Thanks Aldo.  It is possible that the differences between IDPA and USPSA are enough that the board will allow the matches, and IDPA Nebraska only slightly alters their procedures to the board's liking.  It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

No problem, Fly.

I try my best to stay out of the politics of whatever may be the case with the types of shooting sports that are allowed or not at Ike's.  Maybe it's a finer line between Ike's perception of IDPA shooting and IDPA Nebraska's perception than I realize, and only time will tell.

IDPA Nebraska certainly didn't change anything with the spirit of IDPA solely so that we would obtain approval from Ike's.  I sincerely believe that what we proposed to them and how we answered their questions were with integrity and within the latitudes given by IDPA relative to their Course of Fire designs.

The indoor sessions that we have had thus far have been a great training ground for both safety officers and shooters who are relatively new to IDPA, even if it is on a smaller scale than what would be the case with an outdoor setting.  As long as the Safety Officers adhere to the safety principles and foundations of IDPA along with the range's safety rules during the overseeing of the matches, all should be okay for all parties in the long run.  Having a group of us successfully completing the IDPA Safety Officer Certification training should also lend to an even more positive experience.

I wholeheartedly concur with you that it will be interesting to see how it all works out. Hopefully what IDPA Nebraska does will help pave the way for more types of shooting  matches at Ike's as well as at other outdoor ranges in Nebraska.

Respectfully,

Aldo
