All, this months ATS shoot is Sunday, 27 September, Range 5, 0930hrs setup. $10 AFG members, $20, non members.
Please RSVP, if you plan on attending.
Pistol/ carbine/ shotgun; bring 250 rnds per platform, with the gear to carry it; being able to work your handgun from the holster is pretty much mandatory, though we can work around it, if required.
AFGC Active Shooter Skills & Drills is a great primer for the handgun work, if you haven’t a lot of holster time.
If ATS needs to cancel the Carbine Course, due to insufficient numbers, we’ll be running the day on Range 3- this is sub optimal, people; PLG provides top notch training, so if you’re ‘on the fence’, get off it, and register.
03 October, is the next CQB shoot. Contact Ryan S, at actionrifleleague@gmail.com for more information, and to register.
Upcoming training:

Skills development will focus on fluid manipulation and target engagement, multiple target engagement, shooting on the move and from various positions as dictated by the environment. This course will be of special value to the competitive shooter who wishes to build on their library of competitive shooting skills. The instructor reserves the right to vet candidates based upon their abilities.

21-22 November: ATS will be hosting Phase Line Green, for a Lowlight Pistol and Carbine course:
LOW LIGHT (2 DAY)
http://www.phaselinegreentactical.ca/low-light.php
Many shooters have the requisite skills to operate their firearms effectively in daylight or high visibility conditions however most have had little opportunity to employ these skills in low-light environments. The introduction of darkness to any shooting scenario tends to compound the difficulty of manipulating the firearm, utilizing the environment and darkness tends to add to the overall stress experienced by the shooter.
This course is designed for the experienced shooter who may find the need to employ firearms in environments where light and visibility have been compromised. Fields of instruction will include daylight and low-light firearms operation, dry-fire and live fire drills with a focus on consistency of platform and procedure.
Day one will focus on various techniques surrounding the employment of pistols with white light utilizing light, darkness and the environment for concealment and force multiplication purposes.
Day two will encompass the use of both the pistol and carbine in low-light conditions.
Course participants will be operating on both an indoor and outdoor range environment so be prepared for inclement weather!
Topics will include:
- Fundamentals of consistent pistol and carbine operation in daylight and low-light environments
- Equipment choices, set-up and optimization
- Optimal use of various hand-held and firearm-mounted lights
- Environmental interaction for maximum advantage
- Movement and multiple target engagement
- Working in pairs and communications
- Use of slings, carbine to pistol transitions
Required equipment:
- Reliable pistol with holster, two magazine pouches and at least 3 magazines
- Hand-held flashlight
- Pistol mounted flashlight (if you have one)
- Carbine with sling, at least 4 carbine magazines and a carbine mounted flashlight
- 500 pistol rounds/500 rifle rounds
- Eye and ear protection
- Snacks, water, small first aid kit
