I shot my first IDPA match to test my training

[Ander]

I shot my first IDPA match to "test my training." and I got humbled in the best possible way...nothing exposes holes in your fundamentals like a timer and a little competition pressure,

 

[Vendetta]

Competing changes everything. The timer and having people watch you make simple stages way harder than when you're just practicing, it's a good way to see what you're really good at.

 That first match humbles you fast. The pressure from the timer exposes every bad habit you thought you’d fixed.

My first match showed me how slow I really was under pressure. It felt smooth in practice but turned chaotic the second the timer went off.

That’s pretty much the best way to find out where your training really stands. A timer and pressure don’t lie and IDPA has a way of exposing every small gap

IDPA has a way of showing you exactly which parts of your training were theoretical and which ones were actually real. Timer pressure is an honest examiner and it grades hard.
