If it wasn't for the internet, I'm thinking the entire USPSA versus IDPA trash talking would be dead and buried.
Just got finished shooting a "combo" match with IDPA targets and scoring, but USPSA rules for cover and reloading.
The shooters were mainly IDPA types, but there was a sprinkling of USPSA shooters there too.
Lots of new shooters, so the rules and the differences they should expect to see if they shot either USPSA or IDPA matches in the future.
No bad mouthing of either sort took place, just a matter-of-fact discussion on what's different.
I noted that the vast majority of our local IDPA shooters aren't thrilled with IDPA reloading rules. Me either, but we all seem quite capable of just sucking it up and shooting by the rules anyway.
Have the same discussion on the internet, and all sorts of trash talking would have taken place
I had a great time even though it was wierd shooting IDPA targets after so long.
