The Marksman Indoor Shooting Range Hosts IDPA Match – October 11th, 2026
Are you ready to test your IDPA match shooting skills in a dynamic, competitive environment? The Marksman Indoor Shooting Range is excited to host an International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) match on Sunday, October 11th, 2026! Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting started with defensive shooting, this event is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, improve your skills, and connect with fellow shooting enthusiasts.
What is IDPA?
The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is a shooting sport that simulates real-world self-defense scenarios. Unlike traditional marksmanship competitions, IDPA challenges participants to engage targets from cover, reload under pressure, and navigate tactical shooting situations. Each stage is designed to test a shooter’s ability to think quickly and shoot accurately under stress, making it a great way to enhance both defensive and competition shooting skills.
At The Marksman Indoor Shooting Range, we are committed to providing a safe, competitive, and enjoyable shooting experience for everyone. Our IDPA match will follow official IDPA rules and scoring systems, ensuring a fair and challenging event for all participants.
