So what is your highest classification in IDPA or USPSA if you play those games?
Any major match winnings? Wondering how many really good shots are here. Not just the self-claimed backyard heroes who flood the Internet with their shooting tips. ![]() Time the show off Guys,

I finished last on 5 out of 7 stages at my first USPSA match at our local club on April 19 of this year. I shot the production class with 9mm. I actually placed third from last on those other two stages, and we did have one person disqualified on the fifth stage. It was my first match, and I shot the classifier but haven't sent USPSA my membership dues as of yet. My work schedule and club matches don't seem to work out too well. I hope to catch another one soon. I've got several good mag holders now....that's gonna beat sticking them in my pockets.

SS in SSP
Sometimes I do great and am very near the top of the list and sometimes I do very bad and am not at the top. I'm very erratic. And I suck at the classifier.

Unclassified CDP, though I did fairly well last match. I need to send in membership dues and shoot a classifier - soon I hope!

For a forum on Defensive Carry, it does not appear that many use IDPA or USPSA to practice their ART. Why is that. I always thought that competition improves us. The buzzer adds stress and the stages make you think. Plus any trigger time is better than none.
I try to compete at least once a week on Monday nights and also try for at least 3 weekend events plus practice. What do the rest of yopu do to keep you shooting skills tuned?

The dues. Work schedule. The amount of rules. It seems very complicated from reading about it. I'm not real interested in shooting weak hand only around a barrier. Carrying 5 magazines and multiple 'strategic' reloads and weak hand reloads have nothing in common with my normal carry. I may get into it eventually, but right now most of my play money is delegated to purchasing new guns and more ammo.

Marksman in CDP, ESP, SSP. I'd be a Sharpshooter now if I had called my last classifier SSP rather than ESP. I came within 1.5 seconds of going up to Sharpshooter in CDP at the Maryland State match.
I have a classifier in two weeks where, barring some seriously unforeseen glitches, I ought to get my SSP/SS. As soon as I get a wheelgun I plan on going for 5-gun classification. ![]()
