  **Please note: until you have submitted payment for the course, your slot is not reserved. Payment is required to hold your slot.**
  

  
  

  IMPORTANT: New this year, there are a few points that you must note prior to registration.
  

  • Due to insurance & liability, IPSC now requires you to purchase your IPSC Alberta membership PRIOR to taking the Black Badge course, instead of afterwards. You are required to purchase an Associate membership on their site (instructions below) before you are eligible to attend the course.
  • Black Badge courses now have a maximum capacity of (10) students per course. Make sure you register early to guarantee your spot!
  • IPSC Members that have not competed at a sanctioned match within the last (12) months need to be re-certified to become recognized (re-cert at the Black Badge course). Members that have not shot at a match within the last (3) years need to retake the full Black Badge course.

  Course Information
  The Black Badge is a two day in-depth training course in the safe competitive shooting techniques required not only to compete at IPSC events, but to deliver the confidence and expertise to use handguns in the safest possible manner. The course will be taught by IPSC Grand Master Konstantin Zaitsev.

  It is a mandatory course required to shoot IPSC matches in Canada. IPSC is a dynamic shooting sport where the principles of Accuracy, Speed, and Power are balanced in a unique scoring system. It requires competitors to shoot fast and accurately, often shooting on the move and developing techniques and styles to shave off fractions of a second between shots, during reloads and drawing from the holster.

  Purchasing Your IPSC Alberta Membership

  New this year, anyone wishing to take the Black Badge course must first purchase an Associate membership with IPSC Alberta. This is for insurance and liability reasons, as the courses are sanctioned by IPSC Alberta. Once you have taken the course and shot your first match, your membership will be upgraded to a regular membership automatically.
  
  

  Note: You can register for the course on our website FIRST, and then you can purchase your IPSC membership afterwards (that way you'll reserve your spot on the course).

  To purchase your IPSC membership:

  • Visit the IPSC Alberta website at www.ipscalberta.com.
  • Click "Join" in the menu bar.
  • Scroll down and choose your membership level (either "individual - Associate" or "Junior - Associate" depending on age).
  • Click "next" at the bottom of the page, and follow the directions.
  • Payment must be made by credit card through the website (they use the same website platform as KGAC).

  Course Payment Options
  

  • Credit Card (through the "Register" button on this page).
  • e-Transfer (send to "payments@kgac.ca" - when registering through the website, choose "Invoice Me" rather than "Pay Online").
  • Cash or Cheque (payable to KGAC).
    

  Duration (must attend both days):

  • Saturday: 27 APR 2024 - KGAC Lease, 0800L - 1800L. Open book exam.
  • Sunday: 28 APR 2024 - KGAC Lease, 0800L - 1800L.

  What to bring:
  

  • Lunch, Snacks and Water on Saturday and Sunday.
  • Equipment:
  • • 9mm or larger caliber handgun (usually 9mm Para, .357 Sig, 38 Super, .40 S&W, 45 ACP, etcetera).
    • 5 to 6 magazines to fit the caliber and model of handgun.
    • Belt to accommodate the holster and spare magazine pouches.
    • Holster that is worn on the belt, no drop leg holsters allowed (Serpa style holsters are prohibited).
    • Minimum 4 spare magazine pouches (5-6 is better), preferably open topped (no snaps) to carry the spare magazines.
    • 600 rounds ammunition (minimum) to get through both days of shooting
    • Eye and ear protection.
    • Good boots or track shoes for uneven terrain and/or wet conditions.
    • Hat to keep off sun and block spent brass from hitting you in the eye.
    • Water or other non-alcoholic beverages to last the day.
    • Lunch as we take lunch at the range so we can continue with the course.
    • Sunscreen.
    • Bug repellent.
    • Chair (to sit down between exercises, optional).

  Course Information
  Project Mapleseed is an apolitical rifle marksmanship training program that focuses on teaching traditional rifle marksmanship from standing, sitting/kneeling, and prone positions in a one day shooting clinic termed a "Mapleseed".  It is a non-profit, all volunteer run organization committed to helping Canadians develop fundamental marksmanship skills, and in the safe handling of firearms.
  
  Project Mapleseed is open to shooters of all ages. The minimum you need is a rimfire rifle, 400 rounds of ammunition and a teachable attitude. Mapleseed is open to all sight types including scopes. The .22LR semi-automatic, magazine-fed rifles are the most commonly seen for their ease of use during the mandatory magazine changes and low ammo cost.  Bring what you have; the shooting fundamentals taught apply to the shooter, not their rifle. The goal is to learn and have fun.
  

  Duration:

  • Saturday: 08 JUN 2024 - KGAC Lease, 0800L - 1700L.

