Going to Check Out IDPA Saturday

I want to give this a try sometime as well. Any recommendations for club near Boerne?

I would suggest http://www.texastactical.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They run a couple of matches a month on the north side of San Antonio.

I shoot with TexasTactical guys in Austin and have shot a classifier at their San Antonio area range near Bulverde. Might be going to this coming Saturday's match in Bulverde (think I just made a deal with SWMBO for permission to go ). If you want to go this Saturday, look me up and maybe we can squad up together and I'll help you out best I can.

There is another club that shoots in Boerne I believe. Forum member CWOOD shoots there occasionally, I think - might ask him about it. Some names/contact phones listed on IDPA web site http://www.idpa.com/clublist.asp?pick=TX" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also there are these guys down near Castroville http://www.rcsctx.org/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Tons of great advice! Handle your gun safely, take your time, shoot to your ability not what you see others do.

Your first mag can have 11, since that will give you 1 in the chamber and 10 in the mag before you start shooting.

Be careful with this - people get in the habit of tossing 11 in their first mag then shoot a stage where the gun starts unloaded and get a PE because your mags are only allowed to have 10 in them. Personally, I always load to 10 and keep 4 or 5 spare rounds in my pocket. When I'm on deck (or during load and make ready), I load the 11th into the magazine.

A-R, I just saw your post. Thank you for the offer. I'm tied up this weekend getting my son off to camp. Would like to take a raincheck if possible. Have heard good things about the Texas Tactical folks.
