I just got into shooting sports. but befor that I was knife making, I watched alot of your videos. Now you are doing shooting sports! Perfect

[@ricflair1768]

Patiently waiting for the next series of IDPA videos....

[@jessenovotny4183]

Just watched all of your videos on IDPA. Super rad break down. Thank you so much!! When can we expect Pt 7? ;)

[@jhooton75]

This is a great series. I've been wanting to start competition shooting, and found a range not far away that does monthly IDPA matches. This video series really clears up a lot of my questions and makes it less intimidating to get started.

[@brewer3401]

Thanks very much for all 6 parts. Explained a LOT.

[@elund408]

as Bill Jordon noted "speed is fine, accuracy is final"

[@skywalker39100]

To play the game, You got to know the rules!

[@knifefanaddict795]

this is great stuff. I am considering getting into IDPA. I jest got my first handgun a few weeks ago so it may be a while before I start.

[@CookingWithLivvy]

Did you ever get started?

[@knifefanaddict795]

@@CookingWithLivvy no, I still want to do some kind of competition shooting but money has been the pivoting factor.

[@tomhowe734]

Good stuff! Practice is good and better than nothing!

[@vitaminstorm9429]

Part 7 when?

[@GaveMeGrace1]

Thank you- that’s helpful intro

[@inttubu1]

Excellent no bs series: parting shot...(intended) the SO is armed...safety eh? 😜

[@aslob9321]

Hi Walter, any idea when the next series of IDPA videos will be coming out? Can’t wait! Thanks for all you do.

[@chowtimewithruss1411]

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast

[@gpod2788]

Thanks great

[@qingfengwang2404]

Want to see more on idpa

[@heeebeeegeeebeee]

I have shown these videos to a number of people interested in starting the sport, they are super helpful! Just a question, will you ever make the technique videos you mention at the end? Trying to make master here and I'm super interested in your advice!

[@mkc7908]

I have seen 2 FTDRs in 12+ years. One guy deliberately shot a disappearing moving target through hard cover (a wall) trying to make up shots.

[@wildrose2029]

Very good video intro to IDPA. Did you ever get the other videos done you talked about at the end of this one? I can't seem to find them. Thanks WR.

[@rulzofegagement1929]

Hey Walter, are you located in GA? I asked because I've shot with most of the shooters you featured in your videos. GA Firing Line, Stoddards, and I saw a Governers(my home range) shooter as well!

[@aarondrennan5650]

Been interested in IDPA for a while. Great series, if you don’t care about your score or being competitive does shooting a no shoot target matter?

[@ron8566]

Nah- it just cost you penalty time.

[@justinrigginsmusic4385]

ok thanks

[@LillianGardner0214]

In the beginning, what was the procedural for?

[@steveg3593]

Can you wear a Velcro, 2-layer belt in IDPA like you can in USPSA?

[@kvbm]

8:19 Sorry for such a noob question, still a rookie here. But why divide with 2 on your down score?

[@tyshef]

Yeah, wish I could, but I can't since I only have one arm now.

[@ahiraband3939]

Why not there is a pro shooter with basically no hands? An RO or SO would probably be willing to work with you on a gear set up and a safe methodology for one handed reloads.

[@tyshef]

+Ahiraband I wouldn't be able to keep to the muzzle down range if I had to cock it on my belt or something. that no handed pro has arms and enough function in his "hand area" to cock the weapon and keep it pointed down range. I shot precision in intra-army competition, and pistol in the same types of competition, but now it's just a hobby as I've got no arm.

[@ahiraband3939]

+Tyshef it would definitely not be easy to set up. I have a couple ideas that on the uspsa/IPSc would legal for open division as far as being able to chambers a round safely. Admittedly for the moment I'm not coming up with anything feasible on mag changes but you have me thinking hard on it. Have a shoot in a week where I can also brainstorm with the RO/so .

[@tyshef]

+Ahiraband that'd be cool, in the army we had a squad comp using simmunitions, so the bad guys would shoot back, that was hard.

[@GunnerSouthPAS]

www.recoilweb.com/one-handed-reloads-for-those-with-just-one-hand-56951.html I'm sure with MD/SO approval you'd be able to compete using something like this.

[@justinrigginsmusic4385]

how thick is the steel that u make your knives with

[@pranayjha5754]

He usually mentions it in his videos

[@mynamejeff8867]

I am the kid at 9:30

[@julianmercier]

Sounds like too many rules.
