At the Sportsman’s Club of Franklin County, we’re offering a beginner-friendly introduction to IDPA (defensive pistol) match shooting—designed for shooters who are comfortable handling a firearm but have never competed.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How an IDPA match actually works

Then we’ll wrap it up by running a simple, beginner-friendly stage so you can experience it firsthand.

This is not a “learn to shoot” class—it’s a learn to compete workshop in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
