as long as you pay your IPSC membership its good, you don't have to shoot any matches at all. If you stop being a member for a few years then you have to redo the course.

In Canada, you have to shoot at least one match within a year in order to keep your membership/badge. Correct me if I am wrong.:)
 
i am not sure if it is a Canadian thing or a section rule. In Alberta if you haven't shot a match in a year (even if you have kept your membership up) you have to be re-certified by a BB instructor. more then two years and you have to take the course over.

And once you have a Black Badge, is it good for life? Is there a yearly membership fee? Periodic re-qualifications? Minimum yearly match participation requirement?

when itook the course a few years back, i was then told you HAVE to attend a "qualifier" match. there are only a couple here every year. they fill up fast. when i asked them about this, they told me no problem, just head to kelowna, or prince george, vernon, etc for the qualifiers there.

sorry, but i don't have time to drive hundreds of kilometers every year to maintain my badge, just to play locally....
 
Last year, we held 6 Qualifiers in the Lower Mainland zone, and since then, IPSCBC has made changes to the rules that prevented more Lower Mainland qualifiers. Unfortunately, one of the 2 clubs that hosts IPSC matches here is putting on next year's Nationals and I don't know what that will do to next year's local competition schedule.
 
i was told by a fellow shooter that here in quebec the IPSC matches don't involve running and reloading. according to him you have to holster the gun every time you move

is it right?
 
From what I was told by Quebec Section shooters, in Quebec you can not move forward with the pistol at the COF.
Only side ways.
Am I wrong on this?
 
That's right, shooters are not allowed to go forward across the "line" in Quebec IPSC matches. Sideways scuttling, or running along the line with the muzzle pointed downrange, is the norm.

The topic of reholstering between sight pictures... Never seen that come up. Sounds like a lovely way to blow one's strong-side shin off.

The real problem, in Quebec IPSC circles, is the Black Badge itself. It's thirty inches in diameter, two inches thick, cast from aluminium bronze, and the SQ have decreed that the shooter must wear it at all times while the holster & pistol are on the belt.

As a consequence, I had to leave the holster sports for a couple of years due to a herniated disc and a blown knee. But I've been weight-training, and I'm better now.

It's Different Section by Section; Different year requirements - but generally the same theme.
