I used to shoot it a lot and took a break. Have rejoined and am looking forward to easing back into it.

I wish you good luck, and a whole lot of fun! I would probably have to drive 150 - 250 miles to find an IDPA match!

There are three matches within an hour of my house. One is about 20 minutes away. I could probably add three or four more matches within a 75 mile radius.

LOL...IDPA is fantastic practice, something I need more of as do we all.

Exactly.

Couldn't agree more with the value of the IDPA matches, as a practice tool. And a very good one too! Checking with http://www.idpa.com/clublist.asp?pick=TX the nearest match is 100 miles away!

That's a bit of a drive, but probably worth it a couple times a year. On a nice spring or fall day, it's be a short ride on the Harley.

and I'd probably take a few friends with me.

The IDPA in my area went belly up, used to be tuesday nights at the Marksman on Canyon road near Puyallup, WA and a match on one saturday. $10 for 4 iterations, very good tool to build your skills. Used to show every week for about a year long period.

Did a little IPSC also and got something out of it but much prefer IDPA.
