Hours before the 2014 IDPA Nationals, the folks at IDPA HQ left the following message on the IDPA Facebook page ruling the CZ Accu-Shadow illegal for SSP: (Facebook link if the embed isn’t showing up.) Here’s the cited rule: I ran searches on the IDPA rulebook for both “OEM” and “original equipment manufacturer” and came up with zero results: I’m not extremely familiar with the CZ Accu-Shadow, but one commenter on the IDPA Facebook page …

I only managed to get video of 4 of the 6 stages at the match, but got most of the highlights. Stages were fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. (Video Link for Email/RSS readers) Overall I shot well. The dry-fire is paying off, and I was very confident about my hits. I need to put in some more work on getting the reloads quicker, and better stage planning. Match Breakdown: Stage 5 …

Yesterday I shot the H2O Fowl Farms “Coins for Children” charity IDPA match. The match was raising money for the Coins for Children charity that works to end child sex trafficing. The stages were fantastic: big, challenging, and fun. We’ll talk more about the match on Episode 98 of the podcast which will release early Monday morning. Stay tuned.

Whenever there is a month with a 5th weekend, a bunch of the shooting ranges around Eastern NC like to have special shooting matches that they don’t host in their normal match rotation. This coming weekend is the 5th weekend, so here’s some of the matches taking place: Saturday, August 30th, 2014 USPSA Rifle at Sir Walter Gun Club Just like a USPSA pistol match, but shot with rifles. A great match to go run …

Yesterday, Brandon at Concealed Nation published an article with the below video showing a shooter with a squib load during an IDPA match: (Video Link for Email/RSS Readers) In the video the shooter is able to stop shooting before he shot another round into the squib, which can have disasterous consequences. On Saturday when we were shooting at the PDHSC/Shoot2Live IDPA match, a friend had a squib in his 1911, and unfortuantely was not able …

Here’s the match video from Saturday night at the PDHSC/Shoot2Live IDPA match in Raleigh. (Video Link for Email/RSS Readers) Here’s more thoughts on shooting with my CCW rig in the match. Also, this was the topic of Episode 96 of the podcast.

Earlier this evening I shot the PDHSC/Shoot2Live IDPA match in south Raleigh. I decided that today I would shoot my actual concealed carry setup in the match. Even though it’s a match tailored for concealed carry, I usually shoot IDPA with my Glock 34 from what is essentially a competition specific holster (even though it’s within IDPA’s rules, it’s not something I’d carry with outside of a shooting range.) The Gear: Pistol: Springfield XDs 9mm …

Last night on Episode 95 of the podcast, Ben introduced a new segment that we’d like to start having on the show. Its becoming a pretty common thing for us to hear from people at matches, or in emails that they shot their first shooting match and had a great time. Here’s what were looking for: What match did you shoot? (Type of match, where it was, etc.) How did it go? What did you …

If you’re interested in getting you’re feet wet in competitive shooting, this coming weekend is a great time to do it. H2O Fowl Farms in Dunn, NC is having their monthly IDPA match, and it’s looking like the weather will be perfect. I’ll be there, and I can tell you that you won’t find a friendlier group of folks to shoot with. If you’re interested, the details are on the calendar page here. You’ll need …
