Talk'in it Over
One of the pleasures of participating in UDPL events is the opportunity to
associate and learn from other UDPL shooters. In the photo above, Blake Huff
(2nd from left) fields questions about upcoming out-of-state matches from the
other shooters in his squad (left to right - Curtis
Bullock, Blake Huff, Michael Scott, Brandon Limb, Alan Scott and Jay Ostler.)
The UDPL offers a wide range of shooting events including:
IDPA Handgun Matches -
We offer a number of IDPA matches each year that include realistic scenarios that require proper defensive
tactics, as well as good gun handling and shooting skills. Match round counts
are usually somewhere between 100 -150 rounds. These matches offer the shooter a
wide variety of experiences such as:
Shooting while moving
Note: IDPA rules dictate that a shooter must join
the IDPA at or prior to shooting a Classifier match or their second IDPA match.
(Refer to Getting Started for
specifics.) IDPA membership is not required to shoot a 3-Gun or Non-IDPA
Handgun match.
These matches usually consist of 8 Courses Of Fire (COF) and often involve shooting steel
targets of various sizes and configurations including dueling-trees, poppers,
movers, etc. as well as paper IDPA style targets. Minimum round count for a recent
handgun match was 180.
Categories for these matches include:
TRM - Ten Round Maximum, no optics or
compensators
HiCAP - High capacity mags, no optics or compensators
REV - Revolver - 8-round max, no optics
REVOP - Revolver - 8-round max with optics
OPEN - Anything goes - within the bounds of safety
Also included in Non-IDPA Handgun Match category
are International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts (ICORE)
matches. These matches are similar to the above, but use standard NRA D-1
targets and a unique scoring system. Even though these matches are mainly
designed for revolver shooters, any handgun shooter can participate.
Categories for these matches include:
IC-L (ICORE Limited) -
All revolvers that do not have compensators, ports, optical or Red Dot sights
IC-O (ICORE Open) -
All revolvers that have any compensators, ports, optical or Red Dot sights
TRM (Ten Round Mags) -
Pistols that have 10-round or less mags – no opticals or compensators
HiCAP (HiCap mags) -
Pistols that have 10+ mags – no opticals or compensators
OPEN -
All other pistols
3-Gun Matches
-
Our 3-Gun matches usually consist of 8 COFs and offer the
shooter the experience of using all of the defensive weapon types (rifle,
pistol, shotgun) either separately, or in conjunction with each other
(pistol/shotgun, pistol/rifle, etc.) COFs may include IDPA-type targets as well
as steel plate targets. One of the rifle COFs usually includes steel silhouette
targets out to 180 yards. An example round count from a recent shoot included:
150 Rifle, 40 birdshot, 4 shotgun slugs, 120 pistol.
Club officers include volunteers that spend endless amounts of time arranging for matches, designing Courses Of Fire (COF), setting up and taking down targets, orienting new shooters, officiating as Safety Officers (SO) to ensure that all shooters have a safe and enjoyable experience, scoring and posting match results, etc. EVERYONE who participates in a match is expected to help score, tape targets, and pick up brass.
We have tried to keep match fees to a minimum, and would rather have shooters come and shoot than stay home because they can't justify the match fees.

The club hopes that its members will actively work to defend our Right to Keep and
Bear Arms. If we don't work to preserve our rights, who will?
