On Sunday November 19 we held a new shooters intro class for 17 shooters new to IDPA and, in most cases, new to action shooting. Everyone seemed to have a good time and learned our rules, safety procedures, etc. We also had 2 hours of range practice where all the students got to practice the techniques we discussed and demonstrated for them.
We welcome them to our club and to IDPA style shooting!
2007 Match Schedule
Regular monthly match dates in January, February and March are the 1st Sunday of the month. The IDPA classifier is scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in February. These regular matches and the Classifier will start at 5:00pm and are scheduled to end by 9:00pm.
Registration starts at 4:30pm and approved new shooters must attend the initial briefing at 4:45pm. Being approved means advance approval of your experience ( recent action shooting experience or tactical training like but not limited to Bill's, LFI, Gunsite or similar with the last three years. Contact the
president@twincitiesidpa.com if you have questions or want to explore alternatives) We want all shooters to arrive before 5:00pm to start set up. Mall security locks the entrance at 6:00pm so anyone arriving that late can not be admitted.

January 21st - Shooters wanting to become IDPA Safety Officers
We will be training a limited number experienced shooters wishing to become CSOs in January. This club training will NOT certify you as an IDPA Safety Officer but rather discuss and demonstrate the role, duties and techniques used by CSOs. You must have participated in at least a dozen IDPA matches and be Classified as at least a Marksman class shooter. The goal is provide some basic training and allow you to work our matches as SO's under the direction/observation of CSOs. Contact the president or match director to see if you qualify. We then plan to arrange for the regional certifier to meet with, train and evaluate folks these so they can become Certified.
March 18 - Tactical Match
Our current and former match director will create state and national match level courses to test the skills of our experienced shooters. Shooters must be Classified as Sharpshooter or higher or obtain a waiver form one of the Keiths.
