**julian** · 18-01-2018, 15:03

Is there any SADPA/IDPA clubs close to PE, my daughter is moving there this weekend to study, for the next 4-5 years. Trying to find a way for her too keep up her points for her dedicated status.

Not to my knowledge is there any IDPA clubs, but PERPC has very nice and well organized IPSC.

julian..We are pretty much IPSC country down here.

The PERPC [port elizabeth rifle and pistol club] has 12 league shoots a year as well as 5 or so steel shoots.We also do about 5 fun shoots such as big bore,hunting handgun ect. Then we also have our rifle and shotgun shoots.

There are also 2 hunting associations which organise various shoots as well as 2 clay pigeon clubs.

This is just to mention a few.

I am fairly heavily involved in most of the shooting disiplines.

If i can be of any help to you or your daughter please feel free to PM me and i will give you my number.We could also get together this weekend if you are coming down.[just not saturday afternoon as i am shooting a steel challenge]

Closest IDPA club is in George, too far away.

We have some top ranking IPSC shooters, and if I recall at least 6 people who have had national colors at some stage or another. These guys also put in some effort re training any willing members in various of the finer aspects of the game.

Port Elizabeth rifle and Pistol Club is on fbook too.

I will try and get here to come and have look when there is an IPSC shoot on, she always wanted to give it a try. Only leaving here on Sunday arriving on Monday with her, spending the week sorting her flat in summerstrand and university registrations. I will talk to her when she is settled in, thanks for the offer to help pre 64 will contact you when she is ready.

For her participation to count towards DS, I think she will need to join SAPSA and the club/province. The shoots presented are IPSC oriented by the looks of it. Unless SADPA will accept and award points for participation in non-SADPA events towards DS status.Maybe consider NHSA as an option to maintain DS status as well.