  Fees:    Adults - $125.00
               Military, Police, Fire, EMS - $100.00
               Youth (Under 18) - $25.00
  
  Visitors / Guests are welcome, and subject to the additional visitor fees below:
                Adults - $25.00

  **Please Note: Minor participants must be accompanied by their parent/guardian for the duration of the event. The parent/guardian, however, does not need to register/pay unless they are also shooting.
  
  Payment Options
  Registration and payment are handled by Mapleseed directly.
  Once you have registered and paid, please send an email to EventsCoordinator@kgac.ca so we can track the number of participants.

  A Mapleseed event is designed to provide structured and safe rifle fundamentals to hunters and shooters of all ages and provides a solid framework of basic rifleman skills that benefits new and experienced shooters alike. For the new shooter we can teach you to use your rifle safely and also be able to hit your target. For the seasoned shooter we can teach you to shoot more accurately - even out to 500 yards.

  The ultimate goal of a "Mapleseed" is to teach students to maintain a 4 minutes of angle (MOA) precision and accuracy,  This translates into being able to put all shots into a 20 inch target at 500 yards. Qualification targets are shot to evaluate progress and for score. The goal is to score 210 points or better on a 40-shot course that has 250 possible points.  This earns the coveted Rifleman’s Patch and is roughly equivalent to scoring Marksman (85%) as member of the infantry in the Canadian Armed Forces.

  **Please note: until you have submitted payment for the course, your slot is not reserved. Payment is required to hold your slot.**
  

  Course Date / Time:

  • Sunday: 23 JUN 2024 - Exshaw Legion & KGAC Lease, 0700L - 1700L.

  Cost:
  

  • $175 (including certificate, IFAK, and a full day of life saving training).

  Itinerary:
  

  • 0700L - At the Exshaw Legion.
  • 1200L - Move to the KGAC Lease.
  • 1700L - Certificates, hand out Individual First Aid Kits and dismissal.

  Payment Options:
  

  • Credit Card (through the "Register" button on this page).
  • e-Transfer (send to "payments@kgac.ca" - when registering through the website, choose "Invoice Me" rather than "Pay Online").

  Equipment Requirements:

  • Pen & paper for notes.
  • Water & food for the day.
  • Eye protection (for scenario training).
  • Clothing for the weather - we will be treating simulated injures; ensure it is clothing you don’t mind getting dirty, wet, or stained.
  • A positive attitude and curious mind.

  Have you ever wondered what you would do if you or someone you care about suffered a life-threatening hemorrhage? Have you been trained how to use a tourniquet or how to pack a wound?
  
  Minutes count! Someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 5 minutes. That’s why bleeding control—keeping the blood inside the body—is the purpose of STOP THE BLEED ® training.

  
  The course will begin at the Exshaw Legion where we will cover theory and practice skills for the morning. We will travel to the Lease around noon which will also serve as our lunch break, so please bring food and water. At the Lease we will engage in scenario-based training where you will get the opportunity to practice the skills you will learn in the morning.
  
  The afternoon is outdoors, so dress for the weather; rain, or shine!

  **Please note: until you have submitted payment for the course, your slot is not reserved. Payment is required to hold your slot.**
  

  Registration:

  • After the registration deadline, all registered (and paid) participants will receive course instructions from the Training Coordinator by email.
    

  Course Date / Time:

  • Saturday: 19 OCT 2024 - KGAC Lease, 0830L - 1800L.
    

  Payment Options:
  

  • Credit Card (through the "Register" button on this page).
  • e-Transfer (send to "payments@kgac.ca" - when registering through the website, choose "Invoice Me" rather than "Pay Online").

  Equipment Requirements:

  • 1x Handgun (no rimfire).
  • Semi automatic handguns with a magazine disconnect safety are not permitted (e.g. Browning Hi Power).
  • 1x Hip holster or drop-leg holster designed for your handgun. Once received, READ the syllabus re: holster types and safety requirements (e.g. BLACKHAWK! Serpa holsters are not permitted).
  • 2x Magazine pouches, 3 is better.
  • A sturdy belt.
    
  • Minimum 3x magazines for pistols, or speed loaders for revolvers.
  • 10x Snap Caps for your handgun, no "Dummy Ammunition" (de-activated munitions will not be allowed).
  • 300 rounds of ammunition.
  • When borrowing a restricted gun, have the lender bring/pick-up gun to/from the Lease, that way you are in compliance with ATT requirements.
  • When borrowing any gun - ensure that the gun is understood by the operator - there is no time for familiarization on the course! Operate the gun and conduct live fire prior to the course.
  • More equipment specifics will follow with the joining instructions.

  (FYI: this course is a pass/fail course with various performance objectives related to safe draw, draw & fire, firing with movement, and an overall knowledge test – based on your home study package and material covered in the classroom – hence: simple participation does not equal automatic qualification).

