Pre-Registration is mandatory and closes November 27th.

Following are some excerpts from the emailed notice:

The next IPSC Canada Black Badge Certification course is scheduled for December 2/3 - 2017 at the Atlantic Marksmen Association Indoor Range in Halifax, NS.

This course is the mandatory introductory course for anyone who wants to shoot IPSC in Canada. It teaches advanced handgun techniques; safely surmounting obstacles, moving and shooting, drawing, changing sources of ammunition on the fly, weak hand shooting, strong hand shooting and various shooting positions. It also teaches the fundamentals of the IPSC rules.

This course is made for IPSC Shooting. If you are looking for advanced handgun training, and not interested in participating in IPSC Shooting,
PLEASE look elsewhere for your firearms training.

Pre-Registration is mandatory and closes November 27th since I have to get the students package to the participants before the class. You are registered when your payment is received.

Registration must be sent via check, money order or EMT to IPSC NS, PO Box 51032 RPO Rockingham Ridge Halifax, NS B3M 4R8. (Make it out to IPSC NS) EMT to ipscnovascotia@gmail.com (Use password "IPSCNSBB2017")

Please fill out the registration form located at http://www.extremeshooting.ca/misc/registrationformbb.pdf
and mail it in with your entry fee if you want in or scan a filled out form and email it with the EMT.

YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED UNTIL WE HAVE RECEIVED BOTH A SIGNED FORM AND FULL PAYMENT

Note that this class will be limited to the first **10** participants that send in their fee. Anyone past that will definitely receive a refund and be put on the wait list for the next course.
