I find the people who complain about IPSC are almost always an outsider(non-IPSC-BB) or shooter who could not perform in IPSC and then left; faulting the "equipment race", or expensive handguns that always beat them. If a gun is reliable,...has good sights and decent trigger,....it can be competitive. Then IPSC leveled the field with different divisions to account for the comps,..optics,.etc....so shooters could compete against shooters with similiar firearms and equipment. BUT,...we still get folks blaming the equipment race,...or rules as slowing them down or stopping their championship dreams. Hard to admit it was there lack of abilities or practice that slowed them down.

For many, you're probably right. Do tell, how many pages are there in the IPSC rule book?

TDC

ETA: I was bored so I looked it up. 39 pages for handgun alone. Why so many rules?

to make it fair,...with rules that are not necessarily subject to interpretation.
to account for the different divisions, and safety rules!


have you tried IPSC? if not,.....why not?

If you don't shoot IPSC, and it doesn't sound like you want to, what does it matter to you how long the rule book is?

Just asking...
