What is
IDPA?
IDPA is an organization that sponsors shooting sports
simulating “real world” self-defense scenarios.
Shooters competing in IDPA events use practical handguns
that are suitable for self-defense use and not for
“competition only” use. The main goal in IDPA matches
are to test the skill and ability of an individual, not
their equipment or gamesmanship.

IDPA Scores
Goals of IDPA- Promote safe and proficient use of
guns and equipment suitable for self-defense use.
- Provide a level playing field for all
competitors to test the skill and ability of the
individual, not their equipment or gamesmanship.
- Provide separate divisions for
equipment and classifications for shooters, such
that guns with similar characteristics are grouped
together and people with similar skills compete only
against each other.
- Provide shooters with practical
and realistic courses of fire that simulate a
potentially life-threatening encounter or that tests
skills that would be required to survive a
life-threatening encounter.
- Offer a practical shooting sport
that is responsive to the shooters and sponsors,
with unprecedented stability of equipment rules.
- Offer a practical shooting sport that allows the competitors to concentrate
on the development of their shooting skills and fellowship with other likeminded
shooters.
