Happy September 3rd 2015, and it's time to celebrate the implementation of C42 and we don't need paper ATT for approved CIVILIAN ranges. For DND bases, however, we still need them (different jurisdiction). Still a minor inconvenience but it still needs to be sorted out. You will still need a letter of invite from Chalkriver (numbah one pointman and organizer)
Anyways, I cannot get over the 2 FULL clinics (at 28 shooters) we have had over the past summer. Time to organize another and see if some others can make this one, even if it is in the middle of hunting season. I'll just be back in time from moose/rifle season. I am overwhelmed by the support I've received in the Valley especially among the QC shooters, so let's do this clinic one more time before the snow flies!
Where
CFB Petawawa Echo Range, but we will gather up at the White (P-141) Bldg, 5 bay garage doors, across from the Base Fire Hall (S-105). It's a quick right turn, immediately after you enter the main gate on base. Bring ID to show you are not a bad dude.
When
24-25 October 2015 Sat & Sunday
We usually gather around 0800 - 0830 and then convoy over to Range Control.
Cost
$80 for both days (go and find any instruction for that price point) ha ha ha ha
I'm only taking 28 shooters, first come, first served
Where to Stay
About 10-15min from range control (and right by Kelseys) http://www.petawawaqualityinnandsuites.com/
2 min from base with several fast food/pizza options close by http://www.petawawariverinnandsuites.ca/
Camping details:
The campsite is inexpensive and nice. Here are a few links.

Material Focus
Everything I'll be teaching you is based on the CQB matches fired by the ORA at Langemark Range, CFB Borden.
Here's the bulk of the material from my www.tacticalteacher.ca website:
CQB Clinic Description (both restricted and non-restricted focus)
CQB Competition (like in the ORA - Ontario Rifle Association) :
* Snap shooting, rapid fire shooting, modified prone shooting
* Advance and fire shooting
* rapid magazine changes (since we don't use hi-cap mags in Canada)
* gear selection, gear manipulation, gear evolution (I'm gonna surprise ya big time...)
* What works in close and what belongs in the video games
* What works for you and what does not work for you
* Why you do up all your pouches and zippers especially before using the PortaPotty
CQB Gear to Bring:
Depending upon the focus of the type of CQB clinic
* Reliable , dependable, and tested RESTRICTED rifle & pistol
