IPSC shooting is dynamic and challenging, and one of the fastest growing shooting sports in the world today. Courses of fire utilize many aspects not found in the other more traditional shooting disciplines, such as movement by the shooter, drawing from the holster, moving targets, multiple targets, and the freedom for the shooter to solve the shooting problems presented by the stage design. IPSC is participated in by thousands of shooters around the world, and BC has one of the largest sections in Canada.

There are continually new demands to challenge the IPSC shooting enthusiast.
