Well billygoat, you were with me this summer, there's nothing wrong with a very reliable AR carbine and the Glock pistols you brought to my clinic! This event sounds like a pile of fun!
Cheers,
Barney

Only one so far but several others are watching to see how this match goes.
For the past five years we have run our Ontario CQB matches with "hot" transitions to pistol. After shooting a rapid fire rifle drill, the safety shooter would see the mag drop and an empty chamber and shout "Clear!", while tapping the shooter on the back. The shooter would then drop the rifle, draw his pistol, and fire his 10 shots at 2 targets.
In theory, this is safe. However, there is always the risk of a shooter dropping a loaded rifle before the Safety can stop him.
This weekend we we tried a new approach. The two elements were split in half - 10 seconds for each. For the rifle, the shooter advances 5 yards on the whistle and fires his 10 shots in 10 seconds. This turned out to be fairly easy. The rifles are then all cleared, and after the line is clear, we start the pistol shoot. The shooter starts with his rifle in the aim, and on the whistle drops the rifle, draws and racks his pistol, and fires his 10 shots in 10 seconds. This is not easy, but it is doable.
Don't let the Lee Enfield in the movie confuse you. I usually shoot this event with an AR-15, but thought I would try a Lee Enfield for giggles. It worked well, except that being scoped I could not do speed reloads with a stripper clip. Next time I will try one with iron sights.
This YouTube clip shows what a "Cold" transition looks like in real time.

Awesome Ganderite! I'm sure we will have a few folks out here shoot it with a bolt gun as well. Tim has filled me in on your changes as well and I think they sounds pretty good.
On another note folks we are now sold out!!!! Didn't take long at all. My guess is that a few guys will drop out closer to the date so I am starting a waiting list so if you want to shoot continue sending me requests at actionrifleleague@gmail.com and if anyone drops out I will slot you in according to who spoke first!

For those that have registered, if for any reason you feel you are not going to make it to the match please give me a heads up asap so that I can slot someone from the waiting list in there. Thanks guys we shall see you all at the match!
I will also be bringing my camera to the match... although I don't know if I'll have time to take photos in between everything, but I'll try my best! As always, if there's anyone who doesn't want their photo taken please let me know as well (either PM here or find me at the match and let me know). See you all there!
