IDPA Club Starting

[spanky]

Do they have a division that allows the shooter to fill mags to capacity and use a red dot?

If they're true IDPA, they don't.

Thanks I wanted to make sure.
I love the idea of a defensive pistol match but why change the way I carry for it? At the moment I don't carry a dot on my pistol but let's face it more and more people are adding them to carry guns so I feel they should update the rules. I also think they should allow filling stock mags up and split the divisions up by the gun size.

Not starting with a full magazine goes against the grain.

If you don't like the rules, don't play the game. I don't agree with all the rules but have to abide by them if I want to play. The best thing to do is join whatever organization you want to play in, become active and change the rules from within. Part of the reason for this rule is for the guys that live in a state that only allow 10 rounds in the gun. They are trying to keep everyone on a level playing.

I think the guys in the states that don't allow more then 10 rds in the guns should start making better choices when they vote.

But really how hard would it be to add a division for people to shoot what and how they carry every day?
Can a local club add an "outlaw" division and just not count those scores with the IDPA scores? It may get more $20.00 bills in the club account for buying props and targets keeping the club going longer.

Another IDPA rule that the USPSA guys are not used to is that you cannot drop a mag that still has rounds in it. You have to keep it with you. Plus I believe that you can only have 3 mags on your person at a time.

The first match I ever shot was an IDPA match out at Tangi with LSP972.

How would the NFL work out if folks just added and deleted the rules they didn't like? Really folks, get with the program. Rules are there for a reason. If you don't like the rules either work to change them or don't play. It's simple. Why must you change the rules before playing the game. Is it becasue you think it's better for you or the game?

Why promote something as defensive pistol shooting then tell me not to shoot the way I carry my defensive pistol? If you tell everyone that doesn't like the rules to work to change them or don't play the sport will suffer. This is a discussion forum and we are talking about what we like and don't like about the sport what's wrong with that?

Hey Guys,

They want to start an IDPA club & shoot by those rules. Not a lets shoot what ever makes Joe happy today match. All I said was either play by the rules or go some where else. Isn't that part of the discussion.

I agree. It will be a long road getting a new club off the ground. Lets give them all the help we can.

 

[jbonnette]

Sounds like fun. I'll try to make it out with a few friends.

 

[kz45]

Leave me out of it!!

If the guys that are gonna run the club can answer this for me.
Is it possible for a "outlaw" division to be added to the match that allows for a person to load mags up and use Optics if enough people willing to sign up for that division?

Edit to add: And allows for dropping a loaded mag.

I'm not an IDPA guy but I know for a fact that a sanctioning body like USPSA would never allow something like this (an "outlaw" division) as part of an official match, and can't imagine IDPA would either. Now in the past we've seen man-on-man shotgun competition, a rifle stage or two, etc. AFTER the official match is complete as a completely separate competition. Kinda miss that from a few years back but then I've been shooting flying orange things and feathered beasties recently instead. Thinking it might be fun to check out this match, though, and if so, I'm happy to play by the rules, 'cause that's what makes it a game.

EDITED TO ADD: Hey organizers, correct your dates, May 21 is still a Wednesday, not a Saturday on my calendar.

I can understand that. Best of luck to this club getting started. I will keep an eye on the IDPA website for any changes that suggest that we can shoot what/how we carry everyday.

You know, a possible option for you for with your preferred self-defense setup with a dot would be shooting Open division USPSA just for trigger time and not worrying about being competitive with the Open blasters with big stick mags. As long as you follow safety rules (and at the discretion of the match director regarding holsters—and remember USPA has no rule forbidding IWB but a floppy snap-on that pulls out at the draw would probably raise official eyebrows, and appropriately) you get to run and gun to your heart's content. I've seen some SWAT guys from N.O. come to a three gun match and drop to their knees to reload, just like they trained. No problem as long done safely…in USPSA we still call it "freestyle" don't we .
