One of the positives of USPSA shooting is the tough demands on safety. I am biased but the best gun handlers are the ones who shoot in competition. It quite frankly scares the hell out of me 9 times out of 10 when a non competition shooter handles a gun. I have never shot IDPA and so I don't have first hand knowledge. That group may be and probably is just as safe. My point is competition does wonders for safe gun handling. If you don't participate you should.
i'm with coach on this one. not only are competitive shooters, in general, safer, their gun handling makes the transition to defensive shooting quite well.

From something

I think John Wayne said it. But if he didn't he should have.

"You gotta die from something.'
