Total Newbie here. Have a few questions about IDPA.

Im guessing you must be an IDPA member to participate in these events. I see the membership fee for that is $40. How much does each match typically cost for entry fee?

How long does the entire match last? All day?

How much ammo are we talking for a single days worth?

I read some of the rules, and it talks about 10 round magazine limit. Also read about mags must be loaded to capacity, and you cant drop mags to the ground with ammo in them. Does this mean Hi-Cap mags would be out of play? Can't load the 13 round mag with just 10 rounds?

Just trying to get an idea on what we're talking about for investment. I have 2 friends and all three of us are interested in joining in on the fun.

We watched the videos from your last match and were instantly excited to participate.

Located in Wilmington.

Thanks for any help/advice!
