To the 2013 International Defensive Pistol Association United States National Championship Let our sponsors know that you appreciate their generous support! IDPA Championship Participants, Welcome to the IDPA US National Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma! IDPA Headquarters is very happy to be returning to Tulsa and the fantastic US Shooting Academy. We also greatly appreciate the US Shooting Academy for agreeing to host the match this year. Please take a moment to thank them. The US Shooting Academy is an awesome facility with a number of great training classes and top notch instructors. Any class taken here will be well worth the money and time spent. John May is the Match Director for this year’s match. His name may be familiar to some of you. He is a long time IDPA competitor and has the distinction of being the only 4 (now 5 time) National Match Director. He has put together an extraordinarily fun and challenging IDPA match for your enjoyment. He has selected stages of his own as well as from some of our CSO’s that will test your skill and ability to the limit. There will be 17 stages of fire requiring 237 rounds to complete, but that is only if you don’t miss. There are also several Expo bays for you to enjoy with guns and ammo provided by Wilson Combat, Nighthawk Custom and CZ-USA. There are also a number of vendors under our Vendor/Lunch tent including, Precision Sports Accessories, Target Barn, Comp-Tac, Blade Tech, Glock Triggers, White Hat Holsters and Animal Customs. Please take some time to visit these great sponsors and see the gear they have to offer. Also please take the time to thank all of our other sponsors listed here in the matchbook. Their generous support helps to make this match happen. You will find all of our sponsors’ contact info in this book and may run into their representatives here on the range. When making your next shooting related purchases, please remember to help support those that support you. Also please take a moment to thank John and his talented SO’s and staff for all their hard work putting this match together. It is a hard job and a heavy responsibility and I know that your words of thanks will be much appreciated. We hope that you enjoy the match and all the different hospitality opportunities available to you this year. We are committed to making this a fun, challenging and memorable event. We would love to hear your input but we do ask that you do it at the hospitality rooms or dinner and not on the firing line. We want you to help us continue to improve the sport, but please keep in mind the needs of your fellow competitors. Have a great match and good luck.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BRING THEM UP AT YOUR SHOOTER'S MEETING OR CONTACT THE MATCH DIRECTOR. Chronographing of Competitors Ammunition Official chronographing procedure is as follows: Chronograph 3 rounds at a distance of 10 feet using a weapon of maximum barrel length for that division. If 2 of the 3 rounds exceed the power floor, the competitor is in compliance. Prior to each shot, the muzzle of the weapon should be elevated to move the powder charge to the rear of the case, thus giving the competitor every chance to achieve maximum velocity. Should the competitor's ammunition fail to meet the power floor, the competitor will have the option to chronograph 3 additional rounds through his/her weapon. If there is any question as to the bullet weight, a bullet should be pulled and weighed using a powder scale. Any competitor whose ammunition fails to meet the minimum power floor requirements, will be disqualified from the entire match and receive a DNF score. Holster and Magazine Pouch Belt Locations It will be the competitor’s responsibility to assure that their holster and magazine pouches are worn in an appropriate location per IDPA rules - behind the centerline. If a safety officer has asked you to move your equipment to comply with IDPA rules before shooting their stage, they will mark your score sheet accordingly. If you have more than one score sheet marked, you will be assessed a 3 second procedural penalty for each additional mark. Loading to Division Capacity Unless the course of fire requires otherwise, all divisions will load to maximum capacity prior to each string of fire. In the case of the SSP division, this will be 11 rounds total in the weapon. Protective Knee and Elbow Pads If protective knee or elbow pads are used, they MUST be concealed under your outer clothing and be of the soft pad type. No hard shell pads are permitted. Brass This is a lost brass match. Course Walk Through No individual stage walk throughs will be permitted. Each squad will be given a complete verbal description of the course of fire by the safety officers. However it will be the competitors responsibility to read and understand the course of fire prior to their squadded shooting time. Target Pasting and Safety Officer Assistance It will be EVERY competitor’s responsibility to assist the safety officers in any way; they can paste at least as many holes as they punch in the targets. This includes steel setting as well. Please, everyone help the SOs out. Disputes on Scoring and Rule Enforcement All disputes or protests will be heard by Match Director, John May or 46 General Information Assistant MDs, Mike Webb and Walt Proulx. Their decision will be final. See rule # C 10 in the official Rule Book also. Cold Range Guns may only be loaded on the firing line, under SO supervision. Off the line, your gun must be unloaded at all times. It must be holstered or cased unless you are in a Safety Area. You may case, uncase, and holster your gun only in the Safety Areas.