  The Kananaskis Gun & Archery Club has developed its own recognized holster course for the specific needs of the Lease requirements, and to meet the KGAC Range Safety Rules & Regulations. Anyone wanting to participate in Dynamic shooting at the Club requires a holster certification.

  Successful candidates will be able to:
  

  • Holster their gun throughout the Lease;
  • Have an understanding in how to safely draw a gun from a holster – engage a target – and to re-holster the gun;
  • Have a sound knowledge of the Range Commands used at/on the Lease (The Club uses internationally recognized Range Commands);
  • Participate in the Dynamic Handgun & Dynamic Rifle Leagues (following a dynamic shooting workshop);

  Upon completion of the course, successful candidates will receive a Holster Certificate and Holster endorsement membership badge.
  
  As voted by the membership at the June 2021 meeting, all RSO's as of 2025 onward must be Holster qualified. There are only (2) opportunities left for grandfathered RSO's who are NOT YET holster qualified, to receive the necessary training and qualification to continue being RSO's (and entitled to a Lease Key). These are the 2024 Holster Courses.
  

  
  Minor Holster qualified persons:
  Minors are welcome, and encouraged to participate in this training course (they do not require an RPAL to take the course). Minors will be granted full Holster qualification recognition upon completion of the course.
  
  Automatic Holster qualifications are granted to:
  Law Enforcement, Canadian Armed Forces (CBT arms trades only), Carry Permit qualified (ATC), and/or IPSC (Black Badge). These personnel will be automatically granted a Holster qualification upon providing proof to the Club of holding such a qualification, or being a member of the above mentioned organizations.

  • e-Transfer (send to "payments@kgac.ca" - when registering through the website, choose "Invoice Me" rather than "Pay Online").

  Course Prerequisites:

  • Holster qualification: To participate in the RSO course the registrant must possess, on the date of the RSO course, a valid KGAC Holster qualification. This is achievable by either: taking the KGAC Holster course, taking a Black Badge course, or is grandfathered for law enforcement and military combat arms trades.

  Equipment Requirements:

  • Your entire home study package (the Training Coordinator will email you all pertinent documents) - print them out
  • Pen/pencil & note pad
  • All Forms must be filled out at home – there will be no time for it on the course
  • Lease Key Form with a photocopy of your PAL (both sides)

  • 1x Rifle, 1x Shotgun, 1x Handgun, and for each firearm 50 rds of ammunition
  • Semi-automatic handguns with a magazine disconnect safety will not be allowed
  • Caliber doesn’t matter
  • When borrowing a restricted gun, have the lender bring/pick-up gun to/from the Lease, that way you are in compliance with ATT requirements. When borrowing any gun - ensure that the gun is understood by the operator - there is no time for familiarization on the course! Operate the gun and conduct live fire prior to the course
  • 10x Paper/Cardboard target (purchased or home-made)
  • Have a toboggan/wheel car/garden trolley/stroller and folding chair to move all your equipment around the Lease
  • Candidates will not be going back and forth from your vehicle - you will carry all of your equipment for the day - time is of the essence
  • Bring your own Range Box (staple gun, targets, tape, cleaning rod, bore lite, etc.)
  • Headlamp/flashlight
  • 2x Garbage bags (pack out your own waste)
  • Lunch & beverages (working lunch)
  • 1.5 L of water for your consumption

  (FYI: this course is a pass/fail course with tests on command of live firing lines, and an overall knowledge test – based on your home study package and material covered in the classroom – hence: simple participation does not equal automatic qualification).

  The Kananaskis Gun & Archery Club has developed its own recognized RSO course program for the specific needs of the Lease requirements, and to meet, enforce, comply with and adhere to the conditions set by the Landlords (Government of Alberta & Town of Canmore), as well as the KGAC Consolidated Range Safety & Operation Rules. KGAC highly recommends that all members attain this certification.

  • Be able to manage the overall day use of the Lease;
  • Be capable of commanding live firing lines at all ranges of the Lease;
  • Have a sound knowledge of the Range Commands used at/on the Lease (The Club uses internationally recognized Range Commands [NATO/IPSC/IDPA/Law Enforcement]);
  • Have a knowledge of Range Templates in general, and a specific knowledge of Templates at our Lease;
  • Have a good thorough understanding of the SOR/98-212 (the document that governs Gun Ranges/Gun Clubs) under the Firearms Act of Canada;
  • Be able to act as a DRSO on scheduled days;
  • Access the Lease at their leasure anytime during operating hours;

  Minors are welcome, and encouraged to participate in this training course (they do not require an RPAL to take the course). Minors will be granted a Minor RSO Certificate, and gain full RSO recognition upon their 18th birthday (when they receive their RPAL).
