Shoots are held year round on
the 2nd Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and 4th Saturday at 9:00 a.m. of each month.
If you can, please come around 30 minutes early to help set up the courses of fire.
Shoots are occasionally re-scheduled.
Check this site to make sure shoots have not been changed.
IDPA shoots are held at the Tennessee Sports
Foundation ranges.
The range is located at 3583 Riverside Drive,
Jackson, TN.
It is 5 miles from Sadie Lou's (where Riverside Drive and
Steam Mill Ferry Road cross). Around 3 miles past Sadie Lou's, you will go under
some TVA power lines. The range is 1.9 miles after you pass under the TVA power
lines. There are 2 big radio towers on the right. The range entrance is just
below the smaller tower. Range is on right side of road. There is a 2 story
blue house on left across from the range entrance. The range is on a slight
curve so is easy to miss. For

The IDPA was organized in order to
provide those persons interested in carrying a firearm for self-defense with
a platform to practice the skills that are necessary in the average
defensive encounter. It is different from most of the other pistol
associations in that it limits the participants' gear to that which is
common to daily carry. The point of IDPA is not to win or beat someone
else, the point is to instill the traits that will help you to successfully
overcome your adversaries in an armed encounter.
For an individual to participate in his / her first IDPA match, bring:
- Eye and ear protection
- Revolver or Pistol (9mm/.38 Special or larger)
- Extra magazine or speed-loader
- Holster
- Open mind
Cost to shoot is FREE the first time, and then $5 if you are a Tennessee Sports Foundation member, and $10 if your not a Tennessee Sports Foundation member. Spectators are always free.
Come on out and join us! Shoot with us, or just watch. Spectators are welcome. But if you come just to watch, make sure you bring ear protection. If you have questions, contact me.
