I imagine the real talent comes when you can ring a target at 1500, 1000 and 7-800yds in one sitting. Like the pistol competition you do, do they have long range events as well?
Lucky for someone, I can’t seem to find the good picture of Adrienne’s BRO...  |
The IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) matches are "real life scenario" shooting --- drawing from a concealed holster - or from behind a desk - or as though you'd just walked in to the mall - and an active shooting breaks out....
So that is more about "moving and taking cover" -- identifying the active shooter - making shots that truly count because innocent people are involved etc.
So that's about pressure (time clock) and accuracy REALLY COUNTS...... You have to follow the scenario as presented to you -- get busy as fast as you can - identify all targets in order as stated - and do the shots and reloads as stated. In other words -- you might only start the scene with 5 rounds - and or you're shooting from the weak hand because you slipped and fell trying to run for cover and now your strong hand is injured....
You have no idea how they try to trip you up!! LOL
However -- most of that is done in "pits" --- where the distances are 5 yards and maybe out to 20 yards. Pistols of course.
