Want to Improve your Practical Shooting Scores?Learn to Go Prone for Long Shots
At a winter IPSC Training Course, DOC demonstrates what the prone lesson could lead to in your future. The target is at 25m, first shot at 2.50 sec and last shot approximately 5.0; 4 Alpha, 2 Charlie. Note that the gun is kept well away from the weak hand as the weak hand goes to the ground to cushion the drop as the shooter extends to the full prone position. For our friends in Eastern Canada, you will also notice that there is...wait for it...SNOW! Yes, occasionally, up in the mountains, we allow some snow to fall so our ski industry can thrive:) Don't Let the Course Design Cheat You of a Victory!

Jerry S. from BC:
The dust settled down and I have reviewed the IPSC Training Black Badge Course in Nanaimo... I have a long way to go but now I feel that I know where to start… (I guess :) The course was awesome, exceeded my expectation, I feel I have the ground to build on. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and knowledge, and for your patience.
Joe S. from BC:
I wanted to write you to provide some feedback on the recent Black Badge Course I took with you. The course was a great experience. With your instruction my skills improved markedly and I had a lot of fun. Wally from Ontario:Wow! Great web page. I am new to IPSC I found the info on your site a great read. I love the article on stage strategy. It helped me out at the Ontario Provincials a couple of days ago. I also love the spreadsheet for scoring my stages (major / minor). I never realized that there is so much to IPSC strategy. I have had my Black Badge for less than a month and have shot a Level II and a Level III. I really believe your article on stage strategy helped me out a lot at the Provincials. I just always assumed that if the targets were there I am supposed to shoot at them. |
