Range commands for IDPA/USPA. "Load and make ready. Shooter ready? Standby" Beeeep.I don't want nor need a baby sitter and if 50+ people do, than I don't want to be around them.
Have you ever shot an IDPA match? Typically 60 shooters break into 5 squads to shoot each of 6
unique stages. Ranges are ran as a 'Cold' range. No handling weapons until you are commanded to do so.
After you finish your stage the command is given "Unload and Show Clear". That offends you? Get over
yourself. Others should recognize your skills and ability and you can handle your weapon as you see fit?
Are you offended when the RO says "Insert Open Bolt Indicator and make the line safe" (chamber flag)
at a rifle match? You do not move forward until the RO declares the line is safe. You can learn a lot from
shooting with people of a much higher skill level. The best shooters are always very helpful.
Watch a IDPA "Highmaster" run a course of fire. Amazing speed and accuracy. What I like about
IDPA is it teaches you to take a little more time on the trigger for the longer distant shots.
Strong hand only, weak hand only, different shooting positions, always challenging and a learning experience.
