IDPA – May 2016 – Results

As I expected – I came in dead last. I’m taking it all in stride though, as I was so much a fish out of water.  I really had no idea what I was doing.  So hopefully at the June 25th match, perhaps I’ll do better.  Most likely not, but it will come along.  I…

My first IDPA Match

WOW!  So much to take in! Today was a baptism by fire, but I did OK.  Mind you, my score sucked, but it should of.  Jim, thought I had been shooting for a few years; not a few months.  I think if he knew he would have said you need more time.  I pushed myself…

Baptism by fire – really!

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…

Practice 5.10.16

I had some time after going to the Passport Office, and so I got a chance to go to the range. Jim, the friend I told you about will most likely be my tutor for IDPA, and he’ll be bringing about 5 or so pistols to use when I see him.  He’s a .45 guy…

Practice 5.8.16

I tried to get out to practice yesterday, but the day got away from me, so got to the range today – thanks to Cassie for letting me get out for a bit.  I tried two guns today, and both were hammer types!  Trying to see that there are some pistols that are other than just…

4.30.16 Update

Started the day off by going to the Gun Show – interesting, but most likely would not go again,unless making an AR-15, then wow they have a ton of parts.  Maybe if I pick up 3-Gun alongtheu way sometime in the distant future. Then went on to the range to finally get in some practice.  It’s…

This and that…

Post-Op 24 days and I ran 3 miles out of the 6.2 miles I did today.  Last time I really ran was about 25 ago, and even then, 2016 has very little miles. Since going on the path of getting my knee fixed, I will have spent over $3K.  I still owe the anesthesiologist (still…

The plan

Since I had the surgery, funds will be a bit short, but not for long. So the plan is to try to do what I can, when I can. This month, I can go to the range on the 10th, 17th, 22nd and possible the 30th or May 1st – depending on which day I’ll…

Change in programming

Now that Tumblr has “replies” again, and that I communicate with friends on Facebook; I decided that I needed to make a change on WordPress. This is where if you “object” to the upcoming content, this is the time to get off this bus – now. I understand that people have a problem about firearms.…

Sunday, fun day

Went out with Cassie and some friends (and their kids) to range to do some shooting.  It was nice hanging out, working on honing some skills and then having an awesome lunch.  Funny picture of the day was Dan – don’t shoot the hostage! Looks like we’ll be going out every few weeks.  Something to…
