Getting started in IDPA in ontario

EESA might not be paid up then. If you miss paying the club fee for even a month they take you off the list.

EESA is paid up....always have been to my knowledge

Strange. Talk to Bob you should be listed then. TMC forgot to renew and we were removed for a month. After we renewed we were automatically listed within a month.

Unbelievable the misinformation on CGN sometimes.

How many stages do you guys typically set up? What does it cost for non-members?

Well I run it so I may know more. ;-). 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month. The other Thursdays are now IPSC.

If the first stage is a "hit" with everyone then we usually stick with it the whole night maybe switching to strong or weak hand only for the second and third pass. Otherwise we will set up one or two more.

Can you point me in the direction to find info on this NSO course on the 22nd? Is this necessary to shoot IDPA? How long is it?

The course on the 22nd is here...

http://www.eesa.ca/

To shoot IDPA you need the IDPA NSO(New Shooter Orientation) course or an IPSC Black Badge, CDP or similar.

Its not necessary to shoot IDPA, but most clubs won't let you compete unless your holster certified.

The course will run all day. 9-5 with lunch included. Cost is $10

Send a PM to M&P40 to register.

IDPA recommends it and the CFO wants it.

I may be wrong but I believe it used to not be necessary but it is now as per IDPA HQ.

I believe you are wrong

I don't think IDPA HQ would ever make the NSO course mandatory, US gun culture seems to be that if you've got a holster, then you're holster qualified. Holster certification in general seems to be a Canadian thing...at least in North America

Such a requirement isn't in the rule addendum or rule book, and I haven't seen any announcements on IDPAs website.

lol! I'm not editing my post, I got you on record!

Off topic, but AFAIK holster requirements are purely a club thing (unless we start talking IPSC). Probably someone somewhere had some idea that holster certs mean the shooter has a reasonable level of safety.

As you can tell, I'm not in favour of them, but must comply with gun club requirements.
