Who We Are:
Mecklenburg Wildlife Defensive Shooters (MWDS) is a group
of individuals that are members of Mecklenburg Wildlife Club (MWC) that
volunteer their time and energy to plan and conduct IDPA shooting events. The
range and facilities used by MWDS are owned and maintained by MWC. MWDS members
are allowed access to the action pistol berms year around for practice
activities within the guidelines of membership rules and by-laws. On the fourth
Saturday of each month, MWDS is allowed to utilize the action pistol berms and
range facilities to conduct a monthly IDPA match. The monthly match is
conducted by MWDS for members and outside guests using IDPA guidelines.
MWDS routinely meets to discuss match details and plan
activities. Funding to support MWDS is
provided through the collection of match fees from members and guests. Monies
from these fees are utilized to purchase materials, to include props, targets,
computer software, and used to support range upkeep.
