If they do IDPA maybe they also have IPSC
www.uspsa.org or steel matches as well. I just got involved this fall myself... it is all fun. Adds a new aspect to just punching holes in paper.
I've shot my .22's in steel, revovlers in IPSC and semi-auto's in IDPA. If your local club is anything like mine, just grab you gear and some common sense and head out to a match. The regulars will hold your hand at first.
