IPSC black badge in southern Ontario?

[Jmassecar]

Does anyone know where I can get my black badge in southern Ontario? Anywhere from London to the GTA is doable. I'd like to get into IPSC. Thanks!

If you google IPSC Ontario they have a link to Black Badge courses on their main page.

Your best bet is to check with your club and see if they are holding one or are willing to hold one.

And if all else fails you can contact blackbadge coordinator for Ontario. Blackbadge@ipsc-ont.org

I was in your position for about a year, asking around couldn't find a course, if I did it was already full.

I contacted the black badge coordinator a few months ago, and he told me he was waiting on a few courses and would be putting them up on the website soon. So to just keep checking the site

And he was not joking! As I finally got in on a course coming up in June, the course was posted on the site the day before I sent an Email asking to get in on it. They responded the same day, saying there was only 2 out of 12 positions left. So it was already fully booking within a day or 2! So you really have to check the site everyday, or you will miss out as they get fully booked fast

I might know a BB instructor who will be hosting one at the end of May. There might be only one spot left. PM if interested.

Thanks, I ended up getting on a course in March. Now to do my provisional shoot does anyone know how long it takes ipsc to approve your registration on the ipsc site? It's been about a week

I noticed I got access to the site as soon as I got an email saying my account has been made. I am not sure if that is the norm across the board.

Well would you look at that! I got access but never got an email. I'm glad I asked! Thanks

IPSC ONT is a little behind in "paperwork" right now. One of the main chaps that did a lot of the behind the scenes work has stepped "back". They will get caught up. Everything in IPSC is on a volunteer basis I believe, its a tough slog, gotta love the sport.

Perfect. Now you can check out the matches and sign up for one and pass that provisional. There's a Guelph match this weekend if you're up for it. Not the easiest first match but close to home.

Who stepped back?

Yeah aragorn1, who stepped back?

Finding courses in Southern Ontario seems pretty difficult.. Every day just checking and hoping one pops up

Hey NickVR, check your inbox.

Hey NickVR, check your inbox.

I did.. no messages?

 

[dacron]

He just wanted to make sure you look at it occasionally and don't neglect it, he didn't message you.

Anyone here doing the BB course at Sharon this May 27/28?

 

[cereal83]

Usually Sharon doesn't advertise their courses so I doubt it.
