We have scheduled a New Shooters Course for October 13th at the Firing Line in Winnipeg.

To register for the course email rob@mdpl.ca

Course details:

The MDPL requires all shooters to have some form of holster training. This course, an IPSC Black Badge, PPC accreditation or active military/LEO credentials are also accepted. If you’re at all interested in IPSC you might instead want to take the Black Badge course.

On Saturday morning we’ll review safety and essential rules. After a break for lunch we’ll spend about 4 hours on the range doing drills and practicing skills. If we have time I will set up some small stages and we’ll shoot a mini-match.

Please send me an email to confirm your attendance or if you wish to be removed from this list.
