I have absolutely no issue with that. Who the hell am I to decide what is and isn't a fun "sport"?
IPSC is fun and why should it relate to real life situations are you allowed to carry firearms in Quebec???
Uhhh, no. You got me there....
I do, however, have a CCW permit for one US state and will be receiving a 2nd permit for another state within a week or so. Between those two states, I'm good for almost half of the US of A. Which is why "I" personally have taken combat pistol courses and why "I" personally find IDPA more practical for my particular situation. Which is self-defence.
You're absolutely right, Mo. I'm a member of neither. And the reason for that is because AFTER I qualified for PPC in09', I realized that IPSC was more competition than practical shooting. And IDPA did not even exist in Quebec as of March 09'. I know because I wanted to sign up for IDPA matches here in Quebec and was told in no uncertain terms that the SQ wouldn't allow it due to rearward movement during the COF.
If that's changed and IDPA is now a possibility here in this godforsaken province, then sign me up, pardner!
That, I didn't know. How it'll help me participate in IDPA here in Quebec, I dunno. But if it will help out in any way, I'm all for it.
Guys, I ain't knockin' IPSC, PPS, checkers, stamp-collecting or any other sport/hobby/competition. I'm just saying that for myself, at this particular point in my life, I want to participate in a competition that helps me hone my defensive psitol skills. That's all. Again, who am I to say that IPSC, stamp collecting or scrabble are not valid hobbies?

why wait for them to sign you up, contact steve david and start the activity at your club, the rules are basic, the targets are easy to find and all you need is target stands and your set.... frankly startup cost is cheap.
contact steve and become part of the soloution...

if you are close to the CRAFM range, check out the IPSC matches they have there,...you might like it
just curious, how did you come to the realization about IPSC you mention above? I have tried PPC type matches, and I used to have to qualify using the B27's. I actually find PPC challenged me in different ways. Anyhow, hope you go and check out a match at CRAFM, they have the schedule on the website.
a couple of things. you do have to maintain your yearly membership in IPSC. if you do not have a membership you cannot shot a match.
Not all Sections (provinces) include the cost of the yearly membership in the BB course.
