Lakeland Defensive Pistol Club

Lakeland Defensive Pistol Club is a Florida-based IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) shooting club dedicated to practical competitive shooting focused on defensive tactics and real-world carry gear. Located at Range Werx in Fort Meade, the club hosts monthly matches designed to simulate self-defense scenarios using truly practical equipment and techniques.

The International Defensive Pistol Association is a shooting sport founded in 1996 that emphasizes practical defensive pistol skills over expensive equipment races. With over 25,000 members worldwide, IDPA provides a welcoming community for shooters who want to compete with their actual duty or concealed carry firearms—not specialized competition guns.

Lakeland Defensive Pistol Club brings this philosophy to Central Florida, offering monthly competitions that welcome shooters of all skill levels. Whether you're new to competitive shooting or an experienced marksman, LDPC provides a safe, fun, and challenging environment to develop and test your defensive shooting abilities.

Matches feature: - Practical courses of fire simulating defensive encounters - Your own equipment — use your CCW holster and carry pistols competitively - All skill levels welcome — new shooters encouraged to participate - Monthly events — scheduled throughout the year for consistent training opportunities - Safe, competitive atmosphere — managed by experienced IDPA shooters
