Practicing for IDPA
I went to the range today to start practicing for the upcoming IDPA match. This will be my first match and I am both excited and scared. Since IDPA is all about simulating real time scenarios, standing behind a bench and slowly shooting at a stationary target is not going to get me prepared. This is why today I set up two target stands, 20 feet apart. First one consisted of two separate high visibility targets (bellow) and the other one had just one target. I used the two smaller targets to practice rapid fire and the larger one was used for shooting on the move and from cover. I had a lot of fun practicing and I am happy that most of my rounds ended up on paper. Still, if these were IDPA scored targets I would be in big trouble.
