For those you that missed it, the 2008 IPSC BC Provincial Championships were blessed with great weather on both days.  133 competitors were treated to some fantastic stages this past Labour Day long weekend.  However, all good things come to an end, and when the dust cleared, there was really only one clear winner.  Nick ran away with Production Division, fitting considering the amount of work that he put in to making this match a winner.
