| IDPA | |
Cherokee IDPA The International Defensive Pistol Association is a handgun sport that originated in 1996. While IDPA shares some similarities with USPSA, the primary emphasis is on situational shooting scenarios which might be encountered by a lawfully armed citizen defending self or others. Anyone who is interested but has not participated in this sport is suggested to refer to the IDPA website (http://www.idpa.com/) as well as the website of Greater Atlanta Defensive Pistol Assn. (www. GADPA.com). The GADPA site contains an excellent New Shooter Briefing which will take much of the mystery out of the first match. Safety is the foremost goal for those participating in our matches. Cherokee Gun Club is a COLD RANGE. Firearms entering or on the property will remain unloaded and holstered (which includes an empty magazine well) until a shooter is instructed by a Safety Officer to load. Unloaded Firearms (no ammunition present) may only be handled in the designated Safe Areas on the range. Firearms are not to be handled in the parking areas. Cherokee Gun Club is located at 1700 Candler Road, Gainesville, GA. Matches are open to the public. While we believe all shooters should be NRA members that is not mandatory. Shooters may participate in their first IDPA match as non-IDPA members. Subsequent match participation requires IDPA membership.
Upcoming Matches IDPA matches are scheduled on the first Sunday of the month. Registration is conducted at the "IPSC Shack" at the pistol range and will begin at 1100 and will close promptly at 1215. Match fees: $15 for non club members, $10 for CGC members and ladies, $ 2 for Juniors. First time IDPA shooters should arrive and register by 1130 to be present for a orientation/safety briefing. The match will consist of six stages in six bays with 12 - 18 rounds per stage.

The weather was mostly cooperative, with only a few sprinkles toward the middle of the shooting day. There was a good turnout of 60 shooters this month. Two juniors participated with one being the only woman. Eight club members came to shoot as well. Chester Kingsman was again able to challenge the shooters with outstanding courses of fire. I want to thank all those who came out early to help set up. In no special order: Jimmy Purvis, Matt Reynolds, Nick Stanislo, Allan Wade, Andy Moore, Robert “Badlands Bob” Evans, Craig Given, and Steve “Grumpy” Blackmon. As always, Chester was the ramrod cracking the whip and keeping the doggies moving with a purpose. It is these folks who enable us to improve the quality/complexity of our stages. Thanks again. Several of these folks also helped out with Safety Officer Duties. All the SOs keep us safe and moving. Thanks to them as well. Pat Wade and Gerda Baitis got all registered in a timely manner. And Special Thanks to Gerda for making our match the sweetest of all with her baking. And now CONGRATULATIONS to the winners: CDP – Gene Gammill; ESP – John Black; SSP – Chris Vaughan; ESR – Steve Miller; SSR – Joe West. Connor Davis was High Junior and Maggie Duvall was High Woman. Ya’ll go stand by the mailbox ‘cause the prize money is in the mail….. Exceptional Thanks (way beyond regular thanks) to everyone for helping with brass police and tear down. It made it go much more quickly. Chester, Grumpy, Matt, and Nick again remained to the last trip to the dumpster with the trash. A super group of folks. Don’t forget it is now possible to sign up for e-mail notices regarding matches. The address is www.cherokeeidpa.com. At the upper left of the page is a prompt to take you to the sign-up page. Next Match: No match in January. The first Sunday is 01/01/12 and we thought folks might be in the recovery mode. February 5th, 2012 will be our first of 2012. It will be a six stage classifier match to get everyone set for the New Year. The 1st Sunday will remain match day as well as current times. Howard Beers
