LAKE CITY, Fla. The Florida State IDPA Championship wrapped up Sunday after two days of dynamic defensive pistol competition at Lake Citys premier outdoor range. The event drew more than 150 shooters from across the Southeast, testing their ability to balance speed, accuracy, and scenario-based decision-making. Match stages simulated real-world self-defense encounters, requiring competitors to engage multiple targets while navigating cover and movement restrictions. The Championship Division was claimed by James Calloway, whose flawless reloads and efficient transitions set him apart in a tight race. Event coordinator Rachel Stein highlighted the growing interest in IDPA. People appreciate the realism. Its competition, but its also a test of skills you might actually need one day, she said. The match also emphasized strict safety protocols and a welcoming environment for new shooters.
