IDPA vs USPSA quick mental observation

After attending a class with Bob Vogel this weekend I was driving back home (the drive was 7 hours, so I had a lot of time to think!), and I realized the biggest mental difference between IDPA and USPSA. It’s not about the small things like reloads or cover. For the most part the movement and the shooting are also both the same.

In IDPA you have to remember how you’re told to shoot the stage. In USPSA you have to remember how you want to shoot the stage.
