IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) is a form of action pistol shooting that is founded upon equipment and techniques that conform to real life self defense situations. It is well suited for stock type service pistols and revolvers and does not require a lot of high end equipment. To find out more about IDPA and the organization, visit the IDPA website at www.idpa.com
Ready Aim Fire holds a monthly IDPA match on the second Monday of each month. The match runs from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The format is open squadding which mean you can show up, shoot, and leave. Typically shooters can show up and shoot the match twice and be done within an hour. Please show up no later than 8:00 PM so that we can complete the shooting by 9:00.
Equipment needed for the match is as follows: A safe working pistol or revolver. A belt and belt holster that covers the trigger guard and holds the gun near the body. At least 3 speed loaders, moon clips (revolver) or magazines (auto) and holders to hold at least two of them on the belt. Of course if you have them, bring 4 or more as it will help move the match along quicker. The matches are typically 50 to 60 rounds, so bring a minimum of 75 for each match. If you plan on shooting the match more than once, adjust accordingly. Optionally, if you are planning on shooting in the full spirit of the sport, bring a concealment garment such as a vest, jacket or button down flannel so that you can start each stage in a concealed carry mode.

Safety is a top priority to Ready Aim Fire and the Safety Officers (SO's) who run the IDPA matches. We run a cold range while the match is in progress. Please do not enter the range with a loaded firearm. If you are law enforcement or a CCW holder, please inform the salesman at the counter and they can instruct you where to unload. While in the range you will only load your firearm under the supervision of a Safety Officer. Also, you may only handle your firearm under the supervision of a Safety Officer or at the designated Safe Table. NO AMMO is to be handled at the Safe Area, but you can load magazines, speed loaders, or moon clips anywhere else on the range.

Match Format: The match format is typically as follows. Generally we run 4 IDPA stages. The stages are overlapping, meaning we reuse targets from stages 1 and 2 for stages 3 and 4. If available, we will run two shooters at a time. Shooter 1 will shoot stage 1 and 2. Then shooter 2 will run stage 1 and 2. This gives the first shooter time to reload speed loaders, magazines, or moon clips. Then shooter 1 returns to shoot stage 3 and 4, followed by shooter 2 shooting stages 3 and 4. Check out the Stage Descriptions to see some of the match designs.
FEES: The fees to shoot the match are as follows. If you are a member of IDPA and / or a member of Ready Aim Fire, the match fee is $10.00 for the first run and $5.00 for each additional run. Otherwise, the match is $12.00 for the first run and $6.00 for each additional run.
If you've ever considered giving IDPA a try, this is the place. The staff will walk you through every step of the way and not only explain the rules, but will help with tips and suggestions on how to improve. Of course if you are already a serious competitor and do not want any assistance, just advise the SO ahead of time.
