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.
