a very well attended event on Sunday, despite the heat and smoke over 30 shooters participated in the event. CGN was well represented, with at least 8-10 members involved, 5 in our squad alone! My wife shot her first IDPA, and although she was nervous at the start, the CGN boys made her feel right at home and she shot very well for her first time thanks to the help of the many experienced shooters we were fortunate to shoot with!
CGN'er Trailskinpat and I shot our second match, and I believe we both saw improvement, and we both shot our first clean round!!
I would like to thank fellow CGN'ers Still alive, Smelly Pete for the help they provided my wife, and a big shout out to Caje for a great job as SO, you kept our squad on track and focused on safety and the task at hand, and also for taking the time to make the wife much more confident in her runs!!
I also can't say thanks enough to Robpad for the unbelievable amount of work he puts in to make this happen ( also Nick, don't know if he is on here?) , and it was great to see Ironman0731 come out with his lady to check it out, hope to see you next shoot bud!!
After reading many of his posts,and taking his advice ,it was nice to finally meet BCRider also, had a very nice convo at lunch and look forward to meeting again.
All in all, it was a great time, and if you are thinking of giving it a go, get out to Chilliwack, some of the best, friendliest people I have ever met, and a credit to the shooting community!
If any attendees have any pics, please post them here, I have quite a few vids, but being technologically retarded can't get them to upload lol

Congrats on your standing in the match! AND even more amazing how your wife finished. Missed first place ladies by 4 seconds? First time ever shooting an IDPA match.
Well done edgy! And thanks for the popcorn again!!
Thanks SA, I'm pretty proud of the wife, I knew she could do well, but she did even better than I expected :)

What? No #####ing, whining and complaining that is often seen during that 'other' pistol shooting sport? Lol.
Yes, a nice group of attendees at the Chilliwack IDPA matches. It was a little warm and smoky but the upside was the haze kept the temperature down a little.
 
Edgy has some. Anyone can give him pointers on how to post them? Recorded on an iPhone.
I swear to god I've tried on 15 different occasions to upload a video in the last two days. I'm even a team member to try and make it easier but no such luck, just cannot get them to load :)
Every time I try to manage attachments it just starts downloading and never stops, just keeps thinking but not doing lol

Don't look at me! I'm a technological Neanderthal. Maybe PM a moderator and ask?

Put it up on YouTube.
 
Happy to see this thread, just joined Chilliwack (literally, yesterday LOL, and am super happy with the people I met out there; not so happy about Hwy 1 being closed or the two hours it took to get home, but, that's life) and am keen to try my hand at IDPA / IPSC, that is, if my PAL ever arrives. LOL. I'm sure it will, one day.

Use YouTube. If you want you can make it not searchable and only viewable by link. I do that before publicly posting match footage (sometimes they organization wants to prescreen all footage, things look worse on film than in person mostly safety things).

Many people were stuck on Hwy 1 because of that mill fire yesterday. It appeared the fire was burning right up to the side of the Hwy. Good news is I don't think anyone was hurt. Bad news is people have lost their jobs.

Chewy06, come on out and check out the Sept match.
