The much anticipated “Fisher and Friends” Marathon IPSC Qualifiers were held this past weekend on September 26 and 27th at Thompson Mountain in Pitt Meadows. The match consisted of 6 long stages and 190 total rounds each day. This was definitely one of the best matches IPSCBC has put on in a while.

Each stage was challenging and a ton of fun to figure out and shoot. A special thanks goes out to the great team at Thompson for their hard work and organization, espcially to Randy Fisher, Match Director and Assistant MD’s Scott Hayes and Jerome Klett.

Congratulations to the following members for their top finishes at the match:
