D'oh!

Hmm. Well I'm off to ask the wife if I can buy a few mags. Is there anything else I need?

I am there regularly. New shooters are common and they will take good care of you. My son, now 16, started shooting last year and everyone has been very encouraging. If you are new to IDPA you can shoot what you bring (within reason) but if it doesn't comply with the rules then your score is invalid... No big deal really for a newby. Join us!

Hmm. At this point I don't care about my score, I just want to get started.

Do they shoot limited 10? I think I could be legal and shoot that. I'll just get scored minor with my X-5 9mm.

Are you a member Buck?
I have sent two or three membership inquiry emails because of my disabilities I wouldn't be able to compete but would like to join for range access. Wanted to know if there were options for disabled to meet the service requirments. I have my two daughters that want to try competition and would be willing to pitch in also. No response from them and can't handle sitting through the monthly meetings lately. Does the membership committe have a phone number?

Thanks

I do not know how to help you reach the membership committee, but I know a few members and will see what I can do. I do want to point out that your daughters do not need to be members to shoot in competitions. Matches are open to the public, membership is only necessary if you want open range access.

Hope that helps!

Josh is correct regarding non-members shooting in matches.

No Limited 10 division in IDPA (that's a USPSA division). There is also no major/minor power factor per se, but each IDPA division does have a minimum power factor.

IDPA has the following divisions:

Custom Defensive Pistol
Stock Service Pistol
Enhanced Service Pistol
Stock Service Revolver
Enhanced Service Revolver

Tell us what gun and caliber you shoot, and we can tell you what division is appropriate. Also, you'll need a regular carry-type holster, belt carriers for two (and only two) magazines, and a concealment garment.
You can find the details of each in the rules at International Defensive Pistol Association.
