Unfortunately due to the poor weather forecast this event is postponed to a later date. 

=====================


IDPANL is pleased to announce an Introduction to IDPA event, scheduled for Sunday, 2 June. Join us anytime from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to learn about action shooting and to try this exciting and dynamic sport.

IDPA is a handgun-centric shooting sport where courses of fire (or stages) are a mix of drills (standards) meant to improve and challenge your handgun skills as well as simulated self-defense scenarios. It was designed to be enjoyable to shooters of all skill levels, emphasizing social interaction and camaraderie rather than competition equipment or gamesmanship. If you’re bored of shooting bullseyes at static paper targets, or want to try shooting on the move, or to improve or expand your handgun skills, or you want to combine shooting with creative scenarios, then this is the sport for you.

Handgun shooting is of course the primary focus of the sport, but our club also regularly hosts events that include shotguns, pistol caliber carbines, and rifle caliber carbines. Even, on occasion, military surplus firearms and the guns of the Old West. Reactive steel targets, moving targets, disappearing targets, we have it all.

The agenda of the day will include a review of safety principles, some of the more important rules, scoring, and live fire stages.

First time and seasoned shooters are welcome! No previous experience is necessary and all equipment will be available on site. You will need to supply your own ammunition, the most popular choices being 9x19mm, .40S&W and .45ACP. 100 rounds will suffice if you intend to try all of the available courses of fire.

If you want to bring your own centerfire pistol and gear, that’s okay too, but please leave it in your vehicle until directed by a Safety Officer. All live fire shooting will be conducted under the immediate supervision of one or more qualified Safety Officers.

There is no fee, but advance registration is encouraged, so that we can have a fair idea of how many people are attending. Please send an e-mail to ‘idpainnl@gmail.com’ to indicate your interest.

The 2024 trapshooting season at the St. John's Rod and Gun Club kicks off on Sunday, April 21 with the Dianne Wood Memorial Shoot.

Dianne lived in London, Ontario and sadly lost her battle with cancer on December 23, 2023. Along with husband Jim, they attended many Atlantic Provinces Trapshooting Championships. We always looked forward to welcoming Dianne, husband Jim, and the many other out of province shooters that Dianne no doubt had some part in convincing to attend our shoot. 

Please join us as we remember a wonderful person and dear friend.

Organized trapshoots will take place on Sundays from 12 noon to 4 PM.
