There is a really good shooting club scene in Southern AZ.I'm not an IDPA fan either, but a lot of the above can also depend on the clientele and not the particular organization. The 2-Gun match I shoot is an outlaw match and there's a LOT of LARP'ing that happens there (from various timelines). If you want to hang out with that group, you can squad up with them.
Personally that's not my jam, so the group I squad up with focuses on marksmanship, safety, and camaraderie, though many of us may still have lights and LAMs on guns. But it's because those of us that do also shoot the guns in other environments that utilize them.
The Forgotten Weapons dude is there and one club would add a variety of their own LARP categories. One was a WW2 LARP division for 2 gun…one dude showed up with a Garand and 1911
Others were Cold War and GWOT…lotta interesting guns out of those.
