I finally drew a resident moose license in Wyoming. Been putting in for the past 30 years. It's about time...

I have only shot three IDPA matches and the first one was the classifier. I think I will practice the classifier a bit and see if I can move up this spring. I am wondering, do any of you know of a reliable source for approximate times that a person would need to make on each stage to make the...

I was reading the duck recipies in one of the other posts and some of them sounded pretty good so I figured I would go get a duck and try one. Well, I went out after work today and shot this big a$$ed duck. I kid you not, the thing is huge. The wing span is over five feet. I don't know what...

As one of the regulars at our small local range, I spend a lot of time cleaning up after slobs. You can't believe the crap some folks haul out to the range. I have even seen tv sets and a kitchen sink, not to mention countless milk jugs and glass every where you look. It is frustrating and a...

Any of you guys ever experience trigger freeze? Darnedest thing I ever saw... Been shooting some IPSC this summer and a little IDPA. Actually been shooting a lot of IPSC. Anyhow, my splits on the close targets have been running around .16 seconds. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the...

I shot my first IDPA match today and had a blast. We did a fun shoot that included shooting from a golf cart, no shoot targets, targets with knives and guns for props and so on. It was really cool. We also did the IDPA qualifier. We had less than 20 shooters to qualify and lots of range...

This has probably been asked and answered a million times and I kinda feel stoopid even bringing it up. Anyhow, I am shooting 200 grain LSWC bullets in my Baer .45 for IPSC and IDPA. The load barely makes minimum for IDPA with a power factor of 166 with 4.4 grains of WST at 830 fps. I have shot...

I shot my first IPSC match yesterday and what a blast. I haven't shot a match of any kind in 15 years and need my butt kicked for not staying in the shooting sports. I want those missing 15 years back. Anyhow, I would encourage all shooters, regardless of experience, to try an IPSC match or...

Today I replaced the plastic main spring housing on my Kimber Stainless Gold Match with a Brown main spring housing checkered at 30 lpi to match the checkering on the front strap. I also had Brian Bilby throw out the MIM parts for new stainless parts. Good riddance to the plastic and pot metal...

Well I got to play around with the little single stack Glock .45 today. Compared it to the G30 and my Springfield Ultra-Compact. Cute little hunk of polymer. Glock sure put the G30 on a diet to come up with this one. The frame is more slender as is the slide. The Glock slide is about as thin as...

I will be attending my first IPSC shoot next Sunday. It is just a small club shoot about 100 miles from here. I spoke to the RO and he told me to come on up and he will work with me after the match and let me shoot the courses of fire. He suggested I look at the IPSC Web site, which I did. Holy...

My dealer has a used Colt Govt. Series 70 for sale with several modifications. The guy consigning the pistol insists the work was done by Armand Swenson personally, but I doubt it. Anyhow, the pistol has a 6 inch barrel and a stock slide. The barrel has no stampings on it at all. The bushing...

I’ll apologize for the length in advance. I am sincerely looking for some help from all of you so I hope you take the time to read my post and respond. I am 44 years old and I quit competing 10-12 years ago. I have shot many thousands of rounds through double action PPC revolvers made by Power...

I am very new to IDPA. I have practiced some of the courses of fire on my own, but I have never shot a match. I had Brian Bilby work a Kimber over for the Custom Defensive Pistol Division and I have a model 625 (pre-turncoat model)for a revolver, but I am looking to buy "something" for the...
