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!

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

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!!!
