Shooting was my life before I got into skydiving a year ago, and it is great to meet so many skydivers that shoot. I competed in NCAA collegiate rifle, high power service rifle, and ipsc/idpa.
IDPA is fun, but the club I shot with would tend to get a little stupid with the stages. It would start with "Ok, ten gang members are charging you house, one holding your wife hostage; hold on to this baby doll as you..."
At that point I went to IPSC (limited ten or production class with a stock G 22) and found it to be more like CQB and a lot more fun. The race guns will kick your ass everytime, but you learn a lot.

P.S. I highly recommend a Dillion for reloading.
