IDPA @ NPCCC

[VUPDblue]

Anyone ever shoot this? I'm going next Sunday with Cwood, and it'll be my first IDPA shoot. I was just wondering if anyone had ever shot this event at NPCCC. If you have, please share your thoughts.

I've never shot at that club, but I know some of the guys who shoot there. You should have a good, safe time there. Go ahead and let them know you're new to the game (and remind your squad's safety officer too) and they'll be able to guide you through the process.

And you should have hit the IDPA match at Wildcat with me yesterday!

IDPA has good safety rules, so hopefully you won't find a camerman among the targets when you're shooting a stage

 

[VUPDblue]

Oh, snap! Let me know when there's another IDPA shoot that you're going to and I'll tag along!

Will do!

I'm sorry I failed to invite you. I was talking about it with Craig and Hickman at my end of the table Friday night, but I should have invited your guys too.

Wildcat IDPA is 2nd Saturday of the month. I go whenever I can. AtlantaCC IDPA is 1st Saturday, but that conflicts with our steel matches at RileyCC and I can't usually make it.

I haven't gone, but I've always wanted to. That isn't too far from me either.

 

[VUPDblue]

Wanna come shoot with us on Sunday?

 

[turnandshoot4]

I'd love to. I am a little slow on what gear to have though. I'm considering shooting produciton with my p226 9mm. I have

4 mags, 2 have extended base plates. Will this be a problem?
Fobus paddle hoster
ammo

Am I missing anything?

The extended base plates could be a problem. The only other things you're missing is a magazine holder or two (if you run singles) and a cover garment (vest, jacket, etc.).

 

[VUPDblue]

Yeah, what Dave said. IDPA has it's own rules concerning equipment. You should check out the link I provided to see what's expected.

 

[Cwood]

Nick your link is incorrect.....

Here is the correct link.

North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton, Indiana

D'oh!

 

[turnandshoot4]

Hmm. Well I'm off to ask the wife if I can buy a few mags. Is there anything else I need?

I am there regularly. New shooters are common and they will take good care of you. My son, now 16, started shooting last year and everyone has been very encouraging. If you are new to IDPA you can shoot what you bring (within reason) but if it doesn't comply with the rules then your score is invalid... No big deal really for a newby. Join us!

[turnandshoot4]

Hmm. At this point I don't care about my score, I just want to get started.

 

[turnandshoot4]

Do they shoot limited 10? I think I could be legal and shoot that. I'll just get scored minor with my X-5 9mm.

 

[Revelations]

If I wasnt gonna be out of town this weekend Id meet you guys up there. Ive been wanting to check the place out.

Are you a member Buck?
I have sent two or three membership inquiry emails because of my disabilities I wouldn't be able to compete but would like to join for range access. Wanted to know if there were options for disabled to meet the service requirments. I have my two daughters that want to try competition and would be willing to pitch in also. No response from them and can't handle sitting through the monthly meetings lately. Does the membership committe have a phone number?

Thanks

I do not know how to help you reach the membership committee, but I know a few members and will see what I can do. I do want to point out that your daughters do not need to be members to shoot in competitions. Matches are open to the public, membership is only necessary if you want open range access.

Hope that helps!

Josh is correct regarding non-members shooting in matches.

No Limited 10 division in IDPA (that's a USPSA division). There is also no major/minor power factor per se, but each IDPA division does have a minimum power factor.

IDPA has the following divisions:

Custom Defensive Pistol
Stock Service Pistol
Enhanced Service Pistol
Stock Service Revolver
Enhanced Service Revolver

Tell us what gun and caliber you shoot, and we can tell you what division is appropriate. Also, you'll need a regular carry-type holster, belt carriers for two (and only two) magazines, and a concealment garment.
You can find the details of each in the rules at International Defensive Pistol Association.
