Monthly Report from Antonia
May Monthly Report for Range 3
Hi all,
It’s been a busy first month as section head, with many changes being made.
The most major change has been to stop alternating between shooting either IPSC or Speed Challenge, and instead shooting both each weekly shoot.
Another change is the planned beginning of monthly IPSC Competitions on the last Sunday of each month, much like the monthly Cowboy Action Competitions. This will start next month on 30/06/19 at 10:30am. There will be three courses which competitors will run through only once. I’d recommend shooters interested in partaking to attend some regular IPSC shoots for practise and refresh themselves on IPSC rules, as these competition shoots are aiming to mimic Interclub IPSC shoots.
Plans for courses of fire will be sent out in advance for the monthly IPSC Competition to help provide a little more insight and organisation. Please contact me with any ideas or requests for what you would like to shoot and I will incorporate it.
Targets for Speed Challenge that are the correct sizes and heights are in the pipeline. Turns out our old targets have been half the correct height all along! Thanks to Rod for getting his mate with a laser cutter involved.
As for future changes to Range 3, the following ideas have been put forward and will be worked on in the following months:
Also remember to get in your registrations for the Invercargill Shiver and Shoot!

As for future changes to Range 3, the following ideas have been put forward and will be worked on in the following months:
- Putting astroturf or another more consistent surface down over more area of the range and levelling areas not covered to reduce tripping hazards
- Fixing the brass catcher used for the Speed Challenge shoots and the duelling tree
- Creating moving targets
- Creating more mesh barricades and fixing the existing broken barricade
- Obtaining a measuring tape wheel to be available to the whole club
- Holding an Action Range Officer Level 1 Training Course for all those interested
Also remember to get in your registrations for the Invercargill Shiver and Shoot!

What is IPSC
from Section Director Pistol New Zealand Wally Cole
IPSC, The International Practical Shooting Confederation, was formed in 1976, and now embraces 90 Regions. Competition includes National and Continental Championships with the pinnacle of IPSC competition being the tri annual World Shoot.
Practical shooting is a dynamic sport that awards competitors equally for accuracy, power and speed, and which is represented by the Latin phrase "Diligentia, Vis Celeritas" or DVC.
Scores are expressed in terms of Hit Factor, which is the number of points scored per second. The highest hit factor takes all the stage points and other competitors are rewarded proportionally.
Diversity is the cornerstone of our matches, we never shoot the same courses, and so the challenge always changes. The IPSC shooter is a "jack of all trades", capable of pinpoint accuracy and blazing speed.
Our primary principal is safety and thanks to excellent training, discipline and the outstanding efforts of course designers and dedicated Range Officers, we have an enviable and exemplary safety record.
IPSC shooting encompasses rifle, shotgun and pistol shooting and competition is divided into Divisions. For example we have an Open Division, for optically sighted guns, Standard for metallic sights, a Revolver Division and Production for service type pistols like Glocks and Sigs. Competition also recognizes the categories, Junior, Lady, Senior, and Super Senior so IPSC is a game for all ages and genders.
