IDPA Has a ton more rules then USPSA, but is just as much fun. Been shooting IDPA for a little over 2 years.

So, is IDPA "easier" than USPSA as a means to get the feet wet in competitive shooting?
ETA: I see that DrHenley answered my question, as I was typing. Thanks! Last edited by LittleGator; 09-06-2014 at 10:42 PM.

Congrats, you finally got to put your gun in a holster, in the sunshine.
 I'm glad you didn't shoot the RO.Both games are fun. One is based on no rules in a gun fight the other is can you follow the rules in a gun fight. My obviously biased opinion. Three gun is the BOMB!!!

There are a number of reasons I prefer IDPA, but one of the two biggest impediments to my playing USPSA is having to crawl around on my knees which are way too old for that nonsense.
 I spent the first 5 or 6 IDPA matches just trying to run a clean match and shoot accurately, paying no attention to the timer. Once I got all the equipment issues ironed out and was not getting procedurals, I started speeding up. Some of the other reasons... IDPA attempts to do make you things in a way that might actually save your life. You can actually be competitive in IDPA with a gun you already own (USPSA has become an equipment race) The IDPA matches here are on Saturday (instead of Sunday like the USPSA matches - the other main impediment)
