Bandera I D P A

Bandera IDPA runs organized competitive shooting matches on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Bandera Gun Club in Helotes, Texas. The club hosts both standard IDPA matches and defensive pistol-style competitions with multiple skill levels and match formats.

Bandera IDPA has hosted nearly 100 matches since tracking began. Current competition offerings include:

• •Standard IDPA Matches – Sanctioned IDPA format competitions
• •Defensive Pistol Matches – Defensive-focused stage designs
• •5x5 Classifiers – IDPA classification matches for skill ranking
• •Special Events – The "Come and Take It Shootout" and other themed competitions
• •PCC Matches – Pistol Caliber Carbine matches
• •Level I & Level II Matches – Tiered difficulty options

"We stress safety first, accuracy second, and THEN speed."

This isn't just a tagline—it's the operational priority. The range maintains a 5 mph speed limit for vehicle traffic. New shooter orientations happen before every match to ensure everyone understands safe procedures.

All online registrations happen through PractiScore. You'll need a free PractiScore account to sign up for matches. Registration typically opens in advance, with specific dates varying by match. Results are posted immediately after completion.

Whether you've shot one match or zero, you can show up. The 9:15 AM new shooters' meeting covers basic format, stage walkthroughs, safety rules, and what to expect. Most participants start at the General Public price point and move up through IDPA classifications as they compete more.

Bandera IDPA has maintained consistent monthly events dating back to at least 2019, with detailed results and competitor scores archived on PractiScore. This establishes a reliable, long-running club with an active shooter community.
