So what it comes down to is this. I shoot pretty well with a Browning High Power, acceptably well with a Glock, and passably well with revolvers. I want to improve with the revolvers. I'm trying to round out my own shooting skills, and I have never shot IDPA before.
There is a range nearby that hosts IDPA competitions monthly, and I have gone to the IDPA website and done some reading. I like the real world aspects of the course design and want to try shooting that type of match.
I have been practicing at the sandpit with the correct targets and stands, but I use the same revolver carry gear I use on the street, reload from speed strips instead of speedloaders, and it seems to take a LONG time to shoot a stage.
So here's the question. Do I go with the High Power to up my scores or do I stick to my guns(literally, since I don't have a High Power at the moment) and doggedly grind my way through my Model 65 S&W? It seems that staying with the wheelgun would help me more in the long run to improve my competency, but the scores will pretty much stink. Is this an issue?
I guess I'm looking for some moral revolver support here and possibly some IDPA hints from revolver shooters? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
artech
