2026 Idaho State IDPA Championship

The 2026 Idaho State IDPA Championship is a defensive pistol competition hosted at Boise Gun Club. IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) focuses on practical shooting skills—combining accuracy, speed, and safe gun handling in scenarios that simulate real-world defensive situations.

Competitors move through multiple shooting stages, engaging targets from various distances and positions. Each stage presents different challenges: drawing from a holster, shooting on the move, shooting from cover, or engaging multiple targets. Scores are based on accuracy and time, with penalties for misses and safety violations.

• •Multiple stages completed across the range
• •Competitors grouped with other shooters for safety and verification
• •Stages timed with emphasis on both precision and efficiency
• •Division classifications based on equipment (pistol type, holster, sights)
• •Winners determined by combined scores across all stages

This is a state-level championship, so participants should have prior IDPA match experience and solid fundamentals. If you've shot club-level IDPA matches and want to test yourself against Idaho's top shooters, this is your event. Newcomers to IDPA should attend local club matches first to learn the format and rules.

IDPA offers multiple divisions—from stock service pistols to custom race guns—so shooters compete against similar equipment setups.
