We have a nice range here on CFB Petawawa with great facilities and some people interested in attending a Black Badge course .
Would there be a way to run a course through our club ..... I guess it would depend on the numbers and if we could get instructors to come up here .

Is there a list of instuctors I could contact to try and set this up for our club members and others from the area ?

I read S.B is running a course at ESSA in May .
 
Go to the IPSC website and contact the Black Badge coordinator, he will be able to help you
Or PM me and I might be able to make a weekend of it and come up there and put on a course for you
 
You can go to IPSC Ontario website and contact the Black Badge coordinator. Instructors are available although they may need to get a temporary ATT if the course is to be conducted on the base and your range is not certified by the Ontario CFO. Are all you interested members RPAL holders. They would need to be to compete in IPSC.
 
Contact Tritium, he's up that way and I believe has permits to go on base already, hell, if he's teaching I may come up to help...lol
 
If Tritium can't do it, I am sure we can get another willing instructor out to you guys. email for the coordinator(me) is blackbadge@ipsc-ont.org.
 
It's the little metal badge you earn by passing the IPSC qualification course, which is termed the "Black Badge course"

Is there an IPSC rule that says this? One does not need a PAL to shoot a gun. They merely need to be supervised by someone who does have a license as per The Firearms Act. Unless there is an IPSC rule I don't know about a PAL is not a requirement, though of course it is highly reccomended....




In fact I know lots of junior shooters that are too young to hold a PAL, but still have a BB and compete with their parents guns, so I'm almost certain a PAL is not a requirement to shoot IPSC.
 
In fact you don't need an RPAL to shoot IPSC, but you'll have a hard time getting a gun to any competition unless you always borrow someone's that travels with you. If an adult doesn't have an RPAL, he is wasting time and money taking an IPSC BB course.

I was shooting IPSC style handgun COF for over a year at my local league night with the local IPSC guys before I ever took my BB. They guys taught me alot, but I still learned more in that weekend BB course than I did in the entire year before.

Lots of people take BB courses to become more familiar and comfortable with a handgun. As I said before, a PAL and owning a gun is highly reccommended, but not a requirement.
