Hey guys, usually spend my time in the shotgun side of the site.
Couple years ago shot idpa and I really enjoyed it but it was always shot on a Saturday (and I work every Saturday) or a Sunday and it took an entire day at the range and I love to shoot skeet, so I never really went back.
At Rondeau Rod and Gun Club there is a group starting to shoot on Friday nights and shooting about 3-4 stages. Got there at 7 and we were done by 930. I needed a bit of a re fresher due to the fact of not shooting it in a couple years but I got it pretty quickly. Man was it ever a good time. I have the itch now! So glad I went.
Shot my beretta 92A1 and used about 50 rounds. The most action that gun has seen in a while to be honest. I can't wait to go out again and Im glad it was a very welcoming community.
I did notice a few things though, I had to keep my safety on in the holster and when I drew the gun I could flick it with my thumb off and then I had the long trigger pull for the first shot and I can see both those things being a big hinder on someones more competition orientated. Is this why M&P and Glocks are more common ? Or is it something you just have to learn to shoot with. There was also another guy with a browning hi-power and he had to keep an empty magazine so he would dry fire after he was done with it.
