In July of 2012, I shot my first IDPA Match at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club. I enjoyed it and thought that it was a nice change of pace from the USPSA Matches that I had been shooting prior. When the USPSA Season geared down for the winter, I filled the holes in my calendar with IDPA. While I don’t have a ton of IDPA experience, I noticed a trend develop in the matches that I shot. The scenarios, …

A couple of weeks back there was a bit of a stir in the local IDPA scene. News broke that Guthsville Rod and Gun Club was canceling their IDPA Program and attendees were upset. The information being spread pointed to the Guthsville Board of Directors being behind the cancellation of the program. About a week after I wrote a long winded post making villains out of the Guthsville Board of Directors, I started to hear tid-bits of information that things …

During the January Ontelaunee IDPA Match there were some issues with wind gusts. On several occasions props had to be pulled out of the mud and re-set so that shoots could continue with the match. With weather forecasts for the February Ontelaunee IDPA Match calling for similar wind conditions, changes had to be made. Dave Bair, Ontelaunee IDPA Match Director, slashed the round count for the match and opted to shoot six stages instead of the usual eight. All moving …
On the weekend spanning May 18th and 19th of 2013, I will be attending the Burt Schaffer Memorial Sanctioned IDPA Match at Ontelaunee Rod and Gun Club. I am pleased to announce that I will be shooting this match as a Stogie Review Sponsored Shooter, much like I did the 2012 Liberty Match at Valley Forge. Having shot a handful of matches at Ontelaunee, I know that Match Director, Dave Bair, puts on an excellent monthly match. I am very …
