IPSC ALBERTA
Choosing Your Equipment 

Disclaimer - The following is for reference only. It is based on my opinion and is simply that my OPINION. As with any sport you can start out as basic as you like or start out near the top when it comes to equipment. No matter what equipment you buy there will always be differing opinions about it. What I'm offering here is a look into what I use, what most people use, and my opinions behind it. In the end your choice is your choice, I can only hope that this information helps you make an educated decision as to starting equipment for IPSC. 


Shooting Equipment / Gear for IPSC is like buying a car. Lots of options and personal likes & dislikes. This is just a starting point for you the new shooter. 
Before you run out and buy a gun and equipment, you need to figure out where you would like to start out in IPSC. Follow this through and by time your done you will have a good idea what you would like to buy. 
I can't give you exact costs but where possible I can give you a ballpark figure to work with. 
I'll try to show you "High End" and "Low End" products you can use to get started. There is nothing wrong starting out on the low end and working your way up. That's how I started but then again I didn't have this page to help me out.
