The "Extreme" in Extreme Pistol
Extreme Pistol, or IPSC, is the sport governed by the International Practical Shooting Confederation. Extreme Pistol is a tactical shooting sport that challenges shooters to balance Accuracy, Power, and Speed.
PCDHFC is the home of the founder of IPSC in Canada as well as some of its most accomplished athletes, coaches and officials. The IPSC club at Burke Mountain is made up of energetic shooters from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Club members travel around BC and across Canada to compete during the shooting season. The PCDHFC IPSC club also hosts several matches per year, and enjoys competing with the other active IPSC clubs in the area.
Practices are 7 PM to 8:30 PM most Monday and Thursday evenings from April through October.

Hey! Want to Become a Match Director?
Some of you may want to be more involved in 2008 and that would be great. There is a lot we can do next year as the nationals are NOT here so we can focus on club shoots. Minimal set up and grief plus the chance to play with more ideas.
If you would like to learn how to put on a match, we have a good crew who will support your efforts and make the match a success. You know how to contact me by phone, 604.889.3822. Time to step up!
The Extreme Pistol (IPSC) section has booked each 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from March-Oct 2008 for matches. Once IPSC BC settles their dates for qualifiers in the Lower Mainland, we will then finalize club match dates. You can pick from those left over dates to host your own IPSC match. :)
PCDHFC will run some qualifiers as well as lots of club matches. The IPSC Training Course will continue at PCDHFC and be noted on the club calendar as well as my personal page http://www.mdgardner.com/extreme-pistol.htm.
Practices will start again Mon. March 31.2008, from 7-9pm. I usually take Monday nights and we need others to step up for Thursdays or Mondays. When there is a match on the Sunday preceeding the Monday or a long weekend, practice is cancelled. I also won't be able to take the June 9 session. If you would like to take charge for some of these sessions, contact me.
The last practice would be Thurs Oct 9.2008.
If you have any brilliant ideas for the coming year, share them with me and let's make them work.
Best regards to all and thanks again for your support and efforts on behalf of our club.
