Do you live south of Boston?
...enjoy competing in the IDPA or want to start trying?
want to be part of an exciting new IDPA program located perfectly between Plymouth, Worcester, Woburn?
We are in the very preliminary stages of proposing the start of an IDPA program at Independent Sportsman Club, Foxboro, MA to the reluctant Board of Directors
there is a VERY tough hill to climb to get this up and running and your help is needed
1) If you are an existing member of Independent Sportsman club (Foxboro) and are interested in the IDPA, please contact me
2) If you currently have no club affiliation but would more likely consider a club should they offer an IDPA program, please contact me
3) If you currently compete in the IDPA locally and would like to add another facility to places you compete and/or could be available for 1 day a month, please contact me ASAP!
At the last board of directors meeting, we had some board members who outright said "NO", there were some who were curious and one who GREATLY supported the idea of IDPA
Agenda:
- Next up coming board of directors meeting is 10/18/16 @ 730pm (welcome to attend), we'll provide an outline and proposal which would include details of program development over the next year
- We are up against a few board members who are 'jaded' from a prior 'home-grown' action pistol group who were allegedly unsafe, un organized and the program was shut down
- Our intent is to show great respect for the board members tenure & any of their reservations... not looking to poke a bear, just sticking with the facts
- It's necessary for us to show, from the start, that we intend to earn their respect and represent the IDPA League by the letter, thus displaying the typical
+safe firearm handling aspects of the sport as well as welcome any 'outsiders' who respect the clubs they participate at
Long term:
- If our program is considered, it will be our FULL intent to assemble a crew to represent the Club & the League will full IDPA affiliation
- We would get full IDPA RSO certification for the dedicated crew (some pre-requisites may be required)
- Our crew would support other local club's affiliated IDPA events (including helping them advertise), including attending their events
- Our schedule, including practices, will be built around the other local clubs IDPA affiliated events to not conflict and promote growth
- If everything goes perfect, it will be some time before the program is producing 'full' competitions, but we will get there
Again, if you or someone you know want to be part of something exciting, we will need to build a crew & we will need a physical show of support at the next few meetings... not necessarily voices, but definitely head count
