IDPA Announces Trijicon’s Sponsorship of Carolina Cup

BERRYVILLE, Ark. – The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) announced that Trijicon, manufacturer of Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ for the hunting, shooting, military and law enforcement markets, will be a sponsor of the upcoming Carolina Cup championship.

The Carolina Cup, one of IDPA’s three major championships, will take place June 14-16 at The Range in Oxford, North Carolina. More than 360 of IDPA’s top shooters are expected to put upwards of 75,000 rounds downrange in pursuit of titles in Custom Defensive Pistol, Enhanced Service Pistol, Stock Service Pistol, Stock Service Revolver and Enhanced Service Revolver, the five divisions in IDPA competition.

Trijicon joins Remington Arms and Smith & Wesson, the Carolina Cup’s two major sponsors, and will be a stage sponsor for two of the match’s 16 stages.

“Thanks to the strong industry support from companies like Trijicon, the Carolina Cup continues to grow in popularity and remains one of the premier pistol matches in America,” said Scott Ruby, sponsor coordinator for the Carolina Cup. “We deeply appreciate Trijicon’s continued generosity.”

Considered by many to be among the most popular matches in IDPA competition, the Carolina Cup is known for its challenging courses of fire that creatively test all of a shooter’s skills. Due to both the match’s popularity and the explosive growth in IDPA membership, the Carolina Cup has been sold out since early March.
