JayT, I'd like to come out for one. Barney got me hooked on CQB last summer, it'd be interesting to see what SR is all about too.
I warn you once you start there is no going back to the bench.
Once the snow gets under 4 feet on our ranges Muley stalker and I are gonna try to get a form of SR up and running here in Wainwright. I could care less about the APRA! We just want to shoot! Also Longshot has promised me a copy of his COF for CQB and I would like to run that as well.

Jay T, talk to Shawn as well. He took the CQB RO training from Barney at Dundurn last summer and probably has something he can send you as well.
you bet. I did a guest RSO at one of their ORA matches. Got the COF from Tim K. gonna take both into consideration and run with them.
SWBW2000.... Count on it!
I seem to recall Edson has a pretty decent range - quite under utilized with the exception of pre hunting season.
Ever think of running a reduced course of fire SR? How about a milsurp shoot? CQB?
I think guys don't want to get involved for maybe lack of knowledge or fear of over-committing - the shoots themselves don't have to be elaborate (in my mind at least), it is usually enough to get together and put rounds down range.
The good thing about here in Wainwright is thru the gun club on base we have access to military ranges. for the CQB matches we have flat ranges so no one is shooting up hill on the berms. Once the snow dwindles we will start planing, for sure I will keep everyone updated.
Also, if guys wanna run milsurps for SR I am all for it!! Our Canadian Rangers run .303's in Ottawa and let me tell ya they get them rounds down range almost as fast a guys with semi's and just as accurate!!

I'll bring the SKS then. Are you guys irons only, or can I toss an optic on it?
run what ya brung. Optics, no optics, don't matter. We are not going to discriminate against anyone who wants to shoot and can be safe on the range. Once we get all the bugs worked out and start running these more often, also numbers permitting we can look at different classes, till then........ I was gonna say sky is the limit but we have to stay within the range templates so no .50's or .338's for now.
This is also subject to range availablity. Training on an active base takes priority over gun club.

Like tree mugger said, the Edson range is a joke. I was the first one to shoot there after they installed the ground baffles. It was impossible to shoot your target without tagging the top of the wooden wall of the baffle, even with the target as high up on the board as possible. They also put in pistol bays like in an indoor range that you have to stay inside while shooting. Also, it's only 300m with one spot for prone, which they don't want you to do because you're not on a bench shooting over the stupid ground baffles. Hinton goes out to 500m but probably only wide enough for 5 shooters.
