That's one of the reasons I never got involved with airsoft IPSC in Toronto because only one place has it and once a month. Getting a TM and upgrading for competition doesn't really make sense for the level of activity in Toronto. I have seen a lot of the videos of the matches that are held in Asia like HK, and other countries and that is exciting. Airsoft IPSC has been around for awhile now but are there plans of growing it?

The other thing is, I have a black badge for real steel IPSC and considering you are handling a real pistol the qualifying is important for safety and the ability for a shooter to be safe during live fire around others.

Why does airsoft IPSC requires qualification when you are engaging paper targets with a airsoft pistol, but yet a person can engage shooting other people with AEGs or GBBRs and pistols in simulation games without qualification? Should it not be the opposite?

Maybe if you get rid of the qualification part of it, more people may get involved.

Consider, 99.99% airsofters in Canada do not own a racegun, but instead but do own AEG/GBBR and pistol, you may want to add this type of tactical competition to your roster so those that don't care for IPSC will certainly compete in a league competition with AEG/GBBR and their pistols.
