IDPA/CDPA Whinning and #####ing

And it's a new discipline that is allowing any IPA/IPSC/CDP shooter to come shoot without anything more than a match fee to cover the cost of setting up the shoot. It's not like you have to take a CDP course if you're already trained. The arms are out, group hug coming on.... ... Put down the fork..... They're friendly.
 
Since this is the IDPA/CDP ##### thread I might as well get it over with. Yesterday I went out with a friend and set up some targets. We were ready to practice but we could not come to an agreement. :( He wanted to shoot IDPA but I insisted on CDP. Well in the end we compromised. When he had the timer we shot IDPA and when I had the timer we shot CDP. :confused: Or was it that when he had the timer we shot CDP and IDPA when I had the timer? Now I don't remember.

In the end we had some fun and found out we both need a lot more practice.

Ok I said I was gone, but I have to answer you Bob one more time as you are just way to hostile over this. Once again, we do not shoot IDPA, we shoot CDP and in CDP we allow the use of the Uncle Mikes Kydex holster. Maybe we'll see you sometime, it is an open invitation and you are always welcome. Oh and by the way, I do not make a cent off of this, it actaully costs me money!

My understanding is that my blackhawk Sepa was not allowed in IDPA, but from my read it would be allowed in CDP?

Remember a few things:
-I don't subscribe to the IDPA rule book because that is not the discipline I shoot.
-Kydex is not just ''plastic'', it's far superior to the Uncle Mike's fabric holsters.
-Let me re-iterate again what I've been trying to tell you all along:
We don't subscribe to the IDPA rule book because that's not what we are shooting!!!!!This is a new discipline that has really caught on and is growing;
Growing because it stresses the ''fun'' aspect as well as the serious aspect of
the sport.
You are still p**sing,and moaning about something entirely different.Could
it be that you're upset because we're enjoying ourselves in a more relaxed and fun envoirnment? Or you feel that IDPA is threatened by the ''new kid on the block''?
Accept it for what it is, just another discipline, made in Canada, and promotes the shooting sports in a less tight a*sed way.
Have a nice day!

When I joined the CDPA, and on my CDPA course, we were taught with all material/literature/tests/score sheets used/had the official IDPA logo, we were taught to use/site rules and rulings as per the official IDPA rule book that was available online at IDPA.com. CDPA even went as far as to advertising in the CSSA magazine that the CDPA was the IDPA in Canada and that IDPA would supply the CDPA with 200 official IDPA rule books... On my CDPA course, I and a few others even went as far as to ask the instructor personally "Was the CDPA actually the real IDPA" and we were told "Yes, the CDPA is affiliated with the IDPA"

A classic "Bait and Switch" :mad:

I hope the guys how shoot CDPA and/or any other shooting sport have fun and enjoy themselves.

Not so with the paddle.

Blackhawk has changed the belt loop to make it smaller and it's now kosher.

Thanks, so I have the belt loop on, it's fine, but with the paddle it's not?

Kydex is not just ''plastic'', it's far superior to the Uncle Mike's fabric holsters.

No kidding. I have three Kydex holsters and have had for sometime now. I know the difference ...thanks.

CDP was initially started using the IDPA Rule book as the above states. David Burke referred to the IDPA book in his column in the CSSA quarterly magazine so quit kidding yourself. If not the IDPA rule book what rule book do you use or do you kind of make it up on the fly?


This is a new discipline that has really caught on and is growing;

the sport.

What you are shooting is a copy of IDPA without having to join IDPA.

Could it be that you're upset because we're enjoying ourselves in a more relaxed and fun envoirnment? Or you feel that IDPA is threatened by the ''new kid on the block''?

No not in the slightest. The more shooters we have the better. You may think it is great for a supposedly "National" organization to plagerize a sport and derive a benefit from it...I don't.

Accept it for what it is, just another discipline, made in Canada, and promotes the shooting sports in a less tight a*sed way.


Made in Canada???? Yea right. Not sure where your expertise comes in to differentiate the apparent differences between CDP and IDPA but I am sure at some point you will enlighten us. Oh hey I know CDP allows the $26.00 Uncle MIkes holster to be used while IDPA doesn't. Quite the difference.:rolleyes:

As a matter of interest where can I find a CDP Rule book. Might want to take up the sport as it sounds so much different than what we shoot in IDPA.

Take Care

Yes, I think you'd enjoy it immensely. Don't take yourself so seriously and
live life. Sweat only the serious things(your job, family , financial obligations,
Lieberals trying to take all of these things away from us, etc.)But these '' past
times '' are our outlet for frustrations caused by the above pressures in life.
Personally, I refuse to lose a moments sleep over it, and guys like Steve David
and others are in it only for the enjoyment:no other reason.
He's trained over 100 people already, and has a long list just chomping at the bit to take the course and participate.
As for a ''rule book'', Steve explained all that in a previous posting.
You take care now and have a great time shooting whatever discipline you
pick. Just enjoy it, and if you're ever in the area, Steve and I would be
delighted to have you over to shoot a match!

So with IDPA being shot in Ontario over 10 years ago........

Would it be safe to say that the current regiem is not the "original" IDPA group?

That is right Storm. And from what I remember when I was looking into it back then, Burlington was not the first IPDA club, I think it was Galt, but I may be mistaken, my appologies if I am! I have the contact name and club IDPA gave me written down somewere from when I opriginally called IDPA to inquire.

RudyH, one reason why you might not have gotten an IDPA rule book is that IDPA has no intention of supplying CSSA with their rule books as was implied in CSSA last publication. If CDP doesn't use IDPA's rule book then what rule book do they now use?

Can someone point me to the CDP "rule book"? I can't find a post that lists it anywhere. I was under the impression that CDP followed the IDPA rules (other than the barrel length issue). If we are not following the IDPA rules then I would like to know what I am shooting.
 
26 March 2007

With regard to the revolver issue, Canadian law has made it necessary for us to become unique in the way we will have to consider revolver barrel length. From this point forward revolvers will be permitted in their respective class with up to a six inch barrel. This should satisfy our few but, important none the less, revolver shooters in Canada.

But this is from this March. When did IPDA Canada as it is known now, come to exist?

Prairie medic ...
I would like to be able to answer but perhaps Steve Shirley can put some light on this for you. At this time you do not have to be a member of IDPA Canada to shoot IDPA in Canada........(although I have been wrong before) I believe it is used to separate the canadian shooters from the rest of the IDPA shooters.........someone with more Knowledge please step in here
 
IDPA Canada is authorized by IDPA in Arkansas to oversee the sport in Canada. Steve Shirley is the Canadian Co-Ordinator. In time there will be provincial coordinators reporting to the Canadian Coordinator.

One of the first decisions made was to recomend to IDPA that in Canada revolvers with barrels up to 6" would be allowed to compete in the two revolver divisions. The rule change is allowed to accomodate Canadian Restrictins on revolver barrel lengths.

Steve Shirley via IDPA Canada, is also responsible for recomending individuals to receive their Safety Officer Instructor Certification, recomending target suppliers and other administrative duties that come up from time to time.

Steve at some point will wade in here and respond to your other questions.

Take Care
