Smith & Wesson Corp. announced that registration for the 2017 Smith & Wesson IDPA Winter Nationals is open. Long considered to be the season opener for the IDPA competition season, the Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor National Championship is even more meaningful this year since the match will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of this premier event. IDPA Executive Director Joyce Wilson said, “Smith & Wesson and the IDPA have been great partners for two decades. We are proud that the work we do results in one of the most anticipated matches on the calendar. We expect the match will sell out in just a few hours. It’s great to be a part of an event that generates that kind of excitement.”
The 2017 Indoor Nationals will be fired Feb. 18-20 at the Smith & Wesson Shooting Sports Center in Springfield, MA.
Director of Sales and Marketing Operations, Shaun Phelan, said, “Smith & Wesson has been a proud supporter of IDPA since the beginning. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our twenty years together than to highlight the collaboration that goes into IDPA clubs and matches.”
As in years past, the match will give returning competitors priority registration. Registration information can be accessed on the IDPA website by searching for major matches or directly at: http://www.idpa.com/compete/competitiondetails/26654.
