You are correct, it is the 5th Saturday. I'd change it, but I can't edit my first post any longer.

Can moderators edit my first 2 posts? Just curious.

I would like to add, If you newbies come just to watch. Bring your gear and shoot. There is so many people out there to help you. This sport is so addicting, I don't want you to miss out on the fun.

trade_sniper, this was a very good post, Glad it has been sticky.

Yea, me too, I spent a lot of time making it. Unfortunately I can't edit the original post, I have to add changes down here at the bottom.

Don't sweat that! I know it would have been nicer to get all the info at the top, but this is an awesome post, even if you do have to edit and add down here.

Boy, you really put some effort into this!! This is excellent work. I wish I would have had someone like you to help me out when I first started. I really appreciate what you've done for the shooters on this forum. Also, thank you for the kind words about TDSA Tulsa too.

We appreciate all the support and loyalty of our friends and clients.

We can fix that...

Nice information. Never seen it put like that before.

As far as editing your post, you have a few options, if you are not granted permission to do so.

If you have a way of hosting a file, you could put all this into Word, and just make a new thread, and post a link to the file (don't upload it, just a link). Then, any time you change it, just make a post to the thread, with maybe a reason for revision, and overwrite the original file that you are hosting. Your first post never needs to be changed that way, and the additional posts serve as a revision history of the original document.

Not sure there is any other way of going about it. Unless you just wanted to revise the document, and upload it to the forum with every change made, which would work too. To get the latest version of it, they would just click on the last page, and find the last post made by you, and download it...

Just trying to help!

Excellent info. Great effort. Sounds like I need to try the IDPA stuff.

**458 SOCOM** · 06-07-2008, 07:43 PM

I am wanting to get started in IDPA. Good post.

**kglenns** · 02-07-2009, 12:20 AM

Thanks for the original post. I've been wanting to join in the fun but was kinda worried about being a beginner. Your post has assured me that beginners are welcome. Thanks again!!

**DarkLaw** · 07-14-2009, 06:23 PM

I just sat down and read that ENTIRE thing, including the entire IDPA rulebook. Whew! Thanks for all the info, though - in this post AND all the others. IDPA sounds like it will be a blast!
