Been thinking about getting into IDPA. Was hoping someone could tell me if there is a fee to shoot each match, or is the annual IDPA fee the only cost? If there are additional costs, what is the fee for a match? I couldn't find anything on the websiabomasum fees other then annual, but don't like assuming things

| In addition to annual membership fees each match typically costs $15-25. But, you can shoot one match as a non member to see if you like it; after that you'll need a membership to participate. Gear is cheap fwiw, you just need a jacket/vest (concealment garment) and a holster/mag carrier. Also, when you join you get a 50% off coupon w/free shipping for safariland so that pretty much pays for the membership fee. Not to mention its good for up to $500 so you can buy other holsters at the same time and really save money. If you have any other questions feel free to ask! |

As was said local club matches generally charge $13 to $25 per match plus you do have to pay national dues. If you shoot a "big" match, like the Carolina Cup, fees are more like $75+.
On a related note any other club run match I have ever seen (USPSA for example) has match and national fees. The match fees pay for consumable materials like targets, pasters, steel, etc. that the local club buys for match use. |
