These continue to be some of our least-read articles, but as I said last time, I will continue to write up at least something from each match just for my own personal reference. And if I am going to bother to write something up, I may as well post it for all to see, right? […]
After only shooting in four matches in 2019, I was excited to have the opportunity to shoot in my first IDPA match of 2020 just a few days into the new year. Hopefully, this is a harbinger of things to come. The Match The match was a little bit unusual in that it consisted of […]
One of my goals this year was to shoot in at least seven matches. However, with a pair of graduate classes during late winter/early spring along with all the usual familial obligations, I was not able to get to a match until this past weekend. We shall see if my goal is jeopardized down the […]
