I got the itch to look into IDPA, I did it when I was a kid and thought little of it. I wasn’t even old enough to go but seeing as how I’d go with my dad and knew how to be safe they allowed it. I’d shoot a Taurus 92 or 99 can’t remember which. What sticks in my memory is “two to the chest, one to the head”😂 I had a blast until someone got upset that I was actually doing well and complained that I was too young.

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Hey Zack. That is cool. I was a late bloomer starting when I was 49. The IDPA for me is a great way to build patience, discipline, and tactical intelligence. I will compete in one at least twice a year now. There are a lot of fragile egos out there but keep doing what you do. Thanks for sharing your story and watching.

💯🔥👏

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Your support makes it all worth it. I appreciate the time you take to watch my journey. Much Respect!!💯💯💯

Nice run. The Athena's on my radar once the Nix is finished later in the fall. Have you done any work to it or is it still stock?

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Thanks bro. It is stock. I bought it used and it was built with a duty trigger instead of the Atlas 2lbs. It runs great even with the duty trigger. Thanks for watching!!

[@ronaldwoodman224]

Cool! What gun were you using?

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Hey Ron. I’m running my Atlas Athena. Thanks for watching!!

[@Gabierama]

Nice shooting! Do you think Atlas Artemis, Titan or Erebus can be use in IDPA

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Good morning!! Thank you!! From what I read, the Artemis and Titan can be used. The Erebus could not because of the compensator. Thanks for watching!! Appreciate it.

[@gray_citizen]

@@teamblacksmithllc I thought comps were good to go in IDPA now?

[@teamblacksmithllc]

@gray_citizen you are absolutely right. I just double checked the IDPA rules under Enhanced Service Pistol Division. The original design has to be built with a compensator or port. Thank you. 💯💯💯💯

[@Gabierama]

@@teamblacksmithllc the only problem is I think Erebus is too long but I could be wrong. I seen people using the Staccato XC for IDPA CO.

[@teamblacksmithllc]

@@Gabierama I would agree. In my opinion, the Erebus is not an ideal choice for IDPA for that reason. Maybe a Nighthawk TRS Comp or Staccato XC would be the best options.

[@Bane_Diesel]

Do you also do uspsa?

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Good morning!! Yes. I’ve been competing for about three years now. This was only my second IDPA match. I primarily compete in USPSA and steel challenge matches. Thanks for watching.

[@ronaldwilliams3495]

what pistol were you using

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Hey Ron. I was using my Atlas Athena.

[@jimbobborg22]

Is this Providence, RI?

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Hey Jim. This range is located in Audubon, PA. About 25 minutes from Philadelphia, PA.

[@coreybridges3187]

Thats awesome, im buying this pistol soon, to run in idpa as well.

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Awesome!! You won’t be disappointed. Have a great weekend.

[@coreybridges3187]

@teamblacksmithllc I just bought it, I feel like I sold a kidney, but im super excited at the same time. I went with the sub 2 pound trigger.

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Awesome!! I know the feeling LOL. Keep me updated on how it runs for you.
