Today I shot my very first IDPA course. I showed up shooting it not for the competition but for the experience of training. Not many ranges (none that I cna think of) allow you to draw from a holster and shoot. Additionally no range I know of allows you to shoot different angles, multiple targets, rapid fire, etc.
I highly recommend IDPA or a similar venue for those that want additional training. There is a competition side of it, but there are a lot of good things that one can gain from it especially if you do not have the opportunity to run "shoot house" type courses.
I ran solely my carry gun and I learned a lot about what works vs what doesnt. You dont get to work through those things at a range punching paper.
I also for the first time had my first FTF which was actually a good thing since you were under "stress" and having to do the tap wrack bang drill live while under "stress".
Great time and I highly recommend this.
