Good luck wherever you end up.
Thank you, Rabbi. Good luck to you, too.

We only shoot 6 IDPA matches a year anyway, with all of our other matches being "fun" shoots.
At our state match you were asked to submit the details about your holster. So you would have to lie to get thru.Just go ahead and wear your UM holster. What are they gonna do, inspect all the kydex to make sure that none are UM? What a crock!
I wore a blaze orange hunting vest my first match as it was what I had.
Well, that's just the point. IDPA is not salvagable. When the IDPA BoD institutes a badly concieved, badly worded rule revision without any member input or discussion, then BoD is too far gone to save.I hope most of this talk about resignation is just venting. Its important that we as shooters do not abandon a sport when it is still salvagable.
I don't remember being asked about it myself, but if you say they solicited input then good for them. If the response seen on the gun forums is representative of the IDPA shooting community, then they did a poor job in gathering accurate data.Several months ago there was a request for the membership to make suggestions to their area coordinators. I know several people who suggested the new ESR division. It looks like they took those suggestions to heart.---wheelgunner100

Which is why I said,"If the response seen on the gun forums is representative of the IDPA shooting community, then they did a poor job in gathering accurate data."The response on the gun fora is probably the worst way of judging anything.---Rabbi
The 625 is now illegal? Well, I guess I won't ever compete in the revolver division, then.
Same here. We don't even require drawing from cover.I see a lot more IDPA "Type" matches in the near future. Where I shoot, they follow the safety, scoring and the COF requirements but that is about it.
Do you have any evidence of this? All I know is that Joyce has said that she would bring up to Bill the fact that the mot popular IDPA revolvers were now illegal. There was never any offical word that I've seen that anything was going to change at all.Any gun you were able to use until now you can still use. The 625 business was a mistake at HQ and they are correcting it.
...there's no reason I need to pay money to be treated like this when any number of ex-girlfriends will behave similarly towards me for free."
