Canadian Competitions ?
Hey, just wondering if there are any Canadians here and if they might happen to know anything about regional/provincial competions. Specifically in Atlantic Canada, or Manitoba.
I'd be considered an absolute amature at the moment, I've never competed, don't belong to any clubs (as I can't find any in my area..so far) and I'm just trying to get some information as to what is out there that someone like me could get involved in. |

It depends on what disciplines you're interested in; I know IPSC has a reasonably strong showing in the East, and they had the Nationals in New Brunswick a few years ago (it normally cycles east to west and back again). Canadiangunnutz can probably give you some leads on the different competitions being run.

I actually need to do a lot of reading I think, just to know what kind of competitions I'm interested in.
22lr matches aren't for me, (That would mean spending "big gun money" to buy a new small gun) lol And overbuilt 30lb+ rifles, costing tens of thousands of dollars aren't interesting to me either. But anything inbetween with factory deer/varmint/target rifles or similarly modded or custom built rigs would be to my interest....at any distance....scope or sight.....prone or from a bench. |

"...any Canadians here..." We're everywhere. Including inside the U.S. government.
"...can't find any in my area..." Where are you? "...regional/provincial competitions..." Shooting what? There's something for everybody. "...Specifically in Atlantic Canada, or Manitoba..." Long way apart. Atlantic Canada is a big place. The DCRA is one governing body through Provincial Rifle Associations. IPSC Canada is another. http://www.dcra.ca/welcome.htm http://www.ipsc-canada.org/ http://www.idpacanada.com/ "...Canadiangunnutz..." Definitely join us. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/
