Hello folks, I'm just a regular guy that enjoys the action shooting sports. I participate in Steel Challenge and IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation). It's all great fun and I encourage folks to go to your local range and give it a try.

IPSC Matches and Range Construction UPDATES

Written by Rick Crane on . Posted in General Announcement

Hello shooters,

Reminders:

  • The range clean-up day at the St. John’s Rod & Gun club is happening tomorrow, June 3rd.  All help is welcome and the Executive was actually out there this week and have started most of it.  Please drop out to lend a hand for a couple of hours.  Lunch is provided up at the Clubhouse.

  • The construction start date for the NEW Range A is scheduled for June 12th.  Construction will happen during the weekdays (Monday-Friday from 7am-6pm) and the range will be closed during those hours.

The match that was planned for Clarenville tomorrow is cancelled.

Our regularly scheduled match for next week is planned for Saturday!  Hopefully the weather helps us get some range time!  Look for further updates during the week.

Happiness!

Black Badge Certification Course May 6-7th 2017

Written by Rick Crane on . Posted in BLACK BADGE

We had our first BB Certification Course of the year on May 6-7th.  It was a full class of 10 participants.  The Instructor was Steve Chapeskie while we had 2 Instructor Candidates (Rick Crane & Paul Barrow).  The weather for the weekend was chilly but we had blue skies all weekend!  That is rare for us to experience. All 10 students safely completed the practical component and passed the exam.  They just need to safely complete an IPSC Handgun Match.  Here are some photos from the weekend’s course. The next BBC Course is scheduled for July 29-30th 2017. Congratulations to all and have fun shooting!!!  Big thanks to Steve C and Paul B for helping run this course.
