2016 was a busy year for the ATS group. Monthly shooter numbers were a consistent 8-12 per practice day, with the steel target arrays allowing a lot more trigger time on the platforms. The steel is also far more forgiving in the inclement weather, ‘cause “if it ain’t rainin’, it ain’t trainin’…”.

The ATS hosted CQB matches continue to be extremely popular, with participant numbers ranging from 50-65 shooters per match.

The highlight of the 2016 training season were the two IDF Tavor Course’s; an eye opener, as it relates to how basic firearm training is conducted by one of the worlds premier combat force.
