I might have gotten myself in a pickle, and before I either look stupid, or make a total ass out of myself, I figured I'd turn to NES for help (as I always do).
A old high school friend of a friend is in the military and shoots IDPA. He knows I shoot, and asked (through my friend) if I'm into USPSA or IDPA. I said I was interested in IDPA, but that part got garbled in the translation, and it came out that I shoot IDPA.
Long story short, it turns out that my friend of a friend is going to be in Mass shooting in some sort of military IDPA competition in a week, and I think I've been invited to participate.
This sounds like a great opportunity and a ton of fun, and I'd hate to pass it up. Like I said, I've wanted to get into IDPA, I just haven't had the chance yet. This just might be that chance.
I know a lot of you compete in IDPA - is there any way I can learn the sport in a week? I don't need to be competitive, just good enough that I can participate without making an ass out of myself. Or should I just politely decline and try to save face?
I was told the competition was under "military rules" if that makes a difference.
If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!
