Buy recommendations Handgun Competitions.

I am located in Calgary, Alberta and want to join a handgun competition however I am uncertain about the requirements around it. My range is located in Rocky Mountain House and has pistol ranges I use often.

Am I required to be IPSC certified for all of the competitions? If so what if my range doesn’t offer this course. Where can I do it.

Ultimately I’d love some advice or even pay for some information as to how one goes about joining a league and shooting competitively.

Thanks ahead of time!

You need the black badge, most range will ask you for it to be able to carry in a holster anyway.
To run an IPSC match you need it as well. TBH, without the course you would probably get Disqualified (DQ) by doing something not permitted in your first match.
