If so, could you please give me some beginners tips?
Any IPSC shooters here?

Good idea to search and download the rules, there's lots to know, not just shooting. Canadian IPSC
rules are like 75 pages!
Marksmanship on a time limit is an issue, hitting a target at 20 yards fast is not easy to do!
In Canada most clubs require a shooter to pass a Holster course that includes marksmanship often
called a Black Badge course.

We had IPSC and IDPA guys at one of the ranges I worked at.
I would agree that you should go to some events and ask questions, all great guys usually, eager to share their knowledge.
Then be prepared to buy / build an expensive race gun and a reloading set up.
That is an expensive hobby, but it can be a lot of fun.
If you are looking to start competitive pistol shooting check into IDPA or even 2 and 3 gun matches.

The Black Badge course is hard to track down, at least the ones offered in Ontario. The IPSC Ontario website has not been the most up-to-date for quite some time. Even some folks on another Canadian firearms forum have trouble finding the course date.
Clubs that do offer the course on their own are half a day driving from where I am...

I do plan on getting the Black Badge so I can take part in IDPA as well.

GSSF is my membership. Glock Shooting Sports Foundation. Lots to learn,prizes,free glocks to win and a Glock Armorer on staff to do many upgrades for free or little cost.
I second the advice of going to matches and watching. Most people are quite willing to talk, and it's quite likely you'll be approached by someone to offer help and insight
