How to improve speed while maintaining accuracy?

One the most enjoyable IDPA events is a larger sanctioned match, such as a state tournament. Overall, it is a notch above most club level shoots and you will shoot more rounds. Do it for the experience, don't worry about competing, and have a great time!
 
IME 1 on 1 instruction with a qualified instructor is the best way to get fast and accurate. Karl Rehn with KR Training has already been mentioned, and I will second him as a great instructor and all around great guy.

My speed and accuracy went way up when I started shooting USPSA. 9 times out of 10 after shooting a stage one of the old timers in the club would come up to me and give me 100% free advice that worked. USPSA and IDPA experience goes way above and beyond what you pay for the entry fee.

Just my .02,

That's awesome. I am happy enough w my IDPA group but its definitely not like that. There is another group that shoots locally. Perhaps ill try and go with them and see if they more freely offer up advice.

I know the OP mentioned not shooting IDPA until he improves his speed. IDPA is a free lesson.
IDPA really isn't a lesson as much as a test for your techniques and your practice...as you don't get to repeat skills learn or critiques

I did this yesterday at the local IDPA match.

A newer shooter had developed the not uncommon habit of locking down his strong hand thumb...which in turn forced his support hand lower...and emptied a couple of magazines trying to topple a steel plate. I offered a couple of pointers to help out and he was very appreciative, however he did confess that he forgot is all as soon as the buzzer sounded on the next stage. I didn't have to heart to mention his taking six steps to make a 180 degree turn

I know that's not how IDPA is run or the propose for it but I would love to be able to run through the courses multiple times. I've heard if you shoot in 2 different classes you can do that.
