I am going to be cruel.
IDPA (and also IPSC) is a gun game. A true test of your gun handling- shooting skills. NOTHING MORE!
If you get your a@@ handed to you, your shooting skills are NOT up to the challenge!
And don't try to find an excuse like it's not your main game or you learn from the pros. You just need to work on your skills not blaming it on something else...

Also if you shot more accurately then those who placed well above you with more points down.... you are SLOW. You need accuracy at speed! Think about it...in a real self defence scenario you won't have time for a 5 sec draw and and an other few sec to squeeze out a shot finally.

If you can not hit (mostly) stationary targets (who don't even shoot back at you) what do you expect from yourself in a real scenario???

disclaimer: I have a low post count so I have nothing to do with shooting obviously,
