Keola5o4 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Anyone out there know how can I compete international tournaments "IPSC"? Plans to travel out country next year and always been on my bucket list. Can anyone give the run down on where to start?Like how to get a classified process, and how to travel with my pistols "preferably Australia"?

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'd start by selecting an upcoming event in Australia and contact them directly, on the web. Then, send them some quick questions. But, I bet before you do that, someone will come along on BE and tell you exactly how they do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keola5o4 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yeah !that's what I'm going for! I been doing research on ipsc.org , what concerns me the most the system on how to atleast get into a match and transport my pistols without problems.

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 You just sign up for the match, and ask the MD how to get your gun down there - they have been thru this before - and they're happy to explain it to you. Might even be able to send you the forms necessary .... Lots of USA matches help Canadians get thru customs, and vice versa - I'm sure the Australians would be happy to give you everything you need. Good luck in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keola5o4 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Sounds good! I very much appreciate your time for explaining this info to me, I will start looking to scheduling something around a vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austjoe Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 You will need a letter of investigation to a match then apply for an in port permit, we have lots of Level 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austjoe Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 You can on line, but each state has it own laws, Eastern states have I believe one permit,Weat Australia is on there own system and you will need to apply for it. You can do it all on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take to get a permit? I have the impression that Aussie laws might be tricky concerning borrowed guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 A few top level IPSC shooters from O/S have shot our last couple of nationals. I don't know the details of foreigners bringing in guns though and what the license requirements are but it can be done. Where do you want to visit?

I don't know the details of foreigners bringing in guns though and what the license requirements are but it can be done. Where do you want to visit?So far what I have research is if you have a firearms permit or evidence that the firearm is indeed yours before leaving the U.S "with filling out paperwork for the other country obviously " you can transport to some countries "or state to state within country" with proper paperwork and that deed for firearms ownership from what I'm hearing is almost like gold. I'm looking on going on vacation next year to Australia, both shooting a ipsc match and visiting that country been on my bucket list for sometime now so why not do both [emoji23].

dansedgli Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Anywhere in particular? If you are in Victoria around Easter time the Australian nationals are on. There are state titles held in February which will be a big also. Edited August 28, 2017 by dansedgli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austjoe Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 From the USA you will need a CBT 4457 from, and they to see the gun,but don't walk in with it frist, If you are using a borrowed gun, as long as the owner is with you, you should be ok. The CBT4457 are easy to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I ask is because I shoot 9 major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
