Welcome to the Front Range IDPA©  Website

 

The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. It was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The organization now boasts membership of more than 20,000, including members in 50 foreign countries.

One of the unique facets of this sport is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun, challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical gear and practical guns may be used competitively. An interested person can spend a minimal amount on equipment and still be competitive.

The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship. “Competition only” equipment is not permitted in this sport.

 

FRIDPA encourages shooters to practice their gun handling skills with commonly carried firearms. Many everyday carry firearms do not fit into the competition divisions so another division is supported:


SPD - Specialty Division (All firearms must be safe and serviceable.  This division allows cartridges smaller than 9 mm, activated lasers, non-illuminated mounted lights, and other pistols which do not fit into the other competition divisions.  All other IDPA equipment rules apply for holsters and loading device holders as well as their placement on the body)

 

Match Cancellation Procedure

 

We will post a cancellation notice on our website ( www.fridpa.com ), in our forum (https://www.ar-15.co/forums/114-Shooting-Sports-and-Events ) and send out emails (once you attend your first match and have requested to be added to our email list).  We try to make the Go/No Go call the night before the match so check the website/forum for cancellations the night before the match and before you head out to the match on the morning of the 2nd Saturday & 3rd Sunday.

  • OR has shot IDPA matches elsewhere that has a safety program acceptable to Front Range IDPA© and the Match Director there could be contacted for verification.
     
 

Camera Policy

 

Front Range IDPA© has a camera policy that if a non-shooter/non-member wants to come to a match and take pictures, movies, likenesses, etc., of the match/shooters, they must seek and obtain prior approval from Front Range IDPA© B.O.D.

Also, if prior permission to trespass on a given range is granted by
Front Range IDPA©, this shall not be construed as permission to take photographs, movies, likenesses, etc., of any individual shooter without their own verbal or written permission.

If you are a
Front Range IDPA© shooter/member, ask permission before taking photos/movies of your fellow shooters. If someone/organization shows up at a range during our matches to take photographs, movies, likenesses, etc., without obtaining prior permission from Front Range IDPA©
, they will be asked to leave immediately.

 

Course of Fire Submission

 

FRIDPA encourages members to submit Courses of Fire, when your CoF is used you shoot that match free.  Please use the sample CoF as an example of the format required.  Please refer to the 2017 Rulebook for guidelines of CoF design.  Please submit your CoF to CoF@FRIDPA.com
