the IDPA-lite shoot that Rabbi did, but between the threat of rain and being in a temporary tight spot financially, I decided to forgo the chance of spending $70+ on gas and having it get rained out. So of course, the weather ended up being fine.

I appreciate the info; I had been looking at the site price_g put up and Cleveland looks like a good location for me to go to.

Has /Weber given up on IPSC? He never comes to ORSA anymore and I haven't seen him at Area 6 in over 4 years.
