Introduction to IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association)
Come join us for an introduction to IDPA on Sept 7, 9AM. We’ll start with a short briefing on safety standards, range commands, target engagement and match scoring. We’ll discuss preferred equipment for an actual match. We’ll cover the basics of a range set up. Then we’ll actually engage targets on this practice range. Shooters can run the course as many times as time and energy allows. Bring your favorite handgun, ammo and holster.
Our Belton Gun Club has been hosting IDPA events for some time. Our August event drew nearly 60 competitors from all skill levels. The new competition bays set up very well for these matches.
As the title indicates, the IDPA matches simulate self-defense scenarios and real-life encounters. IDPA was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The organization now boasts membership of more than 25,000, including members in 70 foreign countries.
There is no charge for our introductory event. Any skill level is quite welcome. Our principle objective is to have fun as you develop and refine personal defense skills. Hope to see you there, and maybe in future competitions, too.
