On the weekend of June 28-29th, the AFGC IPSC Subclub hosted a long anticipated Level 2 IPSC Match. We had 240 competitors compete with over 35,000 rounds put downrange. There were shooters from all over BC including the Okanagan, Kootenays, up North and the Island along with our local Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley [...]
The June match is only 3 weeks away and things are hitting the calm before the storm. We are in the final preparation stages getting ready for the 128 competitors scheduled for each day of the match. There were multiple Level 2 matches in May over BC including Terrace, Kamloops, Pitt Meadows and Trail [...]
Our June IPSC match registration opened this week and we sold out over 250 spots in less than 5 minutes! There is a lot of excitement about AFGC returning to hold matches after so many setbacks.

We are continuing to hold small workbees to get our equipment ready for the June match. Thank you to everyone who has come out and volunteered, we really can not do it without you! Sincerely, Geoff Fraser
IPSC Practices are being well-attended on Sundays. Thank you everyone for your dedication to practicing for the upcoming season. The match organization is moving along smoothly, the stages have been designed and just need to be gone through with a fine tooth comb so we can ensure a smooth build day and match. I [...]
IPSC Practice is starting again on January 12th and we will continue on the indoor range until the end of March. As matches will be starting in April, we will probably have to move back to Thursdays on the outdoor range at that time. I have made the difficult decision to reduce the [...]
The latest round of gun bans from the Liberal Government has been devastating for IPSC. After the handgun ban, we had been focused on growing the PCC (Pistol Calibre Carbine) Division of the sport, but now that has been completely neutered. The only form of carbines left would be using pistol conversion kits. Almost all [...]
It’s official AGFC will be hosting 2 Level II IPSC Handgun Matches this summer on June 28th & 29th. My fingers are crossed that the Clubhouse renovations will be completed by then. IPSC Practice will continue on the indoor range Sunday mornings while the weather is unpredictable and the new landscaping takes root on the [...]
The IPSC Club hosted a 2 day IPSC Mastery Course with Hwansik Kim this past month and 12 shooters attended. The knowledge and expertise that were gained from the course will surely help those shooters improve their skills for the next season. If there is enough interest for another course in the spring, we [...]
The Provincials are over and that tends to mark the end of the shooting season for the year in BC. Congratulations to everyone for doing well. AFGC had a great podium count! A special congratulations to Justin Yan as the most improved shooter for the year with a 32% increase in scores over [...]
We are continuing through our season with matches nearly every weekend, local and around the Province. The IPSC Handgun Nationals in Ontario are coming up in August and we will have some members representing the BC Team. Thursday night practices will continue through the month and I will try to keep coming up with [...]

It was great to see so many Abbotsford members wearing their new team [...]
