Happy New Year all!

Hope everyone survived the holidays with only minor collateral damage.

A reminder for this months ATS shoot, Sunday 26 Jan. We’ll be concentrating on shotgun/pistol in the AM, with a bit of carbine in the PM, primarily for those participating in the 01 Feb CQB shoot; read that as ‘site offset confirmation’…

Range 3, 1000hrs start, $10 drop in fee for AFG members, $20 for non members.
Please RSVP.

I would encourage those of you interested in participating in the 01 Feb CQB shoot to register with Ryan S, at actionrifleleague@gmail.com soon. Note he does maintain a waiting list, and chances are good you’ll gain a slot.

A reminder for some upcoming courses

2 Day Carbine

ATS is pleased to be bringing Phase Line Green back to Abbotsford, 22-23 February.

While listed in the “2 Day Carbine” section of the PLG website (click here to register, and for more information), the course will contain a substantial pistol component.

Also, day two will have an “Operations From and Around Vehicles” module.

This course focuses on the development of accuracy and speed during the course of shooting scenarios. 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.

Required Equipment:

  • Reliable rifle and at least 5 magazines (5 round 10 round LAR mags are fine) – Any centre-fire, semi auto rifle will work. Generally we get the AR platform but we have experience with almost all modern platforms!
  • Iron sights or optics
  • Sturdy pistol belt, a holster that covers the trigger guard, and at least 2 pistol magazine pouches and 3 rifle magazine pouches.
  • Chest rigs and drop holsters are fine. For police and military we encourage wearing operational gear (including armour)
  • NO SERPA holsters!
  • 250 rounds of reliable pistol ammunition, 400 rounds of rifle ammunition
  • Hearing protection, eye protection and a baseball cap
  • It’s a good idea to pack a cleaning kit, lube and spare parts if you have them (or even a spare gun!)
  • Knee and elbow pads are encouraged. You may wear gloves if you wish
  • Clothing suitable for inclement weather
  • Water, lunch and snacks
  • Pen and pad if you wish to take notes (always a good idea)
