There is an IDPA match nearby. I've never shot IDPA.
Next weekend doesn't have a match either.
Should i shoot the IDPA match as practice or just run drills at my club?

If you want to get better at USPSA, practice. If you want to shoot a match and hang out with people, shoot IDPA. Shooting matches doesn't do nearly as much as actual, deliberate practice.
I am finding I do more draws, transitions, and splits in practice than I do at Level 1 matches. More movement and stage planning in matches though since I do not have an outside range.
