Competitions/matches IPSC - Rifle Discipline

Hello everyone,

I am looking to get into practical/competitive shooting but as you know recent bans made it impossible to get a handgun. Is the rifle discipline of IPSC active in Ontario?

Can I join the black badge program with a semi-auto? If not, is it possible to rent a handgun solely for IPSC shooting? Are there ranges/clubs that allow practical shooting with a rifle?

I am located in GTA and unfortunately couldn’t find a lot of information online. I can travel so doesn’t have to be in the GTA.

IPSC mini-rifle (22lr) is gaining popularity and there are matches happening. Some provinces are running mini-rifle black badge courses even.

IPSC Rifle was getting a tiny bit of traction before the 2024 bans, but I think is mostly dead now.

Yup, it’s unfortunate, I am starting to consider looking into options in Buffalo, it’s just a few hours drive.

I don't think NYS allows handgun rentals to foreign vistors.
