IDPANL is pleased to announce an Introduction to IDPA event, scheduled for Sunday, 2 June. Join us anytime from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to learn about action shooting and to try this exciting and dynamic sport.
IDPA is a handgun-centric shooting sport where courses of fire (or stages) are a mix of drills (standards) meant to improve and challenge your handgun skills as well as simulated self-defense scenarios. It was designed to be enjoyable to shooters of all skill levels, emphasizing social interaction and camaraderie rather than competition equipment or gamesmanship. If you’re bored of shooting bullseyes at static paper targets, or want to try shooting on the move, or to improve or expand your handgun skills, or you want to combine shooting with creative scenarios, then this is the sport for you.
Handgun shooting is of course the primary focus of the sport, but our club also regularly hosts events that include shotguns, pistol caliber carbines, and rifle caliber carbines. Even, on occasion, military surplus firearms and the guns of the Old West. Reactive steel targets, moving targets, disappearing targets, we have it all.
The agenda of the day will include a review of safety principles, some of the more important rules, scoring, and live fire stages.
First time and seasoned shooters are welcome! No previous experience is necessary and all equipment will be available on site. You will need to supply your own ammunition, the most popular choices being 9x19mm, .40S&W and .45ACP. 100 rounds will suffice if you intend to try all of the available courses of fire.
If you want to bring your own centerfire pistol and gear, that’s okay too, but please leave it in your vehicle until directed by a Safety Officer. All live fire shooting will be conducted under the immediate supervision of one or more qualified Safety Officers.
There is no fee, but advance registration is encouraged, so that we can have a fair idea of how many people are attending. Please send an e-mail to ‘idpainnl@gmail.com’ to indicate your interest.
Just a reminder that Wednesday, May 22nd is our first evening sporting clays for 2024. Unless, the weather is terrible it will go ahead.
A snack is available for $5 (including juniors). Registration and shooting opens at 4 pm but you can come later depending on your work schedule. We will shoot as many targets as the evening light allows. Target fees are $16 or 2 card punches. Juniors shoot fees are half price.
Note that beginning May 11th, punch cards will increase from $80 to $90 for 12 punches. A round of 50 clays is 2 punches.
Remember to bring your ammo (#7 1/2 shot or smaller) as well as eye and ear protection. All members welcome.
