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. [...]
The IPSC BC Provincials were held over the long weekend at the beginning of September in Nanaimo. AFGC IPSC Club members attended and many of them had top finishes, not only in the match, but also for the year. Congratulations to our Abby IPSC Shooting Team! We will continue practices outside until the weather [...]
IPSC Practices are continuing through August and into September. The weather has been really nice to allow us to continue shooting outside. Thanks! Geoff Fraser IPSC Subclub Director
The IPSC season is busy right now with matches every weekend and the IPSC Canada Nationals in Manitoba in August. After that there are a few more matches in August and we close the season out with the BC Provincial Championships in Nanaimo on the September long weekend. Despite all the challenges we’re seeing [...]
IPSC Practices are going well on Thursday evenings. We have a good turnout of 10-14 people each week. Thank you to everyone who comes out and makes stage setup and teardown fast. The IPSC match season is now in full swing with matches across BC almost every weekend. Abby members continue to rank high in [...]
The blue barrels for IPSC were picked up and delivered by myself and Rob, they are going to be a huge help for stage design. I have devised a way to stack them safely two-high by using rubber bungee cords. This seems to work really well in our testing and they are easily detachable [...]
As the weather is starting to get better and IPSC matches are going to be on the weekends, we will be moving our weekly practices to Range 4 starting on May 11th. Quite a few members have offered to donate some blue barrels to the club to replace the ones that are all shot [...]
The IPSC Subclub is looking to purchase or have donated some 55 gallon blue barrels. The ones at the club have seen better days and need to be replaced. We could use 20-30 of them.If you have, or work for a business that needs to get rid of these (preferably non-toxic), please contact the IPSC [...]
IPSC Practices are continuing to fill up each week. The indoor range has been invaluable for us to avoid the weather and be able to consistently hold practices. The first few match registrations have gone live at IPSC BC. It looks to be quite a busy year in BC. The Abbotsford IPSC Club will be [...]
IPSC Practices in our newly refurbished indoor range have been going quite well and are well attended averaging 9-10 shooters per week. We will continue using the indoor range on Sunday afternoons until the weather is better and we can start back outside again consistently. If you would like to join the mailing list, [...]
After a couple years of delays, the IPSC Handgun World Shoot was finally held in Pattaya, Thailand this past month from November 26th - December 3rd. We had quite a few Canadian, as well as BC members travel abroad to compete despite all of the new import/export regulations that our government is putting upon [...]
It seems that interest in coming out to practice for IPSC now that the match season is over has waned quite a bit. I need at least 6 people to show up to make it worthwhile and to help with setup and teardown. Unfortunately, this just hasn’t been happening since after Labour Day. Maybe [...]
