Canada is not listed on IHMSA website. But I wonder if these 'unsactioned" events still occur?

I feel like a dinosaur regards handguns. I like 50 meter pistol and I desire to shoot steel with the DW. That's about it.....

Canada is now included in one of the American regions, and the "Canadian " director sits in Ontario and does one shoot per year.
Was big in the west 25 years ago but not down east, so felt an eastern director might make it Canada wide, ........instead it was allowed to die!
A lot of clubs still have the targets and maybe do a bit of rifle shooting, but lots don't have the range or any demand. Sad, because there are lots of 200 yards ranges and lots of big bore handguns not getting sufficient outings.
My best suggestion is to bring the subject up at your club's AGM, and get a bunch together that want to shoot. Our club still has the facilities and does offer it along with the Cowboy rifle shoots, but sadly there's hardly anyone who wants to do sufficient practice to hit at long range. I've shot since the late 70's but really think most of the old crew hung up their guns or sold them off to collect moss. Do notice lots of IHMSA guns coming on the market by the old shooters. We need some to start pushing their clubs to get back into it, ........provide the facilities and the shooters will come!

This club holds the IHMS in Ontario. They were on the last episode of CCFR down range.

There might be some guys shooting informally at the Taber AB range. I heard that the handgun silhouette shooters were the ones who pushed to add a 200m range in addition to the 100, 600, and 50m ranges. Yes, we are spoiled out here . I'm tempted to build a bolt action 223 pistol and start plinking at steel.

The Saskatoon Wildlife Federation managed to retain a portion of the centerfire silhouette range complex when decertified last year, there are only a portion of the target stands remaining. There is no real organized competition , members will show up ,set up the targets and have fun. The Rimfire portion still exists in its entirety.

Thank you sir for this current information.

Cheers
