Similar to the other subclubs, ATS has nothing good to report for the month of November. The ATS team is anxious to hear the word from the club so we can join the cleanup and rebuilding to get our range up and running again. As with others, a detailed list of destroyed items is to follow; [...]
In lieu of the regular ATS Day, we were hosting Veritac's DSTO course over the weekend. 9 Shooters joined the course including three ATS members. It was very good to see the level of training of this group exceeded expectations. As a result, we went far and beyond what previous DSTO courses were able to [...]

Overall a great day on the range! 6 shooters attended this advanced practice where all the skills gained over the last couple of years were used.
