The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is a handgun sporting organization that originated in 1996. While IDPA shares some similarities with USPSA, the primary emphasis is on situational shooting scenarios which might be encountered by a lawfully armed citizen defending self or others. Anyone who is interested but has not participated in this sport is suggested to refer to the IDPA website idpa.com. There are also numerous IDPA videos available on YouTube that can you can watch.
One of the unique facets of this sport is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, and yet it is fun, challenging, and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical gear and practical firearms may be used competitively. The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship.
Shooters may participate in up to three IDPA matches as non-IDPA members. Subsequent match participation requires IDPA membership.

Safety is the foremost goal for those participating in our matches. Cherokee Gun Club is a COLD RANGE. Firearms entering or on the property will remain unloaded and holstered (which includes an empty magazine well) until a shooter is instructed by a Safety Officer to load. Unloaded Firearms (no ammunition present) may only be handled in the designated Safe Areas on the range. Firearms are not to be handled in the parking areas.
The speed limit is 10 MPH on Cherokee Gun Club property. Please watch your speed so we can keep the range safe.
Observers attending the match must complete the club waiver as well as have eye and ear protection. Observers must remain within the pistol bay area.
Always remember and observe the four cardinal rules of gun safety:
No shooting is permitted before the match. Both eye and ear protection are required by club rules for everyone, shooters and guests. Only Cherokee Gun Club members and their registered guests are allowed to use the ranges after a match. Our range is a private club so no driving around the facility is permitted unless accompanied by a CGC Member. Children under age 8 are not permitted on the ranges.
First time IDPA shooters should arrive and register by 11:00 to be present for a New Shooter Safety Briefing at 11:30 in the pavilion area. Here you’ll learn all you need to know about safety rules, target engagement, scoring, etc.
