CFDCC is the local affiliate chapter of the US Carbine Association or USCA, which hosts monthly 2 gun matches – using carbines and pistols.

Complete guidelines for the USCA matches can be found here: http://www.uscarbineassociation.com/rules.cfm

Specific to our club, we use IDPA targets – so in essence the best way to describe CFDCC is as "IDPA with rifles". It is competitive event that strives to exercise practical rifle skills in using well thought out defensive scenarios. We push shooters to maximize the potential of their weapon system, from CQB out to 300 meters.

Match are held at the Volusia County Gun and Hunt Club on the third Sunday of every month.

Our mindset: this is a competitive event with specific divisions but we'd like to minimize the amount of gamesmanship at the match. Though we rank shooters, remember -- you are competing against yourself. It is okay to push yourself but there is no reason to cut corners or shoot beyond your capability for the sake of having a high score. It is better to shoot within your ability while exercising sound fundamental marksmanship skills, sound tactics, and good safety habits.

We would like to emphasize the practical and defensive aspects of rifle shooting. This is an opportunity to exercise some of the things you've learned in training classes and gauge your performance.

Oh yea, we would like to have fun too!
