The first Southern Regional IDPA Championship was completed Saturday May
27 at the Middle Tennessee Shooters Club in Manchester, Tennessee! The
weather was near perfect for the competitors on Saturday. The SO's had to
shoot part of the match in the rain (read FLOOD) on Friday and final
preparations were delayed until early Saturday morning due to the water
collected on the range.
There were contestants and spectators from eight states and nearly 70
shooters completed the course. There were no DQ's and very few procedurals.
The comments heard during the match were quite favorable and complaints
seemed virtually non-existant.
The match consisted of nine stages. Two stages had multiple strings of fire
and simulated dynamic unfolding events - a gang style home invasion and a
terrorist attack on an office building. The round count was less than 100 and
the stages were short, simple and to the point. We think this match
challenged everyone and the winners had to do it with shooting skill instead of
gamesmanship.
For those who attended, please post your comments and observations. With
good feedback we can make the next one better. For those who didn't attend,
mark your calendar for next Memorial Day weekend!
