The Port Coquitlam District Hunting and Fishing club has a very active group who are involved in the International Practical Shooting Confederation or IPSC.
IPSC is a diverse competition in Pistols, Rifles and Shotguns through varied ‘stages’ designed to challenge the competitors in Speed, Accuracy and Power (through higher caliber pistols) with pistols being the prominent platform of choice here at PCDHFC.
IPSC takes static pistol shooting at the range to a whole new level. The courses of fire or “Stages” within IPSC are always different from stage to stage, match to match. They will have you navigating simple to complex stages while engaging steel or paper targets that are could be partially covered, swinging, right in front of you or 15-20 meters away! Some stages are only 12 rounds while others are as much as 32 rounds and while that may not sound like much, read the last sentence! It is a ton of fun and scales very well for brand new shooters yet offers the hardcore people all the competition they desire!
Club members attend many IPSC matches locally and traveling around BC and across Canada during the season, and yes, our Club hosts several matches here as well! Many clubs besides PCDHFC host and promote IPSC so be sure to check out the IPSCBC site calendar for all upcoming matches (find the link below)
