INTERNATIONAL DEFENSIVE PISTOL ASSOCIATION (IDPA)

IDPA as a sport is quite simply the use of practical equipment including full-charge service ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in IDPA events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No “competition only” equipment is permitted in IDPA matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his equipment or gamesmanship.

To participate in IDPA matches, you need a reliable pistol, quality side holster and additional loading devices (Magazines for Pistols or Speedloaders for Revolvers) There are a few equipment rules associated with IDPA. You can get more details on the IDPA website. We shoot the second Saturday of every month. We setup at 7:00AM, start shooting at 8:30AM and are usually finished by noon.
