IDPA folks can shoot long, they just choose their sport.
It would be like them saying, hey I bet an IHMSA couldn't shoot worth a flip in our sport.
That would be a mistake.
Discounting any competitive shooter is a mistake. Ones that take the time to compete and practice.
Shooting is all the same, just different venues.
FWIW we were highpower shooters, but crosstrained in a LOT of other sports.... having competed in a lot, there is a lot out there to learn. To be arrogant about your own sport isn't smart.
