IDPA (24HourCampfire) Classification - 09/21/22
In another thread we talked about classification systems for shooting sports. I mentioned that Master Class IDPA wasn’t that hard to accomplish, but looking at the updated classification times it may be a little sportier than I expected.
For the record, I’ve only shot the IDPA classifier once for official score and shot Expert. I got my Master class ranking based on match finish at the Gulf Coast Championship match several years ago.
The IDPA 5x5 classifier is easy to set up and easy to score. At the minimum you can get by with a printed 8” circle, printed 4” circle, a timer, and 25 rounds of ammo.
If you don’t have an actual IDPA target just staple the printed circles in roughly the right place on a piece of cardboard and honestly score your misses.
The classification breakdown is available here, along with the score sheet and instructions. Remember to look for the “abbreviated method” link. https://www.idpa.com/idpa-matches/idpa-match-rules/
