Competitions

Smith & Wesson IDPA League

Defensive pistol shooting as a sport is quite simply the use of practical equipment including full charge service ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defensive scenarios. Shooters competing in Defensive Pistol events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. The Smith & Wesson Shooting Sports Center is host to the IDPA Winter Nationals in late February.

“Try-a-Gun”

Use of a handgun, one box of ammunition and three targets. Please call for pricing .
For $20.00 any non-member can use one of our state-of-the-art lanes with his or her own handgun.
