Intro to IDPA and USPSA in the DFW area this Sunday (11/15)

Thought I'd pass this info on to anyone interested in getting into competitive pistol shooting.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH, 11:00AM––2:00PM

Dallas Action Pistol Shooters (DAPS) is hosting a free event at Quail Creek Range to introduce you to the U.S. Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) and the Int’l Defensive Shooting Association (IDPA) sports.

This is your opportunity to learn more about practical shooting and pick up some tips from the experts. We’ll set up USPSA and IDPA courses of fire and let you shoot them to get the feel of a typical practical shooting experience. Bring your own handgun and 50 rounds of ammo, or just bring a box of factory 9mm ammo and shoot one of ours. We’ll be grilling wings & brats so come eat lunch with us and ask questions. All shooters must sign a waiver to participate.

DAPS is not charging a fee to participate in the Open House, but you must pay the regular Quail Creek range fee to participate in the Open House or shoot anywhere else on the range.

Why compete? Typical matches feature challenging courses of fire that can include drawing from holster, shooting on the run or while retreating, shooting around barricades and through portals, shooting from various positions (kneeling, prone, etc.), rapid fire, shooting and moving, disappearing or knock-down targets, and avoidance of no-shoot (non-threat) targets. This is not your typical stand-and-deliver range experience! You will take your shooting skills to the next level by competing in matches.

Where & when are matches held? All events are posted online at the DAPS website: http://www.dallaspistol.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Each event includes a location link with directions and a map to the range.

Where can I get more information?
Visit http://www.dallaspistol.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to join the club, read news articles and FAQs, sign up online for matches, join the DAPS Forum to connect with other competitive shooters, and pick up some great tips. Visit http://www.uspsa.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and http://www.idpa.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for more on the shooting sports. See you at the range!!

I've been dying to do something like this but when it's happening I'll be somewhere around Grand Cayman :banghead:

How often does Quail Creek hold these? I've been planning to go out there soon.
