What Would You Like to See Discussed in This Forum?
Since Charles opened this new Forum area for us, I'm wondering what types of competitive shooting events are of interest to Texas CHLers...

I picked IPSC because that's what I've been shooting and available here. I also like steel challenge a lot.
However, I'm planning to try IDPA (tomorrow).
Also, I'm currently exploring non action pistol competitions, so any discussions on NRA conventional pistol/2700 and pistol silhouette would be useful and interesting for me.

I want to choose "All of the Above", but that's not an option.
In all seriousness, IPSC is all I have competed in, but I am interested in IDPA and Three-gun competitions and may get involved eventually

Being an IDPA addict makes this choice easy for me. I think it will likely be the most popular here because it closely relates to our chosen lifestyle.
I do want to read about all kinds of competitive shooting. I might never choose to invest in specialized equipment for other sports, but I would love to hear what others have to say about them. If it involves friends, shooting, and a safe environment......I am ready to read about it!

Jbirds1210,
With your IDPA gear, you can participate in IPSC limited (although you'll be at a disadvantage). If you have have 4 or 5 mags, you can go for the IPSC Production class (which you won't be at a disadvantage). I'll be shooting my first IDPA tomorrow so I'll be in a better position to say how much these 2 differ.
Also, I'm planning to compete w/ my Glock in the GSSF. Here, all you need is a Glock and a magazine.
You can also do steel challenge w/ your IDPA gear. Really, you just need a holster, gun and 2 mags (some kind person will help you reload while you shoot). 5 mags (optional) would be perfect. Now, this is a lot different than IPSC, but fun, fun, fun.

Shucks; I own a Glock and didn't think about including GSSF in the poll...I thought to include airguns, but not Glocks.
And IPSC seems to be really extending its perview. I understand they now hold sniper-distance long rifle competitions.
Is steel challenge covered under an organizational body?

IPSC because that is the one held on Sat. here. IDPA shoots on Sunday. I use my carry weapon & dont worry about the clock.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Wow. Interesting. I'd never heard of the ISI or SCSA. Well-known shooters compete, but is this a start-up?
