I desperately want to three gun

How serious are people about the whole competition/race gun thing? I want to do runs with an HCAR, a mossberg, and a glock model 40 mos and other gimmicky stuff. Do people get mad if you just try to beat your own records and do you best, or are they pretty encouraging?

Steel match challenge is fun if your range does that.

Thatd be fucking sweet man

Most completion is very cheap to get into but quickly becomes a money sink once you get into it

People at three gun matches are super engaging and love seeing new people out there. You might get some light teasing for running basic gear but everyone's happy you're out there. If you're racing against yourself go have fun. But do not expect to be competitive with that gear. The sport is what you make of it honestly.

Competiton* derp

>>29566813

I've shot both IPSC and IDPA, what do you want to know?

>>29566810

I have no intention of getting into sponsorships or riced out, unreliable guns. I want to practice with my main weapons and test myself, and show up with goofy shit to just have a good time and make people laugh.

Thanks. I'll get started after I get out of commiefornia.

IDPA requires some "concealment garment". The vest is common with top-level people, but it could just be a jacket or open button-up shirt.

Honestly the race guys are their own little club but they're usually pretty easy to talk to. There's not many elitists out when everyone is carrying guns.

Also if you think those race guns are at all unreliable you have another thing coming to you. Top end 3 gun firearms run like Swiss watches and shoot like a dream, you're definitely going to pay for it though.

Me and the Missus just went to the local pistol club where we live to join and look into CAS.

Can do 3 gun and all sorts there too.

As a Kiwi, this is the only route to getting a pistol license too, so there's that.

How the hell do I join a club?
I cant find anything. fuck that website

In my experience, tons more welcoming than IDPA, IDPA (at least in my area) is a bunch of old salty guys with their good ol boys club, they will give you tons of shit for not adhering to every tiny detail, i found it unwelcoming and switched over to USPSA where a lot of the silly restrictions are gone and the emphasis is more on competition style shooting

the wide variety of divisions (and a new pistol caliber carbine division) means that there will be a division that suits you best and that you can enjoy

What organization do i join if i want to shoot more than 50 rounds a match?

>>29566605
>own a glock brand glock
>glock brand glock
>brand glock

just go back to playing you video games. you will never make it in the real world

>>29566605
IDPA is fun as fuck, although due to my budget I only shoot one match a month. In addition to your glawk, you'll need an owb holster, a magazine holder, a decent belt to hold those, and 3 mags (you might get away with just 2, but some stages have special mag loading situations and 2 might not be enough).
I can't speak for your area, obviously, but around here (central FL), people that I've shot IDPA with are consistently very friendly and helpful, far more so than the average guy at the range.
I should add that shooting IDPA has made shooting paper targets at a static range boring in comparison, for me.

>>29570583 here, I'm not even a member of any range, in my area you just have to pay $5 more to compete than the members. Joining IDPA (the organization) isn't even really necessary, but around here, clubs will only record your score once until you are a member (to give people a chance to try the sport without paying for membership).

>>29570225
IDPA is usually about 100 rounds a match.

Just so everyone knows

ISPC is now USPSA for the united states

The USPSA is a good website for finding a club.
I had to learn the hard way......

>what he said

Did my first USPSA match last month. It was really inviting and most of the guys there were chill and willing to help you out. There were a few guys there with their super-modified race guns and sponsored jerseys, but most were regular guys like us shooting whatever pistol they felt like bringing. One guy even went through it with and M&P Shield just so he could practice with his EDC. (single-stack shooters have to reload a lot and need more mags).

Intimidation is a factor, at least it was for me. Even got some good advice here on /k/ first so I knew a little of what to expect. Managed to not get dq'd or finish in last place. It was a a good experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
