Wade -
I have a "Practical shooting" class in the works. Pretty comprehensive - a lot
more than an intro - will span 2-3 weekends. More emphasis on "very high end"
shooting skills than match rules and scoring. Will be ready to teach it as
early as July when my schedule slows down.
An intro clinic would be great. Maybe something like 1/2 hour in the class
room and a 1/2 plus on the range running stages. I think I'd favor one on IDPA
and a separate one on USPSA. Being that your an NRA instructor and IDPA
enthusiast, you're the perfect guy for the first one! :D
Run with it and enlist Barry and me as needed to help you.
Please sign up on bas-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and we can continue this
conversation and others there.
Thanks and best regards,
Jack

Michael,
IDPA is perfect for the scenario that you described, i.e. practice with your
carry gun.
"Participation in IDPA matches requires the use of handguns, holsters and other
equipment suitable for concealed carry self-defense. With that in mind, and
keeping the shooters' best interests in mind, IDPA's founders established
equipment requirements that are based on commonly available firearms and gear,
allowing individuals the opportunity to compete with minimal investment."
Generally, both IDPA and USPSA matches require a minimum caliber of 9mm/38 SPL,
which are necessary for steel targets.
it would be a good idea to offer an "Intro to Action Pistol" clinic for those
who are new to the sport.
