Introduction to IDPA at CDPC

**Marius@Jizni** · 03-01-2018, 14:47

At Centurion Defensive Pistol Club we are very excited about the new process that will allow non-members to participate in a number of level 1 shoots.

Our 13 January club shoot will be dedicated to introducing new shooters to the game. It is always nice to try new things in a group, so we'll squad them together and throw some more experienced shooters into the mix to show them the ropes.

Courses of fire have been designed specifically to introduce Prospective Shooters to all the different aspects of IDPA shooting, without overwhelming anybody. Every stage will highlight something new, and by the end of the day everybody, from the accountant to the fireman, should recognise something that excites them. The format should also be ideal for existing shooters who want their Significant Others to experience their sport, even if they don't really plan to join. Remember, it is the last weekend before all the chaos of school athletics, hockey practice etc resumes.

Formal notice to go out soon. In the mean time, contact me at training@cdpc.co.za for inquiries.

I too was once an existing shooter's significant other

This is a very cool initiative.

Thanks guys.

We'll work around what equipment you have available as much as possible. Minimum would be a pistol with two mags. Work on 100 rounds to account for the pre-match assessment, the standard club match and some extra rounds. Your license, of course.

A holster and mag pouches would be next on the list, but we will have some available or work around it. If you don't have a holster, a gun bag or box to keep the pistol in between stages. If you don't have mag pouches, we'll have some available, or you can work from your pockets.

If you want to, you can bring some sort of concealment garment (jacket / shirt hanging loose over pistol) but you won't miss out on anything if you shoot without it.

We'll have eye and ear protection available, but please bring if you have.

Hat, sunscreen, something to snack on and enough to drink. That should be it?
