Default ACPL Northwest Arkansas Championship IDPA

Went and shot the NWA Championship a few weekends ago.

Had a pretty solid run, but a few bad choices, and a couple missed shoots kept me from getting 1st in my division. Still had a great time!

3rd in ESP SS, and 21st out of 85 overall.

Pretty cool.....I don't follow the timed shooting sport but I bet it can produce some adrenaline.

Its in no way training, but it does help you learn to shoot with the blood pumping a bit, and helps you get more familiar with your weapon in a semi stressful situation.

Its enjoyable for sure! Nice when you win a trophy as well!

Nice job there.

I used to be heavy into IDPA and a bit into USPSA not long ago. I haven't shot both in quite some time though. Sometimes I miss the action, I say to myself let's go shoot IDPA this weekend but then I think about this FL heat and humidity, 4-5+ hrs out there no AC, just for barely 2-3min on the trigger, then I go nah. hahaha.

You did great!

Agreed....we train to stay alive in a gunfight...so I avoid the timed shooting sports. But stress as an additive is always good if you enjoy that type of shooting.

I never have understood why some people feel that training for a gunfight and competition shooting are mutually exclusive.

They are two different mindsets. I do not want rules to kick in if I am trying to stay alive. There are no timers, rules, guaranteed places to hide or duck behind or limited rounds in a gunfight. Remember...we fight as we train...waiting for a sound could get you killed.

It is indeed. Its a Springfield Range Officer 9mm. In love with that pistol. Its a bit on the heavy side and barely makes weight. Been a real accurate gun for me as well. For sub 900 bucks I couldnt be happier!
