Two new guns made their debut at the match today. M.S. ran his new (and little!) Glock 48, and E.K. was running a rather unique Sudanese P226 chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev.
Thanks to everyone for their help with running the match. Things ran very smoothly because you kept busy either setting up, tearing down, patching and resetting. And this allowed us to finish up early in the afternoon. Thanks!
The next regular scheduled club match is set for Sunday, 29 September 2019.
Beauty day for shooting!
Conditions were perfect for the club match held today, 18 August 2019.
The Zombie Apocalypse
multi-gun shoot last weekend claimed quite a few victims, which understandably
made it impossible for several members to attend this match. Still, sufficient
numbers showed up to make it an enjoyable and challenging experience.
There were a total of six
stages, including three standards and three scenario stages, as follows:
Stage 1 – Goodbye Old Friend (a
12 round standards stage, a version of the old IDPA classifier)

I believe this was the first
club match where we have run a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) division competitor, and it certainly adds flavour to the match.
Thanks to the folks who were
able to attend, and for helping set up and tear down the stages.
The next regular scheduled
club match is set for Sunday, 8 September 2019.
The eighth annual IDPANL Zombie
Apocalypse Multi-Gun Shoot was held on Saturday,
10 August 2019.
The weather was once again excellent – it was hot! – and a
total of 28 shooters attended, including participants from other provincial gun
clubs such as the Discovery Shooting Club in Elliston and the Northwest Arm Rod
& Gun Club in Winterland. Many thanks to those guys for showing their
repeated interest in our event!
There were four stages or courses of fire which included a
variety of target types (paper, steel and frangible) and varying presentations
(disappearing, pop-up, etc.) that were required to be engaged by a mix of firearms
– including handgun, shotgun, and rifle.
The four stages, developed around a theme of popular zombie movies, were:
Stage 1 – The Winchester Plan (a 21 round shotgun and pistol
stage)
Stage 2 – Don’t Be a Hero (an 18 round pistol stage)
Stage 4 – Corpus Separatum (a 51 round rifle, shotgun and
pistol stage)
Full results follow (with points down and penalties in
square brackets; lower is better):

In keeping with the spirit of IDPA, prizes were drawn on a
random basis and awarded so that all participants had an equal chance of
walking away with a prize. These prizes included complimentary one year memberships
for the St. John’s Rod & Gun
Club (SJRGC) and for IDPANL; raffle tickets for a Stag 10 rifle package, from
the Labrador Trap & Skeet Club, and a large variety of small prizes.
Congrats to the winners!
The match ran very well, thanks to the core group of
volunteers who helped to set up on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, and
more importantly, to act as staff for the event. Many thanks to all of the
folks who played a role – no matter how small – in helping to make it a
successful and enjoyable event, whether it was in preparing lunch, helping set
up or tear down the stages, or just doing your part to patch targets and re-set
steel and props.
A special thanks to the hard working safety officers and
scorekeepers who went above and beyond – including having to run the entire
course many times over – to ensure that those in attendance were able to
complete it in an efficient, safe and enjoyable manner.
Thank you for attending and we hope you enjoyed it. We
continue to have regularly scheduled IDPA matches and side events like this one
throughout the year and we encourage potential new members to come out and try
the sport.
Yesterday evening we held another mini match for the SJRGC juniors. It was a great evening and weather conditions were perfect. The lads had a great time! We managed to get three stages completed :
Stage 1 Heat…a rifle based scenario.
Stage 2 Stabilizer…a standards pistol stage.
Stage 3 Stabilizer…shot again with strong hand only.
The results are as follows.

