We had a great turnout of 9 members at our last range event, one of which made the decision to book a PAL course! Unfortunately at the end of the night we had to put an AR500 steel target to bed as the corner gave out on us. With it now being September, many [...]
There were IPSC Qualifiers in Pitt Meadows and Kamloops BC in the month of August. All the Qualifiers were sold out and as always, our AFGC members finished very well in the matches. We would like to take the opportunity to thank the organizers of the Qualifiers for the hard work they put in [...]
