Open Shooting
Tuesday shooting sessions provide a more open, flexible format for shooting. This is a great opportunity for some informal practice and training. IDPA rules and guidelines for equipment and scoring are not strictly enforced. Of course, all safety rules still apply!
Some differences on Open Shooting nights include:
Holsters:
- All safety-related restrictions still apply. However, other IDPA restrictions do not apply.
- Retention devices need not be used if equipped.
Concealment:
- Wearing a concealment garment is not required.
Course Design:
- Emphasis is on “real-life” tactical scenarios, but IDPA Course Design Rules & Rationale are not strictly adhered to.
Scoring:
- Scenarios are scored, however the scores are intended more to help individuals track their progress against their own scores and those of others. No awards or trophies will be awarded.
- Penalties may still be assessed for tactical errors, but again IDPA rules are not strictly enforced.
Cost:
- Cost is $10 per night and there are no club memberships.
