Did you guys know that I.D.P.A.(International Defensive Pistol Association) is a great way to train,compete,
and be put under pressure,for shooting from concealed carry???

It only costs around $35 a year to join,and you can go a few times without being a member,to see if you like it.

And there are clubs all over the U.S.A.

International Defensive Pistol Association

They put you in life like scenarios ,where you draw from concealed carry,to resolve the problem.

How many of you guys have tried this??????

Give it a shot,you will love it.

Steve.........

Steve thanks for the nudge! I have looked at this several times and not followed thru. Sent a email to our local guys to see what it is about.

I like the part about stock equipment! I have far to much into some of the toys let alone start custom building more.

Thanks Harvey

Went out and watch the final 2 relays of a match with 6 scenarios maybe 55 shooters. Can not figure out TPD vs Time and how that relates to score.

I hunt coyotes this time of year so missed the breifings. Will give it a go in April after Coyote season over.

Thanks for the heads up about the sport.

I've been kicking around the idea of trying this for awhile. I think I'll give it a go. Thanks for posting.

I shoot IDPA every once in a while. I prefer USPSA just cuz i think it's much more exciting. IDPA is good practice since you are shooting from concealment, and your supposed to use cover and all that. Oh and you can shoot it as much as you want without being a member, you will just be un-classified and just have to pay the range fees at the club youre shooting at.

Locally we have IDPA matches a few times per month. I plan on going next week to watch. I intend to participate after that. I think it is a great way to train.
