May 19 Match -- two matches in one!
Monday, 14 May 2012 20:36

Our match this Saturday, May 19, will start 30 minutes earlier at our "warm weather" times of:

 

     9:00am Sign-up

     9:30am Shooters meeting and match start 

 

Please note that setup will be Friday, starting at 3:30pm. Help with setup and shoot the Saturday match at half-price.

 

This match can be shot as a regular match with the usual gun divisions, OR you can be scored separately in two different short-barrel divisions. You will see that most holsters commonly used with short-barrel guns are acceptable. If you have any doubt, bring your regular rig in case our Match Director disallows your SBR or SBP holster. The max. barrel length to shoot in the SBR (revolver) Division is 2.5 in. and the max. barrel length for SBP (auto-loading pistol) is 3.5 in. The minimum caliber is .380 ACP.

 

Please check the Match Rules (on the left) for more information.

 

See you at the range!

About MDPA

The Montana Defensive Pistol Association (MDPA) is a shooting club. We are open to the public and have no membership requirements. MDPA is sponsored by the MWA Logan Shooting Range. We are not affiliated with the International Defensive Pistol Association.

MDPA is dedicated to providing a supportive environment to train for and practice real-life defensive shooting skills using standard handguns. We believe if you are going to keep and/or carry a handgun for self-defense you have a responsibility to learn and practice to use it safely, accurately, and quickly.

MDPA offers the best defensive shooting training and practice in the area. Shooting with us offers you a unique opportunity to test and improve your handgun safety skills, your shooting accuracy, and your gun-handling speed. Our shooting events are fun, challenging, and rewarding.

We host shooting matches the third Saturday of every month from March through November at the Logan Shooting Range.


Most events will have ten different defensive shooting problems allowing you to develop and practice a variety of defensive shooting skills. Each problem and the skills required are explained before you shoot. Experienced shooters are grouped with new shooters to answer questions, offer advice, and help in anyway they can.

MDPA welcomes new shooters and we invite you to join us at our next shooting event. You will have fun while improving your handgun skills. Please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with any questions.
