This Week on Shooting USA: Defensive Pistol Nationals

By Elise Fox

USA – (AmmoLand.com) – It’s a carnival of fun at Smith & Wesson, as the stages at the IDPA Indoor Nationals get even more creative. More than 300 competitors tackle a dozen stages under “The Big Top” in Massachusetts, including those competing in IDPA’s new division: Compact Carry Pistol. It’s a run-and-gun match where new shooters test their skills, and the Pro Shooters compete for the National Championship Titles.
