A Tribute..........

Every once in awhile a good.....no.... I say GREAT Match Director is born, not afraid to show his true feelings about a sport....and a doll he truly loves.

On this almost rainy Rivanna IDPA match our leader Dave S. marched from stage to stage explaining every nuance of his great stages, the whole time holding a tiny doll in his support arm.

Shooters from far( that would be Stuart) and wide (that would be Thornton) came to bow at the feet of Rivanna IDPA. A goodtime was had by all and the best men truly did win! Congrats to everyone who came in first in there division and class ( even those of you without class and you know who you are!) A special thumbs up to Tim Raynes for being the overall winner ( he can be seen in the center of the photo, he is about the same size as the doll)!

Thanks Rivanna!

How to train and how not tot train

Another interesting take on the subject. I would like to say I'm not trying to start an arguement between USPSA and IDPA shooters. There are many different reasons to shoot both GAMES. I don't care why you shoot one or the other or both... just as long as you shoot and have a goodtime! My purpose behind posting this message is to enlighten....... I hope.

NRA Tactical Police Competition

I found this on-line this morning! It is very interesting. TPC appears to be a blend of USPSA and IDPA. Accuracy is a much higher priority than IDPA or USPSA but there is no round count limit.

It appears only to be open to Law Enforcement..... or the discretion of the match director. Maybe someone should start a TCC.... Tactical Civilain Competition.

Here are the rules
