Ken, - thanks for the kind words.
Chris - wasn't me. I just heard about this from you now - crap - was looking forward to shootin' with you.
Oh great - now I'm starting in the bunker. Better practice up on plates before June if I'm going to start out on the hard stuff.

I don't understand, it sounds like you want to start the club, so you're going to be the match director for your matches.
Why not just be an IPSC match director and
a) pull the targets in closer, so your distant pie plates look bigger and are easier to shoot at
b) create stages that are based on scenarios that you think are fun and interesting
I would rather shoot B zones at fifty yards! I once set up a stage for the Sharon Open with three El Presidente's, 10 yards, 20 yards and forty yards. I prefer fun targets to the ######l ones we have now.
Because I'm typically the MD for our club matches lol
As I said, I like the uspsa rule book better. Well..... except for the 3-2-1 rule, I actually like it. I know you guys probably think I'm trolling you now because everyone hates it, except me.
I miss the speed shoots that we used to have. They may have been 4 rounds, or 6 or 8 but it was draw and shoot. Now, if we have a 6 round stage, you will probably have to get your gun and mags out of a briefcase or shoot weak hand or some damn thing. Sometimes 15 or 20 hit factors are fun!
You can always make an ipsc target smaller by adding hard cover or no shoots. I really miss the 50 yard targets! (I don't mean I really miss them, I usually hit them)
Yes!
Or a 20m sprint that has nothing to do with shooting.
What's the point of having a speed holster when you can't use it?
Then throw an IPSC mini target out at 75 yards. The 3:2:1 rule only applies to level 3 matches and above, too.
None of the reasons you have given for wanting to shoot USPSA in Canada are things that can't be done within the structures of IPSC.
A target is a target is a target. If you are so concerned about how the stage looks, then dress things up. Make it pretty, but the nature of the game isn't going to change.
I suppose you're going to say that steel challenge is no fun because the targets are rectangles and circles?
Bianchi is no fun because the targets are tombstones?
Bullseye would be way more fun if they were shooting at USPSA targets?
There was one target at 80 yards in Regina 1985. The speed shoots were great! Some of the best local matches were only a few rounds, maybe 20 or so.
Yup, use the A in the B zone!
Anything is better than shooting at ######s!
One thing from reading this thread is I really, really feel like shooting period!!! Got club practice this Thursday, all day practice Friday and two matches Saturday. Possible divorce Sunday. 
I kid, I kid my wife is awesome and I always make up the time with family.
Yeah Sean if they are using those diamond shaped steel plates in the bunker again you need to be ready. Thanks for reminding me. Going to cut some paper plates into tiny diamonds for practice.

That hurts! You know I just turned 710! Next it will be airsoft, right???
Oh, yeah! They thought it was a new volcano! I hyperventilated blowing them out!
