The day started with setup at 9AM and went live at 10AM. 7 mixed levels of shooters on the line. The first round was a warm -up to see where everyone was, skill wise, and then we moved into positional shooting and turns. Advanced to shooting on the move, single shooter at a time [...]
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.

Two for the PM regular ATS portion. Practiced positional shooting with pistol and the shotgun literally until we ran out of ammo. A note for the future ATS, if you [...]
While the December 27th ATS was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, a number of advanced ATS members were able to meet unofficially, for a two hour, socially distanced and masked, AM shoot, utilising the 6 active bays on Range 3.
