Talon Designer to Sponsor the 2026 IDPA National Championship Presented by JP Enterprises
The International Defensive Pistol Association has announced that Talon Designer has signed on as a sponsor for the 2026 IDPA National Championship Presented by JP Enterprises.
Talon Designer is built to make match planning and stage communication easier, more accurate, and more visual. For Match Directors, the platform helps simplify everything from measured stage setup, inventory, and match book creation to automated AI-generated stage briefs. Clubs can also work collaboratively with multiple users, making it easier for match staff to build, review, and organize stages together. 
One of the platform’s standout features is its use of digital 3D stage briefs, giving Match Directors a more realistic way to communicate stage layouts before competitors ever arrive on the range. Instead of relying only on flat diagrams and pages of written descriptions, clubs can create clearer, more detailed representations of the stages competitors will actually see.
For shooters, Talon Designer offers a more intuitive way to prepare for a match. Rather than sorting through pages of traditional stage briefs and trying to visualize a course of fire from a two-dimensional drawing, competitors can review more realistic stage layouts and get a better understanding of what to expect on match day.
“We’re proud to support IDPA and congratulate the organization on 30 years of growing and strengthening the shooting sports community. We’re excited to be part of this year’s National Championship”, said Brett Newcome of Talon Design.
The 2026 IDPA National Championship match is scheduled for Sept. 24-26, 2026, at the Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, OH. The Championship will host approximately 400 shooters who compete over three days of competition as they run through a variety of intense defensive situations.
