SIG SAUER Returns As Sponsor Of S&W IDPA Indoor Nationals

BERRYVILLE, Ark. – New Hampshire firearms maker SIG SAUER® has signed on as one of the major sponsors of the sold-out 2014 Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor National Championship.

Now in its 17th year, the Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor Nationals is one of the shooting sports’ most popular events, thanks to broad industry support from companies like SIG SAUER.

“SIG SAUER continues to support IDPA, both nationally and locally at their training facility in New Hampshire, and we’re very pleased to welcome them back as a major sponsor of the Smith & Wesson Indoor Nationals,” said Robert Ray, membership and marketing director for IDPA.

SIG SAUER joins Apex Tactical Specialties, Blade-Tech, Brownells, Colt, Comp-Tac Victory Gear, CORBON, FMG Publications, GunUp.com, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Nighthawk Custom, Panteao Productions, Rand Brands, the Self Defense Association, Wilson Combat and Smith & Wesson, the title sponsor, in supporting the match.

As part of their support, SIG SAUER will host the reception prior to the Saturday evening awards banquet.

“The staff of the SIG Academy looks forward to the S&W IDPA Indoor Nationals every year. It is a fantastic event and venue, we are excited to sponsor the match as always. IDPA competitions fall directly in line with our “train how you fight” philosophy so what better way to put shooter skills to the test than at this highly competitive match,” said Adam Painchaud, director of the SIG SAUER Academy.

The match is scheduled to take place February 20-22 on the indoor ranges of the Smith & Wesson Shooting Sports Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. More than 300 of the sport’s best shooters are expected to compete for titles in Custom Defensive Pistol, Enhanced Service Pistol, Stock Service Pistol, Stock Service Revolver and Enhanced Service Revolver, the five divisions within IDPA.
