Intro to IDPA Seminar
Many of our students ask how they can get started with competition pistol shooting. Among other shooting sports, although IDPA itself doesn't have minimum requirements to participate, we understand our students would like to be more prepared before going to their first match. This special interest seminar will give you an introduction to IDPA match and equipment rules along with covering the basic shooting principles that you generally find at matches: Drawing from concealment, reloads, multiple targets, movement, shooting while moving. After covering these skills, we will shoot the IDPA 5x5 classifier and a 4-5 stage match.
**We do not currently have this class on the schedule for 2022 or 2023. Please check back for future dates**
FAS has a long history with IDPA as we are club number C0023 and have been an IDPA club since IDPA was founded back in 1997. We hosted the first Washington State IDPA champion ship back in 1997 and hosted it in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
We also offer a longer, 3-Day IDPA Bootcamp class which covers this topic in greater detail.
