.Competition Pistol 1.

The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. It was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The organization now boasts membership of more than 20,000, including members in 50 foreign countries.

One of the unique facets of this sport is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun, challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical gear and practical guns may be used competitively. An interested person can spend a minimal amount on equipment and still be competitive.

Learn and practice combat pistol skills under time pressure and competitive scoring. You will safely draw from holster, shoot on the move and from cover, as well as engage multiple targets and no shoot decisions in scenarios not available while shooting in lanes.

Objectives:

gun management from the vehicle to the range
competition safety procedures
drawing from a holster and acquiring a target
holstering the gun
engaging targets in tactical priority and tactical sequence
target transitions
slide-lock reloads
tactical reloads with retention
proper use of cover
shooting on the move (forward, backward, laterally)
shooting strong hand, weak hand, and freestyle
muzzle control while competing
scoring targets

GEAR REQUIREMENTS:

A properly functioning, safe handgun, caliber .22 LR or larger
Three magazines (minimum 7 round capacity per magazine)
A strong-side belt holster that covers the trigger guard. Holsters must retain the firearm during any required movement, must cover the trigger of a holstered gun, must point to the ground when the firearm is holstered, and must be carried at belt level. Shoulder holsters, fanny packs, etc are not permissible.
Belt carrier for at least one magazine
Cover garment (jacket, large shirt or vest which covers the handgun)
Eye and ear protection (can be provided free of charge at The Range)
Baseball cap (highly recommended to prevent ejected cases from falling on face and neck)
100 rounds of ammunition

Course material and skill development is oriented toward IDPA matches, however, the skills and safety practices covered will apply equally well to the other handgun or multi-gun competitions (such as ACTION matches here at The Range weekly). Speed and progression of training will depend on the number of students and their skill level though the basis of the course will always remain the same

Gun and gear rentals are available for use during class. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to start time of training to be fitted for proper firearm and gear needed for the class. All firearms rented must be accompanied by our ammo. No outside ammo is allowed through rental firearms.
