Just a reminder that we are shooting tomorrow!

Someone will be at the range for 8:30am so come on out and help set up.  I have 7 stages ready to go with a round count 116.  We’ll see what we’re going to use when we get there.

See you there.

It’s a GO! IPSC Match on Saturday April 8th, 2017

Hello folks, *** if you are reading this on FaceBook, please share the post so that everyone sees it! ***

I was at the range today.  There’s a couple of inches of snow on the Range and a bit of snow in front of the equipment shed; but otherwise there shouldn’t be a problem having our match on Saturday.

Don’t forget that we are looking to get our orders done as soon as possible for the Club Shirts!  The larger the order, the less per unit cost.  I’ll be bringing the sample sizes that I have from the manufacturer.

See you at the Range!

MATCH SCHEDULE Change in March

Hello folks,

I hope that everyone is keeping busy during the winter here!  I’m sure that everyone is looking forward to getting back out on the range and shooting a match.

We were scheduled to have a Level I Match at the Rod and Gun on March 25th; however, I’ve been informed that there will be quite a few regular shooters that will not be able to make it at that time (out-of-province or tied up with other things).  So we are going to move that Match to Saturday, April 8th.  We will follow the same timings as the regularly scheduled match on March 25th.

I hope that this doesn’t inconvenience too many shooters and we certainly look forward to seeing everyone at the range.

Rick Crane, IPSCNL

Don’t forget about the IPSCNL Club Shirts!  I have received sample sizes from the manufacturer and will be bringing these to the matches for people to determine their size.  I have short-sleeve and long-sleeve samples.

IPSC Match CANCELLED for Jan 21st

Hello shooters, As you can see below – the forecast weather for Hollyrood is not going to help us conduct a match tomorrow (Jan 21st)!  I’m planning on going to the Indoor Range at Complete Gunsmith if they are open just to get out and shoot – I’ll practice something, somehow.  LOL  If anyone is interesting in joining me – send me a message and we can plan for it. Next scheduled match is February 18th – if we get a chance to shoot a makeup Match for this cancelled match I will be sure to post it here! Stay in out of the blizzard and gas up the snowblower (or get your shovels ready)! Rick Crane, IPSCNL

Not good!

IPSC Match Nov 26th, 2016

Hello Shooters, There is a Match scheduled for Saturday – it will be going ahead as planned!  The weather is looking clear with a few clouds – no rain in sight.  It may be a little chilly  but – that’s all part of being in NL!  I will be heading out early to start the fire in the Long Branch and set things up.  As always, any help is appreciated.  Depending on time and temperature I plan on breaking halfway through the stages to head inside and have something to eat.  It’s also a chance to chat about what’s coming down the pipe for IPSCNL.  So come on out!   I have 4 stages ready to go with the ability to drop in 2 more if we need – or we could run the initial 4 stages in 2 strings.  Lots of options!  Minimum round count for the 4 stages is 60 rounds but could be as many as 160 before the day is out.  😉 Look forward to seeing everyone at the Range!

Classifier Stages Sept 25th 2016

Hello shooters, There is a Match scheduled for Sunday, Sept 25th 2016; however, all of the stages will be Classifiers. The match still costs $10 per person to register. If you wish to have your scores submitted for Classification it will cost an extra $10 to be paid to IPSC International to process the scores and generate the Classification [the money is not for me!!!]. ($20 in total)  I will be submitting the scores online using WinMSS. The stages are attached. We sent numerous shooters to the Nationals this year without a Classification. If you haven’t submitted the appropriate information in the last 2 years then your Classification has expired. So, I am conducting this weekend’s shoot as an opportunity for shooters to shoot the minimum number of Classifier Stages and they can submit the necessary info to receive a classification; if they wish to do so. Please review the links below as they explain a lot about this process. If you are unsure about how to ‘classify’ or what it involves, see the following links: What is a Classification? Classification – Frequently Asked Questions IPSC Classifiers for Sept 25th 2016 I have chosen nine (9) possible stages to set up; only four (4) are required for a Classification but if there are eight (8) or more stages in the system, they will use the best four (4) stages to determine your classification.  The minimum round count is 91 to complete the 9 classifiers; so plan to bring extra. I’m looking forward to this.  The stages MUST be set up as outlined in the attached stage designs!  Any and all help with the stage layout will be appreciated as it takes a little time to measure off the distances properly.  The stages are simple in design but we would appreciate any, and all, help with the layout. I will be at the range around 8:00am to start with the layout.  First shots are planned for 10:00am.  I look forward to seeing as many of you out there to have a relaxed shooting day. Rick Crane, Section Coordinator, IPSCNL
