Participation
Every IDPA match is a collaborative event - everyone participates!  This means helping with setup, tear-down, and (most importantly) taping targets in between shooters.  Just because you pay an entry fee doesn't mean you don't work - we ALL pay entry fees to shoot.  Recalcitrant ne'er-do-wells will be uninvited from future matches for repeated violations of this common courtesy rule.  We want everyone to have fun, and that means we all play together.

Safety
In any shooting venue, one thing should remain constant: safety.  At every IDPA match, there are several IDPA-certified Safety Officers.  These individuals will provide a safety briefing for all new shooters, or anyone who'd like a refresher.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  There are no stupid questions when it comes to gun safety.

We run a cold range, which means your gun remains unloaded and holstered until it's your turn to shoot, and you're instructed to load by the safety officer.  There are designated safety areas and these are the only places (besides the firing line) that you may remove your gun from your holster.  Please use these safety areas when removing/replacing your gun in it's bag.  There are 2 locations for your gun: in your range bag, or in your holster.  If you have neither, please see a safety officer before retrieving your firearm.  There is no handling of ammo in the safety areas.  Please load your magazines elsewhere.