Great shooting, guys!
Thanks to G.C. and the juniors for the help with the setup and tear down. Thanks to A.A. for bringing the lads out to the club and all the work that you do for the juniors.
Scheduled for Saturday, August 10, 2019 and organized by IDPANL, this is our eighth annual “multi-gun” shoot, where you will use close quarters battle (CQB) rifles, shotguns, handguns, and even “melee” weapons to engage “zombie” targets over a series of timed stages. Though this event has a competitive element, the emphasis is on having fun with firearms, so recreational and casual shooters will be the norm rather than the exception.
1. What is this event all
about?
This is a “multi-gun” shoot,
where you will use rifles, shotguns, handguns, and even “melee” weapons to
engage “zombie” targets over a series of stages. Four stages are being planned
this year, in ‘3 gun’ style. This means that you will use the three different
types of firearms (and the melee weapons) over the course of the match, and
sometimes all of them in a single stage. Participants will be organized into squads
and then two classes: (1) Experienced and (2) Novice (primarily to differentiate
between holster certified and non-holster certified shooters).
2. What firearms do I need to
bring?
Handguns may be semi-automatic or
revolver. Shotguns can be 12 or 20 gauge. The Close Quarters Battle (CQB)
rifle will be used to engage targets at ranges between 20 and 100 yards.
Calibers are restricted to centerfire only. Any “melee” weapons will be
provided.
3. What if I don’t own one or
more of these firearms?
Even if you don’t happen to own one or more of the firearms being used in this shoot, it should not keep you from participating. There will be participants at the shoot who will be more than happy to permit you to use their firearm(s), providing that you bring your own non-corrosive factory ammunition. 223/5.56×45 or 7.62×39 (preferably soft point) tends to be most popular among rifles, 12 gauge among shotguns, and 9x19mm among handguns.
4. What will I be shooting at?
We will be providing paper,
frangible, and steel “zombie” targets. Some of these targets will be engaged while
“on the move”.
5. How far will I be shooting?
Shotgun: Up to 25 yards.
CQB
Rifle: Up to 100 yards.
Handgun: Up to 20 yards.
6. How much will I shoot?
There will be a total of four (4) stages. Estimated minimum ammo counts are currently 60 pistol, 20 shotgun, and 25 rifle. You should bring at least 1.5x this amount.
7. What if I don’t have a
“holster course”?
Only participants trained in the
safe use of a holstered handgun may participate in any handgun stage that
requires the use of a holster or movement. Acceptable credentials are laid out
in the match rules. Even if you do not have holster certification, however, the
stages will be modified so that you can still participate.
8. Who will I be shooting
with?
Participants will be organized
into groups of around a half dozen shooters called ‘squads’. Each squad will be
accompanied by a Safety Officer (SO) and a Scorekeeper. These will be
experienced IDPA members, and your squad will have at least one other
experienced IDPA member to help answer any questions that you may have. If you
have a companion that you want to shoot alongside (or with whom you are sharing
equipment), please tell us at the time of registration.
9. What else will I need?
You will need: appropriate ear
and eye protection. Shooting bag, gear, and extra magazines. Water will be
provided. A BBQ style lunch may be offered, in which case it will be provided
at no additional cost. This will be confirmed prior to the event.
10. Are there prizes?
Just getting some useful experience
in surviving a zombie apocalypse has got to be worth something. So, for the
most part, and in accordance with the spirit of IDPA, this is about bragging
rights only. Last man standing and all that. Prizes will be awarded by random
draw, so every participant has an equal chance of walking away with something.
11. What is the timeline?
Check in at the club house is
scheduled for 9 AM
sharp. A safety briefing will follow, with first shot due to take place at 9:45 AM. Please
be there on time and ready to go, because any delays will adversely affect
everyone and this event typically takes a full day. Anyone showing up after
first shot will not be able to participate in the match.
12. What if the weather is
poor on the day of the match?
If there is seriously inclement weather on August 10, such as heavy rain, we will hold the match on the following day, that is, Sunday, August 11.
13. What is the cost, and how
do I sign up?
The entry fee is $30.00 per
person, payable by EMT or cash. As the shoot
is limited to a total of about 30 participants, it will be by pre-registration.
Priority will be given to IDPANL members firstly, and then to those who
register and pay in advance. Any refunds will have the applicable EMT
fees deducted, and there will be no refunds offered after August 2, unless the
shoot does not go ahead. Send an e-mail to idpainnl@gmail.com to register, and
you will receive further information (about the rules, making an EMT
payment, etc.).
