What is Defensive Pistol Shooting?
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-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in Defensive Pistol events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No "competition only" equipment is permitted in Defensive Pistol matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his or her equipment or gamesmanship.
Why do we need another shooting sport?
Prior to the formation of Defensive Pistol, there was no place to compete and hone one's skill with equipment designed for and suitable for self-defense. Other shooting sports are just that, sports that have no relevance to self-defense. Defensive Pistol offers an exciting new forum for practical shooters in which truly practical equipment, techniques and courses of fire are mandated. Prior to Defensive Pistol there was no place at all to compete with common service pistols such as the Beretta, Glock or Sig. Nor was there a shooting sport where your concealed carry holster could also be your match holster without handicap. When you come to a Defensive Pistol match you cannot only use your duty/CCW equipment, you can be completely competitive with it! Other shooting sports have become equipment "races," Defensive Pistol will not. If you're interested in using truly practical pistols, drawn from practical holsters to solve challenging and exciting defensive shooting problems, then Defensive Pistol is the sport for you.
IDPA Practice Sessions:
The CCFSA will be holding IDPA practice sessions at the range every Wednesday evening from 5-7 pm starting April through November. These sessions will focus on practice for IDPA matches; will require a minimum of 100 rounds; and will focus on specific areas of interest for each session. Shooting the weekly practice sessions several times is encouraged.
This is a great opportunity for those of you have wanted to but have not shot an IDPA match! This is a fun sport and you will Have Fun!
Shooting will be from concealment for most practice sessions, so bring a cover garment. All CCFSA and IDPA rules will be in effect.
Cost will be nominal to cover the cost of targets and posters etc. $3.00 per club member and $5.00 for non CCFSA members.
The first practice session will involve standard exercises like drawing from concealment; weak and strong hand shooting; timed firing strings; reloads engaging multiple targets. Difficulty will be based on each shooters skill level. We will score target and share SO responsibilities.
