PRACTICALLY SPEAKING: AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO IDPA AND DEFENSIVE HANDGUN SHOOTING

About the Author
Upon receiving his BS degree from Carnegie Tech and completing service as a Special Agent in U.S. Army Intelligence, Walt Rauch was a Special Agent with the U.S. Secret Service and an Investigator with the Warrant Unit, First Judicial District, PA, where he made over 2,000 felony arrests. He now operates his own consulting company, Rauch & Company, Ltd., for defense-weapon and tactical training. Rauch & Company services include expert witness testimony on firearms use and tactics.

Rauch is a co-founder of several shooting sports, including the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA), the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) and the National Tactical Invitational. In addition, he has served on the Board of Directors of USPSA, IDPA, the 1911 Society and the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors (IALEFI).

Rauch is also a writer and lecturer in the firearms field. He is published regularly in national and international publications including Combat Handguns, Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement and other Harris Publications specialty magazines, Primedia's Handguns, Guns & Ammo specialty magazines, POLICE AND SECURITY NEWS, Cibles (France) and Visier (Germany). He is the author of a book on self-defense, titled REAL-WORLD SURVIVAL! What Has Worked For Me.

The first-ever book written specifically for IDPA shooters, this is a how-to book that covers the history, philosophy, guns and gear of IDPA. Over 100 full-color photos illustrate the 80 oversized (8 1/2 x 11) pages, guiding the shooter from start to finish in gun and gear selection, as well as shooting techniques. Included are eight real-world courses of fire and, for the first time in print, the complete list of "Rauch's Rules for the Real World." This is a comprehensive manual explaining the "how" and "why" of IDPA matches from a real-world perspective.
