Not having THR is killing me. Maybe this will generate some interest.
I shoot IDPA and IPSC(USPSA) and there are things I don't like about either of them, however, I shoot them and enjoy them. I bitch about them too. But often times, and I admit this is mostly in cyberspace, there is outrigtht animosity for one group toward the other. This seems to be the case mainly with IDPA toward IPSC, and I guess when you write the rulebook with every other page mentioning IPSC you kinda are setting yourself up for a fight. But this antipathy is something I just don't get.
I like both for different reasons.
IPSC engages my mind, it lets me be creative and a problem solver.
IDPA is abundent in my area and allows me more trigger time and everyone has to shoot the course the same way so we focus on speed and accuracy and not worry about which direction to run and which order to shoot the targets.
So the question is why can't we just get along?
