Without looking it up, can you name IDPA's 4 rules of gun safety?

You other guys.........HUSH. LOL

[Snowman78]

1st. treat all guns as if they are loaded
2nd. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to destroy
3rd. Finger off the trigger
4h. Know your target and what is behind it.

I think thats them.

I have also ordered a dual mag pouch.

I have been reading a lot about the matches and watching youtube videos. I am a little worried that my skills may not be up to par....

Just be safe. Dont worry about anything else.

Finger off the trigger and dont break the 180.

Just realize that while some guys literally blaze through the stage and look good, you'll be surprised to hear the number count as they tally up all the time-additions for missed shots/dead hostages etc. If you can hit a 16" pizza pie at 15 yards, you'll do just fine.

Now I should have all the gear I need. I got my new 15 rd mag and a new double mag pouch today.

With all your reading and preparation, you will do fine. Just relax, listen to the breifings and the SOs and be a great student the first match...it ain't a final!
