Good Day Everyone,
We have a match scheduled for Saturday Oct 31st however with this being Halloween weekend, we have a lot of members committed to events and are not able to attend Saturday’s match. Considering this, Rick Crane & I are still planning to head out to the range tomorrow at 9:30am to set up a friendly course of fire just to get the smell of gun powder in the air and get the competitiveness flowing . We are looking at a 3-4 stages set up (see attached) .
We will set up at 10:00am and plan to start the practice around 11:00. Any help setting up will be greatly appreciated. I will put the BBQ & Coffee on for anyone interested (free of charge of course).
Also as this will be a non-sanctioned IPSC match , there will be no fees for Saturday’s practice day.
We hope to see you at the range!
Thanks , John
Good Day IPSC NL Members ,
We are down to the last few matches for 2015 season and the weather is starting to turn colder. As many of you know , in Newfoundland , we continue to practice shooting over the winter months on Range C however the weather certanily plays havoc on attendance. This year we are looking for your feedback on the level of interest for Indoor IPSC Air Soft Training.
We started this unofficially last year and have acquired a lot of the scaled down props such as poppers , plates walls , drop spinner targets, etc. and this proved to be a lot of fun. We use the same rules as IPSC and the Air Soft guns we used were very accurate and realistic.
We are currently in the process of looking for an indoor “heated” space for this year’s winter season and in order to get a good feel on the size of space required , we would ask that you drop us an email at membership@ipscnl.ca to let us know if you are interested in participating in 2016.
If any one has any questions or requires more info , please contact us anytime at membership@ipscnl.ca .

————————————–From the IDPA Website:
Sponsored and organized by IDPANL, this is an event in recognition and memoriam of our late friend and fellow club member Tony Mackey, who passed away this past January.
As well as making a number of significant contributions to the St John’s Rod & Gun Club, and especially to the development of the rifle and pistol events and facilities, Tony really enjoyed cowboy action shooting. And for good reason! It is a lot of fun.
This will be primarily a steel shoot, for ease of scoring and target setting, with a minimum of paper targets.
For those of you who have never participated in cowboy action shooting, it is similar to 3 gun but with a minimum of movement and styled in the fashion of the Wild West. Participants are encouraged to wear period costume, including cowboy hats, boots, etc. Stages are themed, and typically full of good humor.
Firearms are center fire revolver (single action only, or double action fired in single action mode), lever action rifles, and single or double barreled shotguns (or Winchester 1897 pump actions).
If you do not own a firearm of this kind, don’t worry. There will be plenty available. Just bring ammunition. Cast lead or soft point rifle ammunition (.30-30 Win is widely used) and 12 GA lead birdshot (no steel shot), please. Coastal Outdoors sometimes has cowboy action specific ammunition in stock.
Match fees are $10 (minimum, plus whatever donation you would like to make) and all proceeds will be donated to the St. John’s Rod & Gun Club per the wishes of the Mackey family.
The shoot is open to all members of the St. John’s Rod & Gun Club and their guests.
It is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, with a start time of 10 AM.
Good Day ,

Thanks everyone for making this a fun and exciting weekend.

Good Day Everyone,
Considering the Provincials is just around the corner on Sept. 26th & 27th the match scheduled for this weekend will be changed to a practice day with 2-3 stages set up. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the great forecasted weather and the opportunity to get a few practice runs in before the Provincials.
We will set up at 11:00am and plan to start the practice at 12:00pm. As this will be a non-sanctioned IPSC match , there will be no fees for Saturday’s practice day.
We hope to see you at the range!
Thanks , John
Good Day Folks ,
The new awards have arrived for this years Provincials and they look GREAT!… . BUT…. you won’t have a chance to win them unless you register for this years provincials which will be held on Sept. 26th & 27th .
Don’t delay ….Register today ! … just send an email to Membership@ipscnl.ca with your shirt size and send your EMT payment for $100.00 to the same email address and you will be registered , simple as that.
Also, as a reminder all paid registrations will be entered to win a STI Spartan 9mm Hand Gun .
Good Day ,
With the weather forecast now calling for heavier rain and wind then originally called for, we have decided to postpone the 2015 IPSC NL Provincials to Sept. 26th and 27th. If you have already paid your fee, no problem you are good to go for the new dates . If you have not paid your $100.00 registeration fee and were planning to pay on the day of the match, please try to send your payment via EMT to membership@ipscnl.ca as soon as possible. This will help speed things up on the 26th match day.
Also, instead of using the SJRG club house for the dinner after the match on Sunday, we will be holding the dinner and awards at Tiny’s Bar & Grill in CBS on the evening of the 27th . We will send out more details as we get closer to the match.
Finally , the Provincials this year will be 16 stages and 296 rounds, so for those of us who “hate” those little steel plates … bring all the ammo you can ..:)
If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me anytime at membership@ipscnl.ca
Thanks , John
