I am an IPSC member,....I interpreted it as they are IPSC Canada representatives. Why would you comment on something you don't participate in?
 
Oh come on...

I could spend the rest of the day pulling out snippets of everyones posts (including yours) without complete context to back it up...and make you all look like whatever I choose (ellitists, liberals, candy asses :cool:...)

So let me give you some context. It was a response in relation to "IPSC rules suck". Sean represents IPSC Canada (all of IPSC Canada) to the General assembly (IPSC World) I represent IPSC Ontario to IPSC Canada (through the National Executive Council) He was reffering to raw numbers...not the level of importance of any one individual or Section.

I've sat at many an NEC meeting...with all sections present (Provinces) and I can tell you one thing...no one leaves that meeting feeling marginalized...regardless of how large or small the section is.

For anyone who claims that they "ARE" something greater than themselves...

ar·ro·gance
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
: an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions

Honestly - shoot what you shoot, compete in what you compete in. I don't care. I respect your choices, you respect mine, and let's just admit we love "The Shooting Sports" writ large.

Then maybe we can face the opposition together.

But you (and you know who you are) are part of the problem with this policitized BS. Your sense of entitlement is nauseating...
 
Ahhhh...you gotta love all the testosterone flowing in here. LOL!!! At the risk of being flamed in the worst way(being a noob), I have personally encountered a fair bit of condescension from IDPA shooters when they find out I am an IPSC member. I do not have a delicate ego and chalked it up to human nature as it is expressed in almost every competitive sport throughout the world. I was quite surprised at their disparaging comments about our rules and conduct, but nonetheless everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm sure that IPSC, PPC, etc. shooters have shared their less than flattering feelings about the other competitive shooting disciplines as well. There are good and bad people throughout the world and we will never get around that fact in our lifetimes.
As fellow shooters, it would be in all of our best interests to support each others' choices in the types of competitive shooting we prefer. IT IS STILL SHOOTING!!
The last time I checked, the general anti-gun populace is more than willing to jump on the bandwagon using any complaints we have about each other against us.
Please remember the common bond we all share and help preserve it by contributing to the unity of our firearm community, not dividing us and making us easy to conquer.
Any of you interested in trying any of these types of shooting, don't let a few egomaniacs dissuade your enthusiasm for the sport of shooting.
No product is greater than the sum of its' parts. It is the people that make the sport what it is, not the other way around.

I am not sure why people get lured into these discussions with "Steve David JR"

A man convinced against his will,is of the same opinion still.

Steve won't change,so let him go on his merry way!

The fact that he always needs to compare IDPA to IPSC speaks volumes,people always compare things to the #1

I have to strongly disagree with you! You have Steve all wrong. If everyone put their emotions aside and just looked at what Steve is getting at. Safety is the most important thing in IPSC, IDPA, CDP, ODPL, etc. As long as an IDPA member is holster qualified why shouldn't he be allowed to participate in IPSC? I have shot IPSC at my local club and I only have my CDP Shield holster qualification. Those IPSC guys were always inviting and great to be around. I heard about IPSC members having an elitist attitude but never thought that about the IPSC guys at our club. I guess it's true about some other IPSC members!

Works the same in my neck of the woods.

IDPA shooters can shoot IPSC club matches without a BB.

If you want to shoot Level II or above you have to pay your money and take the course. Seems fair enough to me.

I shot IDPA for about a year and then took the BB so I could get more shooting in. Very glad I took the course. Lots of fun and learned a lot about the rules etc for IPSC.

I hear have heard IDPA guys shooting their mouths off about IPSC and then I go to a Qualifier and hear some IPSC guy shooting off about IDPA. I treat them both the same...tune them out and get back to why I am there - shooting and having fun.

I will leave the BS arguing to all the internet Pros. I am too busy having fun.

Sorry...I tried to let this pass but it is just too irratating...what the hell are you talking about?

I am an IPSC member and my face feels fine...no stinging or anything.

As a non-IPSc member you have no right to post such a statement.

When one or two people claim to be the entire sport, they're doing a real disservice to the hundreds of members competing who actually are the sport. IPSC is not successful because of one or two people, just like no sports team is successful without fans.

And I don't need to be an IPSC member to make such a statement.
 
It's me

Yeah I'm still here:D

I have been all over the place.

I have shot 5 IPSC Qualifiers since April - all the way from Terrace to Port Coquitlam and then back to Prince George:dancingbanana:

I am at home on the mend right now from a small surgical procedure so i have time to harass all you guys....and the nitwits too.

One thing you have to love about this site, and the internet as a whole I guess, lack of knowledge is no hinderance to having an uninformed opinion.:cool:

You see you got that totally wrong.

The truth of the matter is they REPRESENT the sport.

Quigley is the properly elected REPRESENTATIVE of IPSC Ontario.

Sean is the properly ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE of IPSC Canada.

Likewise IPSC has other member who are ELECTED at various levels right up to the top Executives ( Currently the President is a Canadian BTW).

Mind you some days I think that the Execs at the WB of IPSC have their heads up their puttuties........but it is hard to argue with a democratic system.
Who is the eleted head of IDPA again? Damned if I can remember their name.
 
STORMBRINGER.... phew, YOUR ALIVE !!!!

EESA will still be open then..... wow, I really dodged the bullet there, I KNOW if you ever pass on eesa will be closing the doors and shutting down. :)

really dodged the bullet there...
 
Well Westie...I have to give you guys one thing. You're name is better...and more accurate!

There is nothing Practical about Practical Shooting...but you guys sure are defensive...:cool:

After reading this thread all I can say is something that Nike came up with.

JUST SHOOT IT

I can't wait until next week when yet again we will discuss IPSC Vs IDPA.
I think I am going to start shooting Cowboy. In fact I am of the opinion that it is a far better sport because they get to shoot 3 guns and it seems to me the participants do not try to convince the other shooting sports that there's is better. In fact, every time I practice IDPA or IPSC or Action pistol and have to wait until the cowboy shooters finish, they ask me if I would like to join them and try their toys. It may be that they have the best kept secret. Guys this is getting a little old.
 
quigly, I see you as well made it another morning, phew.... things will continue and not be shut down, I am so happy (in my pants)

i love you man.... :)

Actually, it should be called the International Politically Correct Shooting Confederation or IPCSC.
