IPSC Level III Shotgun match Registration is now open

Squadding has been updated for the match! I was able to accommodate all squadding requests I received, but if there are any others please send me an email.

Please make any updates as necessary (ie standard vs standard manual, if you are a senior or super senior) by August 21st as we would like to ensure the pads are properly set up before the match gets underway.

If you have not already sent your match payment ($150) please EMT it to me at lonedrone@rocketmail.com ASAP, password shotgun if prompted for it (I am set up for auto deposit of EMT's, so you may not be asked for one).

Stages are all built and ready for some shotgun fun!!

Just a reminder to all coming that registration will open at 0800 for an 0900 start time each day.
Chamber flags are mandatory at the match as per IPSC shotgun rules, so please bring one and if you have a spare, bring it as well just in case :)
Buckshot must be 9 pellet, and Dean from Select Shooting Sports will be onsite and have ammo for sale if you need some

There are still a few shooters that have not sent me their EMT's, so if you haven't please send it ASAP.

See you on the range,

Jordan

There's still a bunch more people to shoot it on Sunday.

Scores will likely be posted on Sunday evening.

(Edited to add; Unofficial scores for Friday/Saturday have been posted on the IPSC forum.)

Great match, challenging stages with lots of options to shoot at stuff! Thanks to all involved. Shotgun is a love hate thing with me, I love it but sweet Baby Jesus it makes me insane at the same time. One miss and the entire plan goes out the window lol. One day I hope to see my name above the top six usual suspects always above me in the rankings !
 
Any shotgunners out there who didn't shoot this match because you don't have an IPSC membership and Black Badge;

Please do yourself a favor and get signed up.

There's a lot more IPSC shotgun coming to Ontario next year. You will definitely want to be a part of it !

Or maybe someone could set up one of these matches where you don't need a $400+ holster course as a pre-requisite to entry.

I get that the IPSC guys are proud of their black badge. But its a bit rich to insist on it as a requirement given how many people have action jobs or decades of experience handling firearms on the move without issues.

Glad to hear the match went well.

$400? Wow, that’s almost 4 times the cost of my black badge course and first year IPSC Membership.

But seriously, if you want to join the club, you’ve got to meet the standard set by the club. I used to think the same way but since I joined IPSC it’s been well worth the very small hassle of finding and attending a B.B. course.

Well... That might be you, but...
Having actually done that (hosted matches where no formal qualifications were required) I have come to the opposite conclusion.
It's a bit rich to expect a MD to allow total strangers with unknown abilities run around on their range with a loaded shotgun... From what I've seen there needs to be at least a minimum standard of training.
Don't forget... for every one guy who despite having no formal training can safely handle their shotgun there are ten who "think" they can, but after the timer goes off... Obviously can't.
Hell, sometimes it's apparent BEFORE they step up to the start position .
Bottom line is... If you don't meet the standard/requirements set by whomever is running the match and think it's stupid...
Set up and run your own match and run it your way.
 
I get what you are saying, but people with "action jobs" and decades of experience do not necessarily translate into safe competitors.
I've RO'd at non-IPSC matches, and had the pleasure of running a squad which included members of law enforcement. I assume they qualify under your "action jobs" category.
Their gun handling was worse than anyone else I saw at the range that day.
I'm going to assume they were not top of their class...


Black badge course is not just a holster course.
And as for cost, I've never heard of one being $400+
Regardless, the course includes the instructors time and proper instruction during 2 days of shooting, course materials, the first year's membership fee.

Above all else, if a couple hundred for a fun and very educational course which proves to everyone around you that you have been deemed safe is the roadblock, then you haven't really considered the actual costs of competing in the shooting sports.

I think if people actually did the math, many would puke upon realizing how much money they spend on competing.. Lol
The cost of guns/ammo are insignificant when compared to match fees, travel/accommodation costs.
