their own match ammo for this rea- son. Since the splitting of revolver divisions in 2005, every single Na- tional SSR Championship has been won with a K-frame S&W 4" (the maximum barrel length allowed for revolvers in IDPA). The champions prefer the K-frame’s smaller cylin- der because there’s “less steel and more hole,” allowing for slightly faster reloads. Curt Nichols has used a K-frame to win the Nation- al SSR Championship for the last three consecutive years.
Lure Of The Game Each stage represents a scenario,
and except for the Classifier, you’ll rarely see a stage repeated at a giv- en club. (Though occasionally, a stage will be so challenging someone from another club will copy it, usu- ally with fair attribution, to run at their own match.) The more expen- sive the entry fee, as at an officially- sanctioned championship, the more elaborate you can expect the stages to be. In just two matches in the last few weeks before writing this — the Indiana State Championships and the Carolina Cup — I’ve had turning

targets and “clamshell
targets” ex-
posed to me for no more than a sec- ond apiece, shots around cars, shots fired inside vehicles (including a “hijacked” school bus), fast-moving targets, and barely visible targets. Sometimes targets are inside actual automobiles, and some behind or astride actual motorcycles. (Yes, the gas tanks are empty!) You also, of course, have the
chance to shoot along with some of the great national champion shoot- ers. Most of us won’t get to golf against Tiger Woods. In IDPA, we do get to shoot against Dave Sevi- gny and other great champions, head-to-head on the same course of fire. That, by itself, is worth the price of admission. At local match- es, entry fees range from $10 to $20 to shoot four to six or even more stages, which would each cost us far more to set up on our own range. This way it’s fast, it’s convenient, and we get to watch top shooters run it, teaching us lessons on how to cut time, enhance accuracy and tactically “play the angles.” A trip to the website,
www.idpa. com, will let you download the 82-
page rule book, and learn a lot about how the sport is run. A look inside the game, courtesy of its practitio- ners, is available at
www.idpafo-
rum.com. At the Gun Rights Radio Network,
http://gunrightsradio.com, you’ll find several firearms-related podcasts that you can download to your computer or iPod, at least two of which cover IDPA frequently. One is The Gun Dudes,
www.gundudes. com, and another is the ProArms Podcast (
www.proarmspodcast.com), which even has a “child board” for IDPA topics on its section of the Gun Rights Radio Network forum. Check out IDPA. Give it a shot, so
to speak. You probably already own at least one suitable gun and holster. You’ll quickly see why so many of us have found IDPA addictive. About the author: Mas Ayoob
has been shooting IDPA virtually since its inception, and was the first Five-Gun Master in the sport. He has held state champion IDPA titles in Florida, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin, and regional cham- pion titles for New England, the Midwest, the Tri-State region and Florida/Georgia. *
