IDPA Intro class - August 29

Inner/outer belts are not legal in IDPA. Your belt must pass through all but 2 belt loops on your pants. I don't insist on it in my class, but expect to be told about it every time you used it at a club match and expect to earn an equipment DQ at tier 2 matches and above.

The number of mags you need depends on the division you're shooting. SSP, ESP & CO have a division capacity of 10. If you're running Jersey legal mags life is easier if you have 4 but you can get by with 3. You'll need 2 mag pouches.

The inner belt is supposed to be very stiff and designed to be used alone as a low profile EDC/CCW belt. Hopefully that's okay.

I have 3 mags and 1 double mag pouch. I'm still reading over the rule book, but it looks like if I take out my aftermarket trigger I can shoot SSP.

Hello all

I wanted to say thank you to @Mr.Stu for holding the IDPA into class today.   I had a great time and learned so much.  Also thank you to RSOs (Jon, Joe and Jim) that helped out.

looking forward to participating in my first match next month at Pburg.

      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.

      I'm looking at running my IDPA Intro class a couple of times this year.
      I'm trying to create a bit of separation between the classes and to run on different days of the week to accommodate those that have regular commitments on a schedule.
      I have booked the range for August 29 which is a Saturday.
      I also wanted to run it on Saturday, June 7 but the range is not available that day. 
      Is there any interest in a class on a weekday in June?
      Please let me know.

      I am going to run another introduction to IDPA class in September. There are quite a few members here who have taken the class and followed up with going to matches and having a good time getting off the X.
       
      If you have been wanting to get into practical shooting matches, but want a step up so you don't walk in blind, please consider this class.

      Thanks for looking,

    • i've lived in this house nearly my entire life. and i can't remember my town sending an assessor to look inside.
    • This mindset baffles me. Shooting is a depreciating skill. If you don't practice, you will become worse at it. If you value your life enough to want to defend it, why would you rely on a skill that you don't practice? If the best I can do on a good day is scrape a pass on CCARE, I would be determined to get better at shooting - and yes I did see that you scored 98% - but your attitude appears to be that you shouldn't have to practice first. Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you mean that the government should not mandate that you have to meet any kind of standard before you can carry. I agree. There should not be any mandated quals. However, only a fool would be carrying a gun he can't use effectively. It does little to protect himself and creates a danger to everyone else because the misses will go on to hit something or someone after they miss the intended target.
    • OK let me explain. If you use your 9MM to qualify you will probably need to practice before you qualify so you go through 125 rds of ammo. Using expensive 9mm ammunition that's probably close to $0.40 around is costly. If you used your .22 LR pistol the price drops to less than 10 cents a round. I easily qualified with my Glock 226  ( 1 miss out of 50) but burned up  a lot of ammo practicing. We should not be required to qualify to exercise a constitutional right and it should not cost a few hundred dollars to do so.
    • Up for sale a Nikon Monarch 1.5-4.5X20 Riflescope. Scope formerly sat on top of my old Mini 14, so it is used. It also has some aftermarket lens covers on them (Buffalo Creek I believe). I'm asking $100 for the scope. Willing to drive within an hour of Woodbridge or meet half way. Buyer pays any shipping costs. First to post "I'll take it" wins the scope.
