Do you think they would time how fast we could eat the pie?

Finally, I made it to an IDPA match! Saturday was a beautiful day and the stages were both challenging and fun. I now have a good indicator on where I need improvement: Long range (do I need to say more?). Slicing the pie (move efficiently, finish slicing the whole pie to find all the Bad Guys :oops: .)

Stage 3, simulating engaging targets while seated in a car is a very good skill to practice. All we needed was a real car to sit in. Hmmmm.

I’m glad that Stage 5 gave us the option of running toward the target, because the head shot only and missing the hostage was pretty tough at the long distance. Otherwise, I was thinking a rifle would be real handy.

I liked Stage 8, but I noticed the revolver shooter, after finishing the first 3 targets was vulnerable as he was empty and had to reload in the open, right in front of the next 2 targets. Providing cover might be a good idea.

House clearing drills give me some trouble. I find myself asking, “Will someone remind my why I’m entering a building that I have never been and filled with Bad Guys?� Perhaps, a stated purpose or goal would provide proper motivation. “Your grandma is held hostage by armed Bad Guys. She makes the best apple pie in the world. You must go in and save her.� When the stage is over, you get to eat apple pie. Yeah, that’ll work.

I have had the opportunity to perform drills with computer controlled target machinery. More challenges – more fun. We’ll miss the match in May, so, see you in June.
