IPSC Skills Course
On the 18/19 of May I will be holding an IPSC Skills Course hosted by the Sharon Gun Club. This course will help the students develop the fundamentals required to successfully compete in IPSC matches. We will work on:
Grip
Stance
Accuracy
Developing Speed
Draws
Reloads
Recoil Control
Transitions
Positional Shooting
Movement
Efficiency
Stage Breakdowns
Proper Practice Sessions for both Live and Dry Fire.
We will be on the range from 9am to 5pm both days, and we will be going rain or shine. Since these are long days and there will be a lot of information to cover I would recommend bringing:
Your regular, reliable IPSC pistol - This will not be a good place to try out something new or untested. If you can, I would recommend factory ammo. Reliability issues will just hold you back
Ammo - Factory if you can, otherwise make sure it is match quality. Again reliability issues will just make it difficult to get the most out of the course. (see note at bottom)
Holster, Sturdy Belt and 4 to 5 mag holders
Magazines - 5-6 preferably, make sure they are reliable
Eye and Ear Protection
Clothing - Suitable for conditions
Sunscreen - Hopefully
Water and Snacks: I will supply lunches but its a good idea to keep some food and water on hand
Pen and Paper/Notebook
Course Fee: $250
Policies:
Ammo. Due to shortages please read the following which I have borrowed with permission from Earl at Phase Line Green Tactical as I will be following this practice as well:
Ammunition Policy
We have been closely watching the situation in both the US and here at home regarding firearms ownership and firearms law. Based upon these uncertainties, we are well aware of the difficulty that many of you face in obtaining ammunition So, in keeping with the policies of many trainers south of the border, we have adopted some new policies regarding our courses and ammunition. Kyle Defoor, Larry Vickers and Paul Hotaling (ALIAS group) have developed sound policies and I believe that our policy should be reflective of theirs.
Here is Phase Line Green Tactical’s ammo policy for 2013.
A new minimum of 400 rifle rounds and 500 pistol rounds has been set for all of our 2-day classes. We don’t believe in shooting just to expend ammo but in order to get the most out of our courses, it is imperative to engage in live fire exercises. During our exercises, you will have the option of self-regulating the number of rounds that you fire per drill.
Example; if the drill calls for four rounds, firing two will be OK. This is completely student self-regulating. Please be careful so you don’t over shoot one drill and miss out on another.
ATT
Owing to recent regulatory changes by the CFO’s office, we have had to make some changes for our course attendees and sign-up policies.
For our courses in Ontario, you will now have to have an invitation letter that must accompany your ATT therefore, we will be providing your letter via email once you have paid for your course. This email will contain a personal invitation bearing your name and the club location and course dates. It is up to you to ensure that your ATT is in compliance.
The CFO is also stating that the club must maintain PAL information and the address of members and guests therefore, we will be using a new sign-up form that will require you to provide us with this information.
Please understand that your information will be held in the strictest of confidence and will be maintained securely. We do not release any client information unless it pertains to a law enforcement or public safety investigation. We also do not share your information with any other private entity or company.
We are hoping that The CFO in Ontario realizes that those who lawfully possess firearms licences, restricted and prohibited firearms are not criminals and that public safety is not compromised in any manner by law abiding citizens who are enjoying a sport and who are learning and enhancing their safe and lawful use of firearms.
If you are interested please email me and I'll put you on the course list. I will not be accepting PM or Facebook or any other contacts for sign up. I have in the past and it becomes a nightmare to keep track of.
