IDPA put down on IPSC rant...

Well I have run IDPA at my club in the past and now currently run IPSC. What I have learned is the people who shoot both and never bad mouth either SPORT are usually the best shooters and the most pleasant to be around. PERIOD

But the 3 gun nation shooters have the most sylish shooes!
 
I am really not sure why this is still being discussed.

Both sports are awesome, both give trigger time and a day at the range. What more can we ask for?

I think it is safe to agree that there will always be the "IDPA vs IPSC" debate floating around, but it is important to just stand back and enjoy what we have.

Just my two cents.
 
LOL !!!!!! Very FUNNY !!!!! - PS I am one of those who Don't Pactice anymore so I want to be part of Irrational people who squabble constantly about target that are not too big or not too close

IPSC = Irrational People Squabbling Constantly


IDPA = I Don't Practice Anymore

PPC = Pillows, Pads & Cushions

Cowboy Shooting = No Target Too Big / No Target Too Close

They're all games, have fun. :)

I'm not going to say. It was an outlandish comment. I purposely didn't say because I was fishing to see if anyone else had a similar racist perception. I feel that comments like he made aren't made in a vaccum, and maybe him and his IDPA buddies all feel the same way.

Little bit of a broad brushstroke there ??

He's not necessarily putting others down, he may just be trivializing their accomplishments by rationalizing his own failures or inadequacies.


"Rationalization

Rationalization is often called the “sour grapes defense.” This comes from one of Aesop’s fables. The fox wanted some grapes, but could not reach them. This caused him to feel pain, as he could not have what he wanted. He rationalized, “They were probably sour anyway” to turn them into something he didn’t really want, and thus couldn’t really be upset about not getting. It is an intellectual way to diminish pain or guilt." (http://www.psychpage.com/learning/defenses.html)

Coming from a 39 yr old, white male......I really don't give a donkeys arse when competing, no matter what the discipline.
Whoever or whatever wants to bring it, is fine by me.

We'll see who's what and what's what double quick.

Seriously, this has got to stop. If you don't like one or the other, don't do it but for crying out loud, support them!
 
This discussion will continue until the end of time. It is the same type of discussion which is better Canon or Nikon cameras. It does not matter they both take good pictures.
In this case they are both shooting games and each one is just as much fun and changeling as the other.

Get a large group of boaters together, sooner or later the discussion will be power or sail, and the room will split. Why can't we all just get along? :)

You mean rag-baggers vs stink-potters. If we all just got along the world would be a very boring place....or are you just looking for a group hug?
 
Surfing youtube yesterday, came across this that ought to toss some gasoline on the fire...:evil::nest:

Never heard of this guy, other than a quick search of gunnutz to hear that he's controversial.
Completely agree with him that both are games - appreciate his comment that IPSC guys don't take themselves too seriously.
(And they shouldn't!!)
