uspsa member shooting ipsc ??

I have never been,..but Steel Challenge Championships would be right up there in my book.
 
:agree: you are right on that one Maurice, now if I could get the money for the target setup and have a combined steel and action match...

they have all the set-ups in Dalhousie,..it helps that one of shooters is a welder by trade. In August they have the NB steel Challenge match,.it is something i missed last year,..but will be attending this year. Only difference would be the stop plate is not on timer,..but last shot is how they record it. One year they used Steel Challenge distances for stages like Smoke and hope,...but they may be using minimum 10yards...(argh)

7 or 8 steel with one paper per shooting location sounds doable,..but probably only in Dalhousie. :confused:I forget the one that I saw recently,..but it was all steel stages,...Poppers,..mini-poppers,..plates,...but i saw it on Shooting USA. I think there was a maximum rounds loaded rule,..?,..it also had Par time,..I saw some vids on youtube,..the USSA Pro-Am?

I have shot a few level IV's including being on the Canadian team for one. I checked back as far as the 1995 results for the US Nationals and didn't see your name, which year did you shoot it? :nest:

2000 - PASA - it wasn't bad, but it did not compare to the other side of the ocean. I'm not just speaking for myself. Go find the people in your neighborhood that attended the Level 4s and 5s in South Africa, and still attend the US Nats.

Enter this year's Czek / Europeans thing and see for yourself. Those that go, only want to go back - And when you attend, they're happy to see you - you won't see anything like the "Canadian" letter in December's Front Sight there.

Here's an idea - come to this year's and next year's nationals and show us how good you were back in the nineties (And for those listining - PH was very good) when you went to those L4s and win a place on the Canadian Team - then we'll pay a big chunk of your expenses to the Worlds in Greece.:stirthepot2: :D

Oh you can count on me being there, looking forward to the Nats in NS, the last one I attended there was a great match!
I might surprise you yet...lol
 
It's a residency requirement, I believe (no rule book in front of me right now). If you live "x" number of days in a country you must be a member of that region.
 
From the January 2009 edition of the Handgun Rule Book:

6.5.1 All competitors must be individual members of the IPSC Region in which they normally reside. Residency is defined as the Region where the individual is ordinarily domiciled for a minimum of 183 days of the twelve months immediately preceding the month in which the match begins. Ordinarily domiciled condition is a physical presence test and does not relate to citizenship or to any address of convenience. The 183 days need not be consecutive or the most recent 183 days of the twelve month period. In any case, match organizers must not accept any competitor from a foreign Region unless the Regional Director of that Region has confirmed the competitor's eligibility to participate in the subject match.

"Regional Director of that Region has confirmed the competitor's eligibility to participate in the subject match".....
Just curious, how would that be figured? If it doesn't relate to citizenship or address of convenience how would you know someone is in another Region for 183 days?

No, only if you are already a member of IPSC Canada.

what if i'm a citizen of neither us or canada and my country of citizenship does not have an ipsc section?

You're unfortunately out of luck, but as it's been pointed out - it's not citizenship that matters. You have to be a member where you live most of the time - first and foremost. After that requirement, you can join as many regions as you want.

Easy. It's up to them to prove it. If they can't - they don't shoot.
