I never knew what it actually was, until today. Sitting here bored and looked it up on the Google machine and I'm interested in checking it out..

 

Is there anything coming up that I can spectate and see if it would be something I'd like to do? I'm in Monmouth County but don't mind a drive.

3rd Sunday of the month we have IDPA matches at Somerset County Fish & Game in Bridgewater.

Rather than spectate, bring your gun and shoot. We are very new-shooter friendly and IDPA does not require a ton of equipment. Just a holster that covers the trigger, three magazines and one double or two single mag pouches. A good stiff belt that fits the keepers on whatever pants you'll be wearing will help.

 

Go to the IDPA website and find the link to the rules and read over them.

 

If you do intend to shoot, you do have pre-register as participation is limited due to range and time constraints.

 

Adios,

But before that.... You have a uspsa lite match in shongum, on first sat of the month. Then you have uspsa at central jersey on the second Sunday of the month.

Can you use 9mm carbines at the OB IDPA events? I thought I heard this but have not confirmed?

Interesting.. Thanks for the info.

 

Gotta talk to the wife. She won't be happy about another yearly dues fee lol

You can shoot IDPA a time or two before you have to join.

And you don't have to join the ranges. Just the shooting sport organization...IDPA, USPSA, etc. Runs I think around $25-35 a year for each organization.

Check out IDPA first, since it requires less equipment. IF you decide to try-out USPSA please go to a practice match first so you know what you're doing and what's expected equipment & safety wise. Less of a chance of getting DQ'd at a practice match since there is less movement (stages are smaller) and it's more beginner-friendly. Also some clubs' full day matches can get quite involved.

 

Upside is best time to join USPSA is at a regular monthly match: Pay $40.00 to join the national association and shoot the match for free (at least that's the way it used to be a while ago. Someone correct me if I'm wrong).

 

Remember that smooth is fast and be safe & have fun!

This is so true, perfect place to get your feet wet, very friendly atmosphere and a lot less pressure than a regularly USPSA match.

I'm going to come check it out for the day. I'll be checking the site for the next day.

If you are safe... the monthly Shongum uspsa match is quite easy to get into.
