    Thanks for the good info, guys. I'll probably have to go buy some cheap eyepro to wear over my glasses... The glasses I wear every day are scratch-resistent and shatter-proof, but they don't wrap around the sides like eyepro normally does. I did take a direct hit with a piece of hot brass to one of my lenses last year, and it didn't even leave a mark.

    Forgot to ask: Are those restrictions above are for IDPA, right? Would you recommend finding an IDPA match first? does it matter?

    You be surprised some of the things that happen, first match, first stage. Even experienced shooters.

    I am planning on the Pikes Peak match in January, weather permitting of course.

    High Plains IDPA - Cheyenne 12/13
    E CO IDPA - CRC- 12/27
    FRIDPA - Pikes Peak 3rd Sunday in January.

    Have to plan for more matches in winter because of weather cancellations.

    Yes and yes. Shoot a few IDPA matches and then run and gun in USPSA.

    Steel Challenge matches are great for first time matches as well.

    Just found out Christmas schedule at work. Party starts 11 AM the 23rd and don't have to be back until the 29th.

    Sweet. Most of the time I get only Christmas day off.

    Most of that time I will be out of town, but I definitely want to do a few before I leave in April.
