I am ok with that, I will do it.
I am not at EOSC unless there is an IDPA practice or match so I don't go often. I really like it there and the guys running it (Greg & Joe) are great.
I am hoping to swing by RA this week, I would like to hook up with someone from this forum so they can introduce to the group instead of bombing the practice with no previous notice.
Thanks, I always like to hear we are doing a good job.
We just posted our 2014 Schedule on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/#!/eoscidpa), although odds are we will do 1 or 2 outdoor IDPA Matches this Winter.

Sure I can do that for the SO peace of mind, although in all honest considering all the experience I have and being one of the best shooters at my range and being at the top in local at IDPA competitions, EOSC, SMITH FALLS and among my local IDPA GROUP, I think the black badge course would be a waste of my money and would rather use that money towards training on handgun speed, reloading, with a tactical professional... I am not a newbie, but I understand others at the range or group do not know me and 'safety first', I am all good with that, so bottom line, if there is no other choice that doing it in order to join, I will.
I wonder why Instead of being all separate organizations there is niot one homogeneous group or ORG that could share a database of shooters, then, the different disciplines could have different rules but at least cover the basics such as safety. That way it would be easier to browse through different activities/shooting disciplines instead of jumping the same HOOP 2 times, like in my case. All safety courses should be unified allowing the shooter to join any organization he likes.
I think this type of prohibitionist rules (like separate safety courses) are great to demote the sport.
How come no one though about this before? ...blows my mind!
Thank for all the help!
If anyone here is going to the range this Thursday, please let me know so I can introduce myself. Thanks.
A little full of ourselves are we
FYI...IPSC Ontario is 1400 members and growing. The organization must be doing something right...
I was waiting for the punches in the face, I was wondering what took them so long!


so it's IDPA with a lot of former IPSC shooters that got fed up with the scoring system and guys shooting race guns, that is what I heard.
But that was not my point of that post, I was making a point that would be a lot EASIER to shoot more disciplines, hence, promoting ALL pistol disciplines instead of having clicky groups.
See the difference?
It hard to read other people's words through email or forums posts, I was not trying to make this an IDPA VS IPSC or IPSC IS THE BEST or IDPA IS THE BEST post, because it's not about it.
Neither I was trying to show off, I was just trying to make a point. At the end of the day I would like to be able to shoot more, and have fun within a nice group of shooters. That is all.
Well...if anyone gives you a hard time...be sure and remember to tell them your one of the top IDPA shooters and EOSC...and Smiths Falls
I'm sure that will set them straight.![]()
I'm sure people have their own reasons for joining IDPA...or any shooting sport for that matter.
Regarding your ability forgo any IPSC training...because of your...ahem...IDPA expertise...you clearly don;t understand what a BB is. It is not a safety course...it is a course to teach participants the principals and rules of IPSC. Period...
Your IDPA experience means nothing. No more than IPSC experience helping you understand the rules and regulations of IDPA.
Email Tim, the Section Officer on the Exec.

I do not shoot IPSC and Tim would not know my CGN persona.
