Well, it goes without saying that the weather last Saturday was spectacular for November. We had LOADS of food in a warm trailer and it was a great day for shooting!
No rain in the forecast, single digit temperatures BUT we are gonna be warm when we shoot! We have a 33′ Trailer coming to the Range. I’m bringing a 7500W generator to run some heaters and coffee pot. Monty (from Monty’s Restaurant) on the TCH in Whitbourne is going to be bringing soup and sandwiches and we will schedule some warm up breaks! The weather is calling for 8*C but it’s gonna be a fun shoot!
Bring out your lunch and some warm clothes. You’ll do just fine!
I have 4 stages done up and here’s what you’ll see at the range for our set up. I have some keen stages made out of this. Set up starts at 8:30am first shots at 10:00 am. Let’s get out and shoot, eat and have fun! $10 for the shoot as usual.
Hope to see you all at the Range. If I’m late for some reason – everything is still going ahead!
Hello folks,
I hope that everyone is doing well and isn’t too excited about the new gun toys that Santa might bring for Xmas!
We are having our last official match on Saturday and we’d love to see everyone out for it! I’ll have a bunch of small stages done up to keep everyone moving. Mother Nature has been kind to us all year, let’s hope she’s gonna work with us again this weekend.
Bring a snack because we plan on having lunch in a warm trailer with some coffee and tea hopefully.
Set up will start at 8:30am – first shots scheduled for 10:00am. Many hands makes light work! $10 to shoot as always.
Looking forward to seeing you on the Range!

Obviously we aren’t having a match this weekend – it’s Remembrance Day! Make sure that you take a moment to remember all of those people that gave, and some that continue to give, themselves to ensure that we have the freedoms that we get to enjoy on a daily basis.
Next weekend, Nov 18th, will be our last official match for 2017. I’m hoping that the weather cooperates with us so that we can get out and have one last match with lots of shooters and fun. Monty is going to bring his trailer again and we will plan to have some heaters going in there so we can enjoy lunch in the warmth. I’d love to have as many people as possible there as well because I’m going to be putting together the shooting schedule for next season and planning matches across the island, as well as the Provincials. Lots to discuss.
We will plan to start at 10:00am as normal. Set up will start at around 8:30 so the more hands the better. Regular match fee of $10.
Let’s see if we can get some more Black Badges awarded. Congrats to all of the new Black Badge Certified shooters this season! We look forward to seeing everyone at the range.
These shooting season is winding down BUT the weather is doing it’s best to let us get out for a few more matches. Right now we are going ahead with our match. Setup will start at 8:00am sharp on Saturday as we want to get shooting as early as possible. Help is always welcome so come on out to help set up. Many hands makes light work. Match fees are $10 as normal.
We still have a few Black Badges that need to be presented at the shooter’s first match – let’s get everyone certified!
We will have a trailer on the range to load and have our lunch in. If it’s cold we will just turn on our heaters and away to go. Great chance to discuss next season’s shooting schedule, Provincials, matches across the island and off-the-island matches. See you then.
IPSC has authorized the Regions to implement the trial of this new, exciting division called Production Optics. IPSC Canada has put together the following set of rules that we shall follow here in Canada. This is certainly an opportunity for our shooters to try something new, exciting and relatively inexpensive for us older folks. 🙂
See the attached Rule Set. IPSCNL shall follow these rules should anyone wish to shoot in the new Division of Production Optics (PO).
Our weather is really doing it’s best to ensure that we are able to get out and enjoy ourselves at the range. We have a Match planned for this Saturday. See the link below for the Stages that we are going to shoot.
The round count is 87 over 4 stages, so it’ll be nice and relaxing.
We look forward to seeing you at the St. john’s Rod & Gun Club for our next match. It’s $10 to shoot and we will start setup at 8:30am. C’Mon out and enjoy the weather.
It’s that simple!

Well folks, NTV News was pleased with covering our Provincial IPSC Competition and we were glad to work with them. Huge thanks to Amanda Mews for following up on this story.
I waited for the HD Version of the story from NTV but couldn’t get it – that’s too bad. Here is the link to the clip from Aug 22nd.
Please watch, enjoy AND SHARE, SHARE, SHARE ACROSS YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
We would really love to increase the amount of IPSC shooters here in NL. For more information about shooting IPSC click here and get info about the Black Badge Certification Course; or follow the Black Badge Course info from our IPSCNL Homepage.
Just a reminder that we will be having a match on Saturday. I’m hoping to have 6 stages, we’ll see! Either way, we will be there for 8:30am to start setting up. First shot at 10:00am.
Regular cost of $10 and if you have 120-130 rounds you will be safe.
