\"nssflogo\"<\/a>BERRYVILLE, Ark. \u2013 The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF<\/a>), a longtime supporter of the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA<\/a>) and the shooting matches hosted by Smith & Wesson, has returned as a major sponsor of the S&W IDPA Indoor Nationals.<\/p>\n

Now in its 17th year, the 2014 Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor National Championship will take place February 20-22 on the indoor ranges of the Smith & Wesson Shooting Sports Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

NSSF, which is the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry, will be the official sponsor of the awards banquet taking place Saturday evening, February 22.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Shooting Sports Foundation has led the industry\u2019s effort to promote and support the shooting sports and IDPA has benefitted greatly from their very generous support,\u201d said Joyce Wilson, executive director for IDPA. \u201cOn behalf of IDPA\u2019s 22,000-plus members, and our match host, Smith & Wesson, I want to thank everybody at NSSF for all they do for the shooting sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

“IDPA remains one of the fastest-growing shooting sports in America, and NSSF is committed to helping the sport continue its record growth,” said Chris Dolnack, NSSF senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “Best of luck to everyone competing at the indoor nationals!”<\/p>\n

\"Print\"<\/a>The Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor National Championship represents the official start of IDPA\u2019s competition season and is regarded as one of the finest competitive shooting matches in the country, thanks to help from organizations like NSSF and title sponsor Smith & Wesson.<\/p>\n

More than 300 of the sport\u2019s best shooters are expected to compete for titles in Custom Defensive Pistol, Enhanced Service Pistol, Stock Service Pistol, Stock Service Revolver and Enhanced Service Revolver, the five divisions within IDPA.<\/p>\n
