Hey guys

I am interested in shooting IPSC rifle here in Ontario

What do I need to start shooting? What kind of mags do you guys use and how many do I need to carry on me?

Thanks
 
Shoot what you want for fun but if you want to be competitive serbinator has the scoop. Some folks do OK with red-dots but on longer-range stages with IPSC mini-targets or frangibles the red-dots are less competitive.

If you're using Beowulf mags, you need at least 3 mags but 4 are better. Bigger stages can be 40 rounds minimum and you're likely going to use more than the minimum rounds.

To keep the mags a chest rig is OK but belt mounted mag pouches seem a little faster. Also, make sure you have a chamber flag for the match.
 
Look at the IPSC rule book, appendix D.
It will spell out the different divisions and the configuration of your rifle in order to compete in that division.
There are different divisions for optics and irons, semi and manual action etc.

As far as magazine limits, we are limited by Canadian firearm laws.
 
pauls, you've got that exited at rifle practice last night that you jumbed right into answering rifle questions as soon as you got back from the range at 1am? :)
