The North West Practical Pistol Association (NWPPA) has been a fixture in Seattle-area competition since the 1970s.
Operating for many years as an IPSC, and later, USPSA affiliate at Interlake Sporting Association in Kirkland, NWPPA has in more recent years conducted IDPA matches at Renton Fish & Game Club.
Those who have been shooting IDPA, especially if you have competed in the annual state championship, are probably already aware that key administrative and match staff positions have been assumed by the group which, going forward, will be known as Renton Shooting Association (RSA).
A new shooting sport, Action Shooting International (ASI), was formed in the Seattle area a few years ago, and its rise has created the opportunity for expanded competition opportunities at Renton; NWPPA will step into the role of management of the Renton ASI club.
The NWPPA web forum has served for years as the information clearinghouse for IDPA in Washington, with folders for each of the area clubs, and even support for non-IDPA events.
Going forward, that web forum will be replaced by two new forums.
For IDPA, the new Renton Shooting Association will maintain their focused forum here: Home | Renton Shooting Association
NWPPA will have a new, ASI-specific forum here: Login Required | NWPPA
Both organizations will depend upon continued participation by the "membership"; even though there may be no dues paid, or board meetings to attend, the success of both NWPPA and RSA will be proportional to the participation of everyone who attends our matches.
Seek out Range- or Safety-Officer training, volunteer for match staff positions, show-up early to help set up, and stay late to help tear down; contribute what you can to maintaining your club's health.
