I am unclassified new IDPA shooter/member (took intro course and competed in 2 matches). I see that your event this Sat. is a Classifier. I am planning on attending and just wanted to confirm that I can get classified at this event?
Thanks,
Rockyboy2010

Rockyboy,

The match on the 28th at Harvard is not a classifier, it's a Tier 1 match. I think the next local classifier is going to be at Pioneer Sportsman's Club in Dunbarton NH on the 19th of July.

You should come out to the match anyway!

Thanks for the info David, I am planning on going on the 28th anyway, good practice for classifier I guess.
Thanks again,

What's a Tier 1 match? I've never done idpa but want to start. Is this an ok match to start at. I'm not a new shooter and have a lot of firearms training. I just have never done competitions. Thanks.

 

[beldavius]

A tier 1 match is a local club match, and it's a perfect first match! Come on down!

These dates do not exist. Should this be the 25th and 26th?

Penciling in Sept. 27th to try IDPA for the first time. I have no competitive shooting experience so this should be a great learning experience and hopefully alot of fun!

Also hoping someone can show me around HSC, as I'm hoping to possibly join the club.

ProGun,

I'm not a member at Harvard, but I've been shooting the IDPA matches there for a little over a year. Look for me this Saturday. I'll be the guy with the Hawaii shirt and the GoPro on my head!

I wasn't able to make it today (messed up my shoulder this week), so I'm going to have to make the next one. Appreciate the message, I'll PM you before the next one. Thanks!

Hi,
I'm new to IDPA, and I was thinking of going to the Tier 1 match on the 28th. Would I be able to shoot or just watch? I am unclassified. I wouldn't mind if my scores don't count but I would like the experience. If you're not classified do they just throw you in with the big boys?
Thanks,
Dan C

You can shoot. You will be listed as unclassified and your scores will show up like anyone else's. Be sure to tell your squad's safety officer that you are new. Go slow, listen to the range commands, and be safe.

Also read the rule book.
