Shot my first IDPA stuff

Met with some guys at the range for a little informal IDPA style shoot. I watched them do 1 scenario and then shot on the following two.
I had a good time and can easily see how this may become a bad habit.
Everyone was very helpful, and I didn't kill any hostages, which made me happy. They meet every Wed, so I'll go when I can work it in between work.

As Arnold said....I'll be back.

Resistance is futile - you must assimilate!

Why watch a match when you can shoot it?

If you go to watch a match, you should bring your gear with you just in case. I did watch my first match to get a feel for things but instantly regretted not bringing my stuff after the match started.

Lots of fun.

I agree with the above posts. Shoot, don't watch. It's a lot more fun.
