[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1455883, member: 18"] I think a lot of folks thought this at first when IDPA first came out and everyone wanted to trash it as IPSC-Lite and I Don't Practice Anyway. Then IDPA became wildly popular with beginning shooters. And just about any experienced MD knows, beginning shooters make the match since they vastly outnumber good shooters. USPSA tends to cater to the good shooters and that is certainly their decision. Looking at the two sports' magazines gives real insight into what and whom they consider important. USPSA puts JJ Racaza or Chris Tilley on the cover. IDPA puts some woman none of us know on the cover. USPSA's magazine articles tend to cover what the good shooters do at matches; IDPA's magazine tends to focus on the needs of the average shooter in IDPA or the average beginner. Personally I'm a Life Member of USPSA and always renew my First 100 IDPA membership even though I haven't shot a match in years because I think it's important to keep both sports around so that folks will have choices for as long as we can go armed. I don't have a good answer for why this is the case but it is my personal observation. YMMV. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
