Even though we are a sport the underlying premise is to practice with equipment that is available to the average man. All firearms have to comply with IDPA rules. A minimum of 3 magazines for the firearm you are shooting is recommended. Your belt is extremely important since it is the foundation of your shooting platform. A wide, thick leather belt is recommended. See IDPA RULE BOOK. Several of our sponsors would happily assist you with most equipment required for your sport. See SPONSORS5. SAFETY EQUIPMENTShooting glasses are required to protect your eyesight against flying lead splinters that very rarely ricochet off steel plates as well as potential metal and powder debris that may occur should you have a round blow up due to double charge OR gun failure. Ear Protection is required and is recommended you purchase the best equipment you can afford. CLOTHINGStrong pants with numerous belt loops are recommended. Your shirt should be long enough to be tucked in properly and we recommend that a smooth shirt is preferable. Certain shirt material gathers and sticks to equipment and hands hampering your draw. A conceal garment has to be used that covers the firearms, holster, magazines and magazine pouches with arms extended. SHOOTING BAGYour shooting bag is crucial to enjoy a pleasurable day on the range. The new shooter may find that the large BIG JIM plastic tool box is initially the best purchase till you decide what you require. It can also double up as a range chair.
