IPSC Mini Rifle
IPSC Mini rifle - Will Sapsa adopt this division?
Cheap ammo and possibly a more cost effective
way to get into 3 Gun.

Re: IPSC Mini Rifle
It is in the rule-book as a recognised division, so it must follow that they will surely? We apply by IPSC rules, unlike the Americans, who always have to do things differently :-D
Rules pertaining to "minimum participants" aside... If there is enough interest I don't see why not.

Re: IPSC Mini Rifle
Hi
As a club we are driving this! We have a few members who have the right rifles due to other sporting disciplines.....
I'm hoping SAPSA will accept it on their next meeting, and issue endorsements.
We had a club tournament and it was well supported watch this space!
plus one to Doubletap those are sound reasons for this division, and youngsters are easily trained about rifle handling.

Re: IPSC Mini Rifle
I'm also hoping. It does make sense. The cost of SLR's is a factor for alot of people wanting to enter the sport. Ammo even more so. There are a few of us at our club who don't mind sharing equipment, but with .223's cost of ammo is often to high for others to compete. This makes sense.

Re: IPSC Mini Rifle
I will be watching this space for sure ...
A nice little M4 in .22 would be pretty sweet, and something I can train the kids on as well.

Re: IPSC Mini Rifle
Necropost !!
What's happening? I paid for a semi auto .22 last week only to receive a mail today from SAPSA that the minimum rifle cal that they will endorse is .223 ???????
Wanted to use it for training for 3-gun and "mini rifle". Our club had a mini rifle shoot in April.
(AFAIK) SAPS policy on semi-auto rifles : no endorsement, no license. Looks like SAPSA screwed me.

Re: IPSC Mini Rifle
That's really weird since SAPSA have supposedly accepted Mini Rifle as an event and even have Mini Rifle shoots on their calendar. I have recently re-joined SAPSA and one of the reasons was specifically for Mini. I already have a rifle and am hoping my club will start shooting this event.
Sean.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.
