I joke, of course. A little. Every IDPA shooter I’ve known has been really good at being mostly accurate in rapid fire with a pistol. They’re just not going to be splitting playing cards anytime soon, at 15 yards.
I can see why IDPA is a worthwhile shooting practice. But I also think accuracy matters, and why Alex would disdain such a thing.
[edit] Mother of God, Joerg is unstoppable.
Of course, comparing IDPA/IPSC style competition to bullseye pistol is like comparing basketball and soccer. They’re not even remotely the same game despite having similar objectives and a spherical object flying around. If you’re not too picky you might even find a ball that works after a fashion for both… “Accuracy counts” – totally agree. So does speed. I’ll do my best to have both (though I’m no Bob Munden or Rob Leatham).
By the way, much love for the comic (instructor-trainer here). Keep ’em coming.
Love the comic and just had to comment since I love TheRange and the carolina cup and it is about 15 minutes from my house. Keep up the good work!
Hey, he has the same technique that I do:
Aim – miss
Aim – miss
Aim – miss
Screw it – if I can’t hit the target, at least I can scare it to death!
Miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss
Let barrel cool while friends laugh at me.
