April’s IDF Tavor courses were well attended, with a lot of positive feedback expressed, both on course content, as well as the facility. The instruction on the current IDF “Big Army Way” of training provided a completely different perspective, from the usual “Gunfighter” style typically taught on North American carbine courses. I also sweat about [...]

Tavor Course Update ATS will be hosting 2 Tavor courses this month, in lieu of the regular ATS day; 22-24 April, indoor and Range 2, and [...]

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 [...]

Sunday 24 Jan saw 6 shooters out, with a full steel array for drills. Feedback was very positive, though the drills run need some tweaking, to allow for the decrease in time wasted taping targets!

Lower numbers allowed for some good movement drills, and higher round count. A reminder for the wrap up CQB shoot, this Saturday; will be a great prize table, for those consistently [...]
