    Starting IPSC


    Alrighty, this coming Sunday(25th) will be my first ever competition shooting match. Its an IPSC 101 course given for beginners and for the local shooters who aren't available to shoot on Saturdays. I will be shooting my Gen2 22 for the exercise and as far as working/operating mods done to it are a set of night sights which were on it when I got it. I also did the .25 cent trigger job and a little sanding work on the mag well area to aid in friendlier mag insertion, also there is one of those extended butt plugs in the grip well opening to aid in mag insertion too. Ill be using a Serpa holster with the paddle attachment.

    If ya'll wouldn't mind, I'm looking for some good tips for the competition even. Thanks

    Honestly, about the only advise I can give is I like to be one of the last shooters when I can be. That was I can watch others shoot. I know exactely what is going to happen, watch how others did and how it worked out for them and so on. I also, then know where the bar is sat at.

    I guess with that in mind I am kinda lazy not wanting to push myself any harder than I have to but that is how I do it. What can I say

    Good advice sfguard. Especially since its your first time competing. Another thing, make sure you check and then double check all of the rules before you go. And if you have a question about something done hesitate to ask somebody there.

    Hey Boomer,

    I am the guy you talked to at the Competition. Good shooting there. It was my first time too. I think we gave all the "pro's" a run for their money today.

    I shot a perfect score in 29.95 seconds with a beat up Glock 17 I bought for $250.00.

    Nice meeting you and as you can see, I joined the forum too.

    I didnt ask how to calculate the score, nor was it written on the score sheet. If you could tell me how to calculate the score, then I'll get it posted up later when I get home.

    just relax and shoot accuratly. just because the other guys are hauling butt and shooting on the run dosent mean you have to. "slow is smooth and smooth is fast".

    and make sure the other guys know its your first time so they can give you tips and put you towards the back of the line up your first few stages.

    I was pretty nervous last saturday on my first competition and i ended up scoring in the middle of the feild on my first stage. its fun and the learning curve im sure will be huge from your first event to your second event.
