2015 was a busy year, for the ATS group. Numbers were a consistent 8-12 shooters per practice, with the new and repaired 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 continued to be extremely popular, with participant numbers ranging from 35-50 shooters per match. This year’s inaugural match also saw the roll out of the “Bravo” course of fire, to supplement the “Alpha” CoF; this season will see alternating Alpha and Bravo courses of fire, keeping shooters on their toes.
The highlight of the 2015 training series was the ever popular Phase Line Green Low Light Course, with a smattering of NVG work thrown into the mix. Always a fantastic course, with new material always mixed into the ‘basics’.
Training events for the 2016 year are slowly being added, with the first of the year being the 22-24 April IDF Tavor Course; details coming soon.
