Welcome to the Northwest Florida Defensive Pistol Shooters!
We are
the local chapter of IDPA -- the International Defensive Pistol
Association. As stated on the IDPA website, "IDPA as a sport is
quite simply the use of practical equipment including full charge
service ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defense
scenarios. Shooters competing in IDPA events are required to use
practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense
use. No “competition only” equipment is permitted in IDPA matches since
the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his
equipment or gamesmanship."

|
Equipment: |
Each shooter must have equipment suitable
for self-defense (see www.idpa.com for
specifics). A minimum of two magazines and 100 rounds of ammunition
will be required, although three or more magazines makes the match go a
lot easier. The weapon must be drawn from a holster that meets IDPA
restrictions.
|
Side Matches: |
Each month we usually hold a side match
for either rifles or shotguns immediately following the pistol match. It
will be a stage of typical IDPA design, with targets ranging from
contact distance to the berm (approximately 100 yards). If you plan on
shooting this stage, please bring a center-fire rifle of your choice
with 2 magazines or a shotgun and approximately 40 rounds of ammo.
It will be totally open as to type of sights open, scope, red dot,
etc. and type of action bolt, semi-auto, <no
full auto allowed on the range> even single shot,
if you so desire :-). The only real requirement is that it
be a safe working firearm that you are familiar with. Please see
Shotgun Rules and
Rifle Match Rules for more details.
