IDPA near Huntington/Fort Wayne

[CATDaddy47]

I’m looking for a club that holds IDPA matches! I’m looking to become a member of the club as well! Not just use you for comps. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

I don't remember the exact name but Warsaw has a club that hosts a good amount of shooting sports.

Edit: Found it.

USPSA NE of FtW near Harlan, 3rd Sundays, announcements posted in this sub-forum.
club is Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver.

warsaw is a Very good club.

Nearer to Huntington is Hillside in Roanoke. Not sure they are doing any pistol matches, they used to host 3-gun

a little farther south is Atlanta Conservation Club, Atlanta IN. They do IDPA.

I appreciate everyone’s suggestions. I had a feeling Atlanta would be my best bet for IDPA. Am I wrong for thinking IDPA will have less....”pretentious” members that USPSA....or is this just something I’ve made up in my mind?

Preregistration required.

Delusion create in your mind!!!!! LOL

I shoot both and can tell little difference as the word Pretentious would go. But you have to understand some are there for fun and some are there to win. Some are Nice and some don't care. If you go there to enjoy yourself and improve your shooting you will have fun. If you go there to be concerned what others think of you then not so much.

Either discipline can contain a variety of personalities. We are people. The people that have replied to this thread are the same people you would see at the Warsaw, Fort Wayne, and Atlanta USPSA matches.

Find what you like and have fun.

Not sure of your background in pistol competitions but steel challenge is a really good first match to get used to how matches are run. You stand in one spot for the most part and shoot the targets.

IDPA is more defined in how you have to shoot. Generally everyone shooting a stage will shoot it a very similar way to satisfy the rules. Scoring is time plus deductions made for not hitting the best scorning zone on the target. USPSA requires you to formulate a plan and run it. It requires you to think about how you can best run the stage. Scoring is Hit Factor. Points earned per second.

I’m coming from a small cowboy action shooting background. A lot of older gentlemen that are there for a good time and the score doesn’t matter. A real “Whose line is it anyways” type of feel. I don’t care too much of what others think, as long as the majority are cool and willing to help out then, I’m happy. I’m wanting to get into it for myself and my skills, nothing more.

no, that’s ridiculous.

give both a try. I haven’t shot IDPA in ~12 years; once I tried uspsa I learned I like it much better. Generally, longer more challenging courses that you get to decide how to shoot.

I figured it was. I gained that thought due to some of the outlandish pistols some guys compete with. (Open class obviously) I’m actually leaning towards USPSA given the fact that I can plan out the course and run it the way that I feel is best/I’m most comfortable with.

I do not have enough posts to PM you sir. I’ve only been on here two days. I will probably come out next season. I still need a few odds and ends for a shoot. I might come out and watch a match though. That way I don’t come in completely blind. I appreciate all your help thus far. As soon as I have enough posts, I’ll be pm’ing you!

RVB will set you up for USPSA but the Allen County Practical Defense League also shoots at FWRR. I think the second Saturday. A founding member was Clint Smith before he moved to Texas.
