Winter IDPA

Post by Silvertiger27 »

I've just gotten into IDPA and attended my first match at Ashland Lake Gun Club last month. Loved it and looking forward to more. However, I notice that every club I've come across operates IDPA matches from about March until November.

Does anyone know of any location that hosts indoor IDPA matches during the winter months, particularly in the Columbus and central Ohio area?

I too would be interested in such a thing if it exists.

Currently there aren't any true IDPA matches during the winter months that I know of here in Ohio. Salem Hunting Club (http://www.salemhuntingclub.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) holds a concealed carry shoot which is likely to be similar year round. North Olmsted Sportsmen's Club does IDPA sessions year round but not matches and Stonewall has their BASS match but both of those are likely too far north for you.

May see you this weekend at Ashland Lake when they have another match. May be giving a .40S&W barrel in a 10mm Kimber Eclipse a workout and see how it does.

There are multiple indoor matches at different ranges every week in Houston. I can shoot Monday nights after work at one range 10 minutes east of me, and one Thursday nights after work 10 minutes south of me. However, my favorite matches are outdoor matches when it is 65 degrees in January. I won't do outdoor matches in July/August -- too hot.

Lawrence County Pa continues their outdoor IDPA matches throughout the winter. In the Columbus area, you may want to consider the GSSF Indoor Matches (Glock Sports Shooting Foundation), if you shoot a Glock...

Clinton County Farmers and Sportsmen's Association runs their matches year round as long as the weather isn't ridiculous.

Belated thanks for the info. AimHi is near me, might just have to buy a Glock just for some winter shooting to get my fix, hehe.
