IDPA is a fun shooting competition. It lets you shot in ways that are never allowed at a static range. It is great fun and I feel the competition makes me a better shooter. During the stage you have to be thinking of what order and how many shots each target gets. Plus, there is the time factor and the stress of everyone in your squad watching you.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
