In this segment we meet up with Charlie Hursh again where he discusses the details and benefits of training and attending matches at the IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association).

Hursh is an avid competitive shooter who participates in events held by the IDPA and the USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association). He started shooting competitively about four years ago when he became serious about concealed carry. He thought to himself “If I’m going to take on the responsibility of carrying a fire arm not only do I want to know all I can about the legal aspects of using deadly force, but I want to be able to increase my proficiency and have confidence to know that if I ever do have to use my fire arm in a confrontation, I’m able to do it effectively under pressure.”

Hursh loves training with the IDPA because their focus really is on concealed carry and practical applications for shooting in various settings because “You get to recreate’ real world ‘examples of self-defense situations. I’ve shot from cars in a simulated carjacking. I’ve shot in low light situations as if sleeping in bed
and there’s an intruder. I’ve even shot in a canoe that was constructed and supported on a metal frame with strong springs so that while you were shooting you had the movement and bounce of water. The only limitations are what the rule book says you can and cannot do and the range master’s creativity.”
