What to Expect:
IDPA is a shooting sport that uses practical equipment (including full charge service ammunition) to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios
Shooters will be introduced to IDPA rules and techniques, as well have the chance to practice defensive shooting skills in simulated “self defense” scenarios. We will practice the following skills in a simulated match:
• Drawing from “concealment”
• Shooting while moving
• Using appropriate cover while engaging targets
• Shooting from kneeling or prone positions
• Shooting at “moving” targets
• Emergency (slide lock) reloads
• Tactical reloads

What Equipment do I need?
• Service type pistol or revolver of 9mm/.38 special or lager caliber. If your handgun is
suitable for self-defense use, it will probably be competitive for IDPA matches.
• Practical concealed carry type holsters are stipulated for IDPA use. A common service pistol or revolver such as a Beretta 92F, Glock 17/22, Sig 226, Colt 1911A1, S&W 686 or
Ruger GP-100 carried in a common pancake style holster is all that is needed to be competitive in IDPA matches.
• You should also bring two extra magazines (or speed loaders) and two magazine holders for your belt.
• Concealment Garment
• At least 150 rounds of ammunition

For those of you who have been wanting to get into the shooting sports, but don't know where to start, or if you have the right equipment, or if you will embarrass yourself, this is absolutely the best way to start. The guys at TCSL are great and put a lot of time in trying to help expose new shooters to the sport.

IDPA is a lot of fun and a great way to practice your pistol handling skills.

+1. Took the class 2 summers ago and it was very fun, informative and safe.

Tried it once there the year before with my friends. Mike and the guys took us aside answered our questions and it was literally a blast.

Trying to talk my friends into going with me again.

Try it, you'll like it!

I took this class today and it was a great time. Very informative and the instructors were very friendly and patient. They made the experience a lot of fun, and we all learned a lot along the way.
I'm looking forward to my first real match...and I'm sure glad I did this Intro event before hand.
