IDPA @ Wilkes-Barre Rifle Pistol Club

Anyone shoot IDPA at WBRPC?

I'd like to do it. I've never shot competitively before and am worried about looking like an idiot.
I also have some questions about the courses of fire they use and how much ammo I am going to need.

Thanks

I don't belong to the club, but I've been meaning to try and get into IDPA. I believe they usually shoot on Saturday's, which was a problem for me last year due to work.

This year, while it appears I will have most Saturday's off, I have bridal showers, weddings and agility training for my dog. I'm hoping to make a concerted effort and try again for this year.

I wouldn't worry about looking like a fool, from all that I have read the only thing anyone cares about is that you can handle your firearm safely. All my shooting experience is pretty much LEO based, so I'm sure I will feel out of sorts trying to get used to how IDPA is run.

I'm already an IDPA member. Just looking for some practical guidance.

i plan on shooting next saturday and have never done it before either. I take it that you can sign up for IDPA membership the day of the event? From what I have read you need 3 mags and 100rnds of ammo.

Hmmmm......next Saturday, you say?? Have to check my schedule, might try and swing by.

Wow!! Had a great time! I was the new guy wearing the GLOCK long sleve shirt. Did anyone else make it out today?

[DeepbluePA]

glad yo made it Fast. It was nice to not be the only new guy. The event staff was great. I wasn't sure if i was going to shoot today, but I am glad I did.

Crap...I forgot all about this happening today. Oh well, I did get out to the range today anyway. Got to shoot my P220, G26 and M4.....life is good!

deepblue, I take it you were the other guy with me and mike in our group? Sorry Im terrible with names!
steve, I thought for sure i would meet you there! Maybe next time. I contemplated shooting my G26 but went with the G19 this time as I have years of shooting time with it and only a few outtings with the 26. Btw, I also just purchased an M4...see you at suscon or at the next IDPA. And for being my first time out I think I did relatively well. But for sure it was fun...much better then randomly shooting 50yd targets at suscon lol.
