Met with Jim today to ask all sorts of questions.
He is very excited to be a mentor, and to guide me through the IDPA ropes. So much so that he thinks I can shoot a match next Saturday. Gulp!
So here I go – I’m sure it won’t be pretty, but it won’t be unlike other things I’ve done in the past. My first time driving – Dad said drive to the freeway before I’d work Saturdays at the plant loading trucks, at 15. I thought wow, drive to the freeway! Cool. Then I get to the freeway and Dad said, now drive to the plant – that was in downtown L.A. I did it and was scared to death, but I did it.
On the 28th, I’ll be scared to death, but I’m sure I’ll have that grin I had when I was 15 driving for the first time. I’ll be thrown into the deep end, but up until now, I’ve always done OK. I’ll even be using Jim’s competition .45 – yep!
BOOM! Pun intended! 😉
