The rootin', tooting-est, shooting-est hombre this side of the Pecosssss

Got my Yosemite Sam action on Saturday by going and shooting in an IDPA competition up at the range in Pala. Like a skilled beginner at anything I went from "eh, look at the clueless new guy" to "wow, great shooting" but the end of the day.

My gun worked great. I liked the style of shooting and competition. Everyone was cool and got along well. No wanna be ninjas or commandos. Good dollar to value. The only negative is waiting on results as it is all paper and pencil hand scored. I have no idea where I finished relative to anyone else.

None the less it was a fun time and I am very definitely going to go back again and again. I will probably mix it up between IDPA and IPSC style of competitions as well. You know how I like variety!

It was very interesting to shoot with the pressure of time, accuracy and people watching. Who you were also trying to beat. Drawing, sight picture, multiple targets, reloading, movement and cover. All of them came into play and it was much more intense than just simple target shooting. I know it is really just a game but it still felt like "more" in the heat of the moment.

And of course, I took my GoPro and got some pictures. Maybe once I am not soo green I will be able to get some video but right now I just have too many other things to concentrate on while shooting to worry about cinematic things.
