What is IDPA?

International 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 the individual, not their equipment or gamesmanship.

Carbine Training with Dave Harrington -- May 2nd and 3rd

Shooters, come join an exclusive carbine training course taught by Dave "Super Dave" Harrington, a former Special Forces Counter-Terror Operator and Trainer, and IPSC/USPSA and IDPA Master May 2 and 3, 2008 at the Worcester Pistol & Rifle Club, Boylston, MA. (www.wprclub.com). This is an intermediate to advanced level course.

In addition to the need for an AR-15 (or similar carbine), 1,000 rounds plus of ammo, four or more magazines, a cleaning kit and a first aid and trauma kit, you should also plan to bring your defensive pistol, holster, mag pouches, mags, and at least 500 rounds of ammo for your pistol, and at least 1,000 rounds for your rifle.

The cost of this course is $350, payable to me at my office address as listed below. For your convenience, you may pay the fee by cash, check or a credit card. Space is limited. You must pay the fee in advance to reserve a slot for yourself. I expect this class will fill up quickly.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like more detailed information such as the course description and equipment list.
