I shot my first IDPA classifier over the weekend. SSP category (stock M&P9) and ended up with a final score of 139.26, mid-range Sharpshooter class. I would like to make Expert as quickly as I can, so I figured I would ask the IDPA gurus here what skills I should concentrate the most on in practice to get the most improvement. Here is the breakdown of my performance.
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
String 1: 3.25 String 1: 5.23 String 1: 23.15
String 2: 3.24 String 2: 4.05 String 2: 26.23
String 3: 3.25 String 3: 8.90 String 3: 9.27
String 4: 7.59 String 4: 6.26
String 5: 3.93
String 6: 7.60
String 7: 7.31
Stage times: 36.17 24.44 58.65
Points down
T1: -1 T1: -7 T1: -4
T2: -2 T2: -7 T2: -3
T3: -1 T3: -12 T3: -3
Total time: 119.26, Points Down: 40
I had no misses, just too many -1 and a couple of -3 on stage 2.
