Our first match went well and we did not shoot each other, which is a good thing. Our next match is on Saturday, 4/26, at Southern Shooting Center. Sign up begins at 10:00, shooter safety briefing is at 10:30 and hammer down is at 11:00 (or as soon as the safety briefing is over). You can go to www.slidpa.org for stage descriptions and round counts. They should be posted later this evening. The stages and round count will also be posted on our facebook page South Louisiana IDPA. This is going to happen at the same time as the Glock match. Hope to see some new faces this weekend.

Looking forward to it. Enjoyed the inaugural match last month. Anybody who didn't make the first match come on out and burn some powder or you'll miss out on all the fun.

Having worked the GSSF match numerous times in the past, that match only uses part of the facility to run it's three stages.
There should be no scheduling conflict, just easy co-existence, with the opportunity for Glock jockeys to shoot two matches in the same place.
The GSSF match is sign up for each stage at your own pace so competitors can shoot anytime they want over the two days.

When we had our first match last month, we talked with Gary about the Glock match and he gave us his blessing to have it on the same date. Southern Shooting Center is roping off 3 bays for us to set up our stages. Depending on timing, and the call of the after match bourbon, I may shoot the Glock match. All of the advertising and talking to people I have done has supported both competitions and have invited people to shoot both if they have the time. I believe what will make it work is the Glock match is come and go as you want, which will help eleminate overcrouding at one time. It's going to be a good day tater.

Been away from pistol competition for the last couple of years to pursue flying orange discs and feathered beasties…but the Glock match works very differently from the sort of "hammer down at xxx o'clock" that gets all competitors to the event at one time. It more like a "drop by whenever" party so the total number of competitors are spread out sometimes rather sparsely throughout the two day period. That's why it's easy for someone to drop by the GSSF match mid afternoon, say, sign up for there stages, and be finished up in an hour and a half or so, depending on the wait on the sign up list.
Truly, should not create any sort of problem because the GSSF crowd is rather spread out.
One advantage for Glock shooters is often a Glock armorer is on hand to check out and make minor repairs on pistols.
But I'd advise checking the rules very carefully to see where your pistol will fit in the categories….hardly any changes are allowed for the "stock" category.

I was looking into IDPA recently, can a newbie just sign up and go? Or do you have to go through some training/beginner courses?
