“In order for shooters to be able to compete with their peers, IDPA competitors are divided into classifications within each division based upon their skill level. IDPA has a very quick and easy method of classifying shooters. Only currently affiliated clubs may award classifications and only current IDPA members may shoot the classifier or be awarded a classification by a club.<\/em>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Classifier matches are held by each affiliated club.<\/strong>
The Classifier matches consist of a 1 to 3 stage course of fire, depending on the classification method in use. Details for each stage, including walk-through and videos are available for each.
