Where is the sport going?

Re: Where is the sport going?

Yeah. When I picked up IPSC shooting back in the '80s, virtually everyone loaded. Now shooting IDPA, probably less than 25 percent load. I even heard one guy complain he would have to give up IDPA if the matches continued to require more than "one box of ammo."
 
Re: Where is the sport going?

There are football games on today. I have caught parts of three different games. Then had to go out and gas up the misses' van before work tomorrow. A lot of the younger members are disconnected now that it's cold weather. Then they'll be back when the spring thaw hits.

I understand the IPSC thing as well. When we were shooting it was at least 3 days a month getting the stages ready, ROing the matches and shooting at least 1 gun. After not missing a match except for hospital time in 6 years I took a vacation from it. I MIGHT be about to start back. But I doubt being on orr even near the level I was at when I stopped.
