Faribault is starting their summer IDPA on Wednesday May 16th. I was curious as who from here were planning on attending? I assume westhope, Pat Cannon and a few others would be there. They also shoot USPSA starting on Tuesday nights. |

I would love to be there but I'm going to have to miss this one. Perhaps the next one. |

I would like to try it out sometime. I know I need the practice and advice of better marksmen than myself. I won't be able to make it out this wednesday but maybe the next one. |

Of course. I'm practicing my reloads as we speak. Still pretty comical. ...OK, that one was 6 seconds, about the best I've done. I think I need a better speedloader carrier, but this one was on closeout at Streicher's for (I'm not kidding) 88 cents. Ooh crap, 9 seconds. OK, 6 seconds... Now if my ammo order from Georgia Arms shows up in time... Hope the weather's like today! |

How much ammo should I expect to go through in a day? |

Quote: How much ammo should I expect to go through in a day? We run 3 regular IDPA stages: Max rounds per stage is 18. The stages usually need 18. If you need to re-shoot one stage, I would bring some extra. I run an IDPA BUG match after the regular match. 15 rounds for that needed. Social hour after the match. Match starts about 5:00. You can come later, say 6:00, and still have time to shoot. Set up is about 4:00. |

So there will be a Back Up Gun match; excellent! And the UPS guy dropped off a heavy little package, yay! I was a little nervous because Georgia Arms didn't bill my bank card until today, so I was afraid they were just shipping it today. Apparently they don't charge you until they figure you have it -- how cool is that? |

When I went to school 3 stages X 18 rounds = 54 rounds. But I am younger than Pat, so it might be that new math thing. The other thing, I am surprised at all the people that say they are practicing, that is not the gentlemanly or sportsman type of thing to do,,,shame on you all. |

I better have another beer. They both round off to 1 box of ammo anyway. And as far as practicing goes, you know I've never been accused of being a gamer (my motto: "planning is cheating.") -- I just don't want to get a 'delay of game' penalty while I'm fumbling with speedloaders. |

Well, I think I want to try this. I talked to Leo the other night and he told me to come down around 6, watch the match, then he'd run the newbies through a stage at the end of the game. Any other new guys heading there tomorrow? Was thinking about leaving the McStop on I35 around 5:15ish. |
