2016 was a busy year for the ATS group. Monthly shooter numbers were a consistent 8-12 per practice day, with the 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 [...]
On New Year's Day, we had 2 shooters out practicing PPC in the snow. The February 5, 2017 match was cancelled due to the heavy snow fall. Regards Robert Stoddart PPC Sub Club Director

Earlier this month the Abby IPSC Team held their first indoor Club Match for members. The original date had been snowed out, but we were able to reschedule for Family Day Monday. As this was an all indoor match the logistics of how this was going to accommodate all of the shooters in an efficient [...]
40 YEARS LATER… You have to belief in karma at some point. The Abby club match got snowed out the week before and I was working and could not make it. Along comes Snowmaggedon and the match gets delayed to Feb13.2017. That is EXACTLY 40 years to the day that the first IPSC [...]
