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 [...]
There were 5 matches during the month of May, including the PCC Nationals in Kamloops. Another 3 of these matches were classified as Level 3, which means more stages over 2 days and winners receive President’s medals from the National IPSC Body. It was great to see so many Abbotsford members wearing their new team [...]
Starting on Thursday May 9th we are starting practice outdoors on Range 4 from 6:30pm - 10:00pm. If anyone would like to show up an hour early to help move equipment over to the Seacan, that would be great! Our new AFGC IPSC Team jerseys have arrived and they look great! I will bring [...]
IPSC Practices are being well attended by members and they seem to be paying off as there were quite a few top placings at the first qualifier of 2024 held in Port Coquitlam. Thank you to all the volunteers who help set up and run matches! We will continue to use the indoor range [...]
Sunday afternoon IPSC practice has been very busy over the last month. I plan to continue with indoor practices until the end of March.

There are only a couple practices left before we break for the holidays. Last practices will be on Sunday Dec 10th & 17th, if enough people are interested. We’ll be back after the new year on January 7th. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! Geoff Fraser IPSC Subclub Director [...]
We have now moved IPSC Practices to the indoor range on Sunday afternoons. This seems to be a more popular time for members as many of them come from out of town and driving in the rain and dark was a hindrance. IPSC BC match dates should be announced soon. Keep an eye on [...]
The amnesty order that was set to expire at the end of October for our AR-15’s etc. has been extended until October 25, 2025. Just after the next Federal election. This Amnesty Order encompasses the firearms banned by the May 1, 2020 Order in Council. Hopefully this is good news for the shooting community. [...]
