Permian Basin IDPA

IDPA as a sport is quite simply the use of practical equipment including full charge service ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in IDPA events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No “competition only” equipment is permitted in IDPA matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his equipment or gamesmanship. More information about IDPA rules and goals can be found at www.idpa.com .

If you are a new shooter to IDPA, you will need some kind of cover, a long shirt or jacket. You will need a holster that fits your gun, 2 -3 magazines and some way to carry them. And finally between 100 -150 rounds of ammo.

Here at MSA we hold club matches on the 2nd Saturday of each month. We set-up Friday before the match starting at 5 pm till dark. We always need help on Friday. On Saturday registration starts at 7:00 am and closes at 8:30 am! Shooting will start around 9:00 am or as soon as the stages are finished being set-up. These times may change do to season or weather.

We hold the scenario meetings to pick and design the stages to be shot, 2 Mondays before the match at 6:30 pm. They are held at the MSA Shotgun Range (between Midland and Odessa at 5911 S FM 1788). Those scenarios can be found here.
