rowdyb Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I have a friend who will be in Japan for years. As such he wants to continue shooting matches and realizes in Japan it will be IPSC air. But he says he has no idea how to search for matches and or clubs there. Any help from the knowledgeable people here with international experience? He has uspsa rig there, just would need the airsoft stuff to go in it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I can’t find a website for IPSC Japan, only an email address: jpn@ipsc.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Yeah, the fb and yt stuff I find is all years old. Match search on the ipsc site and on practiscore yield nothing. Could there really be no Action Air matches in the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Its possible it got shut down or died due to lack of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Rowdy, have your friend contact IPSC Japan by emailing jpn@ipsc.org. That's the Japan IPSC contact listed on the https://www.ipsc.org/regions/ website. Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Their website is dead so no, I did not ask him about that. I found that email pretty quickly so I'm sure he did too. But I'll ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 This FB page looks pretty recent and it has an Event for an upcoming Match (full already, I think): https://www.facebook.com/dvcipsc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contacting them may lead to information on other matches or clubs closer to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 I saw he is already following them on fb. I'll presume he's done his own due diligence on that. Has anyone had success finding any other match or club in Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbreath Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 This guy on YouTube posts match video pretty regularly. Not sure where—we've never interacted, beyond subscribing to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Funny you should mention this- I’m in Japan right now, trying to get Practiscore to let me register for a match in Phoenix next week, and it keeps resetting location and showing me matches “in my area”. Impossible to get it to behave on my phone, had to use my laptop to reset the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
