Howard, Wish I could come to this, but we're having a family reunion that weekend (the wife's family ), and I was told that missing it would be unacceptable!

A question for those that have never show IDPA before. What does the different tiers mean. Is tier one for those on the top of the sport or is geared more towards beginners.

Thanks. I shoot USPSA and have never done IDPA, so was interested to know the difference.

The USPSA equivalent is "Level" to IDPA's "Tier"
