Which do you suggest for my first competition.

thanks

IDPA. Less cost and as much fun. Check for matches in your area.

IDPA is not as competative. A great place to start. You can watch most matches for free and many allow first time shoooters to compete for free.

Advise the match director it's your first time and they will likely match you up with someone that's been around awhile to show you the ropes and review basic range commands with you.

Good Luck

How about a discription of the rules and course of fire for IDPA?
