Welcome to the Greater Atlanta Defensive Pistol Association web site. The Greater Atlanta Defensive Pistol Association was established in the spring of 2005 and is an official IDPA affiliate organization.
The primary mission of the Greater Atlanta Defensive Pistol Association is to promote the goals of the International Defensive Pistol Association at the local level. We are focused on shooters whose primary interest is in honing their defensive shooting skills in a practical competition environment. Bill Wilson, president of IDPA says "The goal of Defensive Pistol is to create a level playing field for all competitors to test the skill and ability of the individual, not their equipment or gamesmanship ." The success of IDPA over the years has been its commitment to this philosophy and the Greater Atlanta Defensive Pistol Association was formed to carry on this philosophy at the local level.
Our home range is the South River Gun Club located just outside of Conyers, Georgia. Matches are typically held the fourth Sunday of every month and are open to both new and experienced IDPA shooters.
Please take a look at the other pages on this site for more information on the club and our matches.
We are proud to announce that Atlanta Arms and Ammo is now a club sponsor!
