Running another Intro to IDPA class

Recommended Posts

I am going to run another Introduction to IDPA class like the ones I did last year.

 

The date will be August 15th and we'll be using the special events bays at Easton Fish & Game as before.

 

If you're interested in IDPA and want to learn the basic rules and techniques in a friendly, low stress environment, please sign up.

 

Please note, IDPA is not for novice shooters. There is a lot to think about other than manipulating your firearm so I ask that you have at least 1 year's shooting experience.

 

Here's where to sign up:

Cheers,

 

Stu.

Hey Stu, is a BUG ok for this event?

Sure, why not? BUG is now a regular division. You're allowed 3 spare mags on your belt, not just 2.

 

You are making it harder for yourself though. I'd go with a full sized pistol to start of you have one.

You don't have to have an OWB holster. IWB are allowed too.

I want to use my VP9, I don't have anything for it yet. Jamie from Titan said he can make me one before the class. I have two IWB holsters, one for a G27, and one for a Boberg XR9-S. Neither of which I want to shoot with.

+1 on Stu's class. He takes his time, is very detailed, emphasizes safety while having a great time. If you want to get into shooting sports and are hesitating just going to a match, this class will show you what you need to know and get you comfortable enough to shoot well on your first match. Thanks for getting this started Stu!

You are very welcome. You were all great students and I had a ball teaching you.

 

Don't kick yourself too much about your error, you won't learn if you don't try things and there will always be mistakes. In the grand scheme, yours was a minor one.

 

I'll post the scores for the mock stages when get home tonight.

      I have been asked to run a class to prepare people for carrying a defensive firearm by my home range, Phillipsburg Pistol club.
      It will be held on August 6th, from noon until approx. 4pm.
      We will cover safe use of a holster and a number of defensive shooting techniques.
      The class will finish with running each student through HQC1 and a certificate will be provided for those that achieve a passing score.
      It is open to all, but members of Phillipsburg Pistol Club will have spots reserved for them.

      Going to do a few posts on at home training including what you need, how to do it safely and cover some drills.  From basic to some more advanced stuff.  Really the importance is to focus on perfecting the basics and make it become second nature.  It's important to start slowly, fix any mistakes, and build proper muscle memory.  Avoid getting sloppy or lazy and developing training scars. 
      Practice does not make perfect.  Practice makes permanent.  Only perfect practice makes perfect.  
      I like to spend about 20 minutes a few days a week.  5 minutes for setup and clean up, and 15 minutes for practice.  That's all that's really needed.  Make sure you have a goal in mind on what you want to focus on.  This will prevent you from getting sloppy and getting training scars, and will help you stay interested by allowing you to constantly improve.  
       
      SAFETY:
      Setup a safe area where you will not be interrupted.  Place your targets in the safest position in case of an accidental misfire.  
      Immediately check and make your gun clear.  Do the same with the magazines you will be practicing with (recommend 2 empty magazines).  
      Retrieve all of the items you might need for this training.  You don't want to have to go back into the safe or storage where your live guns and ammo are once you start practicing.  
      Store and lock up all live ammunition away from where you will be doing the training for the entire duration of the training.  If you can't lock it up, it should be in a separate room where you will not go until your training session is totally finished and you are putting everything away.  
      Every time you pick up the gun, check that it is clear.  Even though you know its clear, this creates the mindset to always check the status of a gun when you pick it up.  
      When you are done training, you are done.  Don't go back and do one more thing after you start putting things away.  This is when accidents happen.

      I'm running my Intro to IDPA class next month.
      There's quite a few on this forum that have done it and they seemed to like it. If you want an easy way to transition from a static port to shooting on the move consider this class.
