What is IDPA?
IDPA is the use of practical equipment including live ammunition to solve simulated real-world self-defense scenarios using practical handguns and holsters suitable for self-defense use. The main objective is to test the skill and ability of the individual.
The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is the shooting sports governing body that simulates self-defense scenarios and real-life encounters. It was founded in 1996 in response to the wishes of shooters around the world. The organization now has more than 25,000 members, including members in 70 foreign countries.
What is IDPA, and how to become a shooter?
First you need to decide if this branch of sport is for you. It is a good idea to read the IDPA Rules. If you have read and decided, you can participate as an unqualified competitor in one match. If you like this story,
the next step is membership in the international IDPA organization ( https://www.idpa.com/membership/ ). On this page you create your IDPA profile, pay the membership fee to the international IDPA Association (for one or three years) and receive your unique IDPA number (RSXXXXXX). After that, you need to choose to join the national IDPA club, which is a member of the Serbian Association for Defensive Shooting - IDPA Serbia ( see Clubs in Serbia page ).
When you become a member of your home club, your club registers you with the Serbian Federation - IDPA Serbia. Then you get a competition ID and a competition booklet. Furthermore, it is necessary to do a SPORTS MEDICAL EXAMINATION (it is not the same as a medical examination for obtaining approval in the MUP) in a reference institution that is accredited for the same . The preview should be entered in the competition booklet and without it you cannot compete and be an IDPA competitor/shooter.
The next step is the competitor/shooter classification ( see rules page ). It is possible to do it with one of the certified referees of the IDPA Serbia association, and or within your home club. Only then, you become a full-fledged IDPA competitor/shooter.
