IPSC Canada Nationals 2016

Hello shooters, Here is a little video that I put together to show you some of the stages that we shot at the Nationals in Nova Scotia at the end of July.  As you will see; there are places to improve and things to practice.  😉  Enjoy! Rick Crane  

Results for Steel Challenge on Aug 9th 2016

We had 7 folks show up but we put lots of lead downrange!  It was a great evening to shoot and everyone was relaxed and having fun. We shot Stage 1 (True Steel) a total of 5 times and dropped the highest time.  Stage 2 (Texas Star) was shot 3 times by everyone and all 3 times were used for the calculation. See results link at the end of the post. Looking forward to seeing you at the range again. Rick Crane Aug 9th 2016 Steel Challenge
