Hollidaysburg IDPA

[wryekid]

Just a quick reminder to anyone not Fishing tommarow. We are having the 1st IDPA match of the season. It looks like it's going to be a nice day. The Match starts at 9:00.

Hope to see you there....

I was there and again I had fun other than feeling a little under the weather.

Mtbski I see you improved your scores the second go round. atta boy

wryekid did you shoot in the group that started with 6 "upper A zone" hits and do you have Boxers by chance?

Argh, please call them "upper A zone" shots. "Headshots" just gives more fuel to the anti-gun people, saying all we want to do is shoot people in the head, where clearly our sport is not about that. Thanks!

You are correct ~ sorry for my newbness!

It's OK, we love newbs.

Yeah, things went a heck of a lot better for me the second time around. I just couldn't get my head in the game the first time I shot. I was glad I had a chance to redeem myself. It would have made me crazy if I had to wait 3 more weeks to shoot the course again.

What happen with your score......

[Mtbkski]

I love how Corey tells us that this shoot is going to be an easy start. They will build in hardness as the year goes on. And then has us shooting "Upper A Zone Only"(cranium incapacitation shots) at 15 yards with six rounds.

Yeah, it is going to to a good year. You wait till they start bringing out all the weaving, ducking, bobbing, swinging, turning targets mixed with the good guy, non shoot, hardcover, targets that are behind the vehicle, walls, barrels, good guys, and you have to carry the dummy, lay on the ground, shoot under the picnic bench..... well you get the idea.

Then you have to just shake your head and laugh.

I emailed Corey about my score. Not sure what happened ~ well I'm off to the salt mine!

He was with us. Steve, Brandon(wryekid) and I always try to shoot together.

Did you see the movies I posted?

[Mtbkski]

Here are just a few videos that I took. I love how they say they are going to start off easy on us. So, this is going easy huh.... I can't wait to see what's to come.

Me in my stylish new orange cover shirt. You had
to shoot this entire thing from your knees. The one
target was a "Cranium Incapacitation Shoot" only.

Dan shows us how to run it a bit faster.

It's just me again on another stage. Tight shot thru
the window. Don't hit the good guys standing in front
of the bad guys.

Amazing how something that should be so simple
can become complicated if they want it too. Shoot
him, then shoot him alot, then shoot the first guy
again, then don't shoot the good guy but shoot
the other guy you can barely see behind him.
Oh, and you got to be backing up while you do all that.

Steve does pretty good on the "Cranium Incapacitation
Shot" only cours of fire. This one made you slow down
and aim your shots. Six rounds in the Upper A Zone. Shoot
till your happy with what you got. I dumped 11 rounds
the first time and only got 4 or 5 in the cranium. I had a
bad first round.
