IDPA Announces Target Is Moving As Latest Corporate Sponsor

IDPA logoBERRYVILLE, Ark. – The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) announced that Target Is Moving has become the latest corporate sponsor of IDPA.

“By becoming a corporate sponsor, Target Is Moving has partnered with IDPA to help expand an important segment of the broader shooting community. Our goal at IDPA is to reach out to new and existing gun owners to encourage them to not only own guns, but to get out and shoot them in a safe, fun and challenging environment,” said Robert Ray, membership and marketing director for the International Defensive Pistol Assn.

Noting that approximately 91% of IDPA members hold a concealed carry permit, Ray added, “besides being an exciting sport, regularly competing in IDPA matches can help a gun owner become more competent and confident in the use of their defensive firearm.”

Target Is Moving joins ACADEMI, Gun World Magazine, Handguns Magazine, Harris Publications, the National Shooting Sports Foundation and Wilson Combat as a corporate sponsor of IDPA providing major financial support for the organization.

Each year IDPA members in the United States spend upwards of $30 million annually on shooting equipment for the sport with the average amount (of estimated 2013 expenditures) totaling $1,580.83. Equipment purchased by IDPA members includes firearms, accessories, reloading equipment and components.
