International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) matches are held on the third Saturday of each month. The Match Director is Chief Hutchinson Email: CHutchinson15@sc.rr.com , Phone 843-870-3603 and the Assistant Director is Bobby Albert Email: Bobbya13@hotmail.com, Phone 843-875-1550.
IDPA is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. 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 main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship. 'Competition only' equipment is not permitted in this sport.
If you are interested in defensive shooting or if you have a concealed weapons permit, visit one of our matches. A New Shooter Briefing video can be viewed at www.gadpa.com/index.php/ipda/new-shooter-briefing
Registration is at 9:15 a.m. and the match begins at 10:00 a.m. Match fee is $15. Please have the correct change or pay by check. You may shoot your first match without being a member of IDPA, but IDPA rules require membership in IDPA thereafter in order to participate in future matches. Proof of IDPA membership will be required at registration, so be sure to bring your valid-IDPA membership card.
