Yesterday morning I was stuck at the office and bored out of my mind. The internet seemed to be completely dead. Nothing going on with Facebook or Twitter and my RSS Feed contained a handful of updates, all of which I cared nothing about. With my morning break quickly coming to a close, I wanted to do something productive. I grabbed a scratch pad and decided to jot down some post ideas. Maybe one less inspiring idea would lead the …

This morning I was sitting at my desk when my phone buzzed. I glanced down to see that an email had come in through the WaltInPA Contact Form. My curiosity got the better of me and I reached for my phone. The message was from a shooter asking me to post an anonymous letter regarding IDPA Sanctioned Match Fees. Hello Walt.

Match staff is scheduled to shoot on Saturday May 18th with AM and PM Shooter Squads the following day. Earlier this afternoon Dave Bair, Ontelaunee IDPA Match Director, posted the Stages to his Facebook Profile. I’ve spent the last couple of minutes looking over them and, for the most part, I like what I see. With …
I like to think of myself as one of the few USPSA Shooters that can discuss IDPA without a negative bias towards my sport of choice. I am a USPSA Shooter first and an IDPA Shooter second. I tend to shoot IDPA for fun and to practice with my carry gun. This approach allows me to enjoy the sport for what it is without getting too caught up in the USPSA vs IDPA debate. Much like I am competitive in …
