UDPL Handgun/IDPA Match Division Information

 

UDPL matches that are designated as Handgun/IDPA matches will offer regular handgun stages as well as designated IDPA stages that strictly conform to IDPA rules for those IDPA members who wish to shoot the match as an IDPA competitor. This will allow all shooters, IDPA and non-IDPA, to participate in these events.

 

Note that only current IDPA members may shoot the match as IDPA shooters. Shooters that are not current IDPA members will shoot the match using one of the regular Handgun Divisions.

 

At the time of registration, a shooter should declare his division and mark his score sheet with the Handgun Division or the IDPA Division / Classification in which they will compete.
