what's the best way to get an orientation on IDPA? any sessions planned for newbies? I have read the rule book and have a lot of questions, especially after watching some of the events on Outdoors channel. I have several friends that want to do this, and we all have questions on how things work, what holsters are legal, etc.

 

We've talked about doing an 'intro to idpa' class, but until that happens, just come on out to the next match. We'll do a new shooter orientation to get you started safely, then show you how to have fun with the sport.

Bring whatever gear you may have, except for shoulder, crossdraw, or small of the back holsters (safety isssues). Don't worry about what's legal for the first match. You can see a large sample of what everyone else is using and get a better idea of what might work for you. Some of us will even have holsters, mag pouches, etc that you can use for the day if you don't have anything to bring.

Ammo is a different story...we don't share ammo well, cause we usually don't bring enough for ourselves!
reading the rule book is a good start, but personally, I learn better by talking with and watching others.

 

Nearly any 9mm, 40, or 45 ACP modern pistol will be just fine, although I did shoot a match once with a guy who shot a genuine WWII Luger!!

Anyway, you should have at least three magazines, a mag pouch, and a decent holster. If you are shooting a Glock, M&P, etc., a lot of shooters prefer a kydex OWB. Bladetech, Blackhawk, etc....

Like trcubed said....a lot of the shooters will help if you need some assistance. I promise, once you shoot the first match, you will be hooked!!

Next match is this Saturday February 11.

4 Stages?
What is the match fee?

I'll probably drive down for the match, havent shot IDPA in forever.

 

should be six stages, just got the email from amp and the fee is $15. I shot it last month but wont be able to make this one beause im shooting the Ironman match. H2O is a great match and has a great turnout, give it a try.

 

6 stages.

 

Amp...what time are we setting up Friday?
I can bring a cascader, swinger, clamshell, peek-a-boo...etc...etc...

There will be a vendor there Saturday selling hotdogs/hambugers/drinks etc.

 

Got it.. will be there..

 

I wish I could help set up but that work thing gets in the way ... see you guys Sat. morning.

 

We just finished putting up the stages, gonna be fun.

 

You guys have fun, work has me away again. Did I mention 356 and a wakeup yet?

 

Had a good time... shot like crap...springer had a little hickup (probably more me than the gun).....

 

49 shooters in the cold. I think the vendor sold a lot of coffee!

 

Steffy and I are both sick, so we couldnt make it.
