So I've been practicing rifle for the last several years. I've been focusing all my energy into long range rifle. That said, I've learned a ton and improved my shooting drastically. I still have a ways to go but have improved nonetheless.
Now... I carry a pistol on me every day. I have one on my side as I type this. But to be honest, I cant shoot pistol worth a shit. I'm not missing targets or anything. Just no consistency, I'm sure I'm anticipating recoil, etc. This has been wearing on me.
So I really enjoy competitive shooting. It has helped me with my long range shooting. Because I learn more from watching and learning from other guys at a match than I do in a month just practicing on my own. I would like to try a few pistol matches coming up this year, as theres a few near me.
Any of you guys shoot pistol in IDPA, IPSC, etc.? Any recommendations or insight from a greenhorn starting out in competitive pistol? I just want to get better and shoot more/different matches. Of course I practice, but want to take it further and get better. Theres really not much in the way of instruction around here. So I use matches to go shoot, learn and have fun too.
