Loved it, thanks Barney and Buckaroo! What did I learn:
1. Lube your AR and Handgun, wet BC works better than dry
2. Carry a zippo
3. I need to shoot more.
4. DD, HK and KnightsA are very reliable
5. 3x magnifier would be appreciated
6.See no 1.

Thanks everyone for the fun and safe participation, good group of shooters. I'll be shooting for the mid June CQB match as I'm conflicted in two weeks, hope to see everyone there.

My cheap Norinco and TP9SF didn't fail me as well; not a single hickup; I'm impressed with the results... Gave them a total clean-up last night, they are ready for the match...!

7. Don't buy a NEA or T97
8. Buy a norinco M4
9. Ganderite is one hell of a shot
10. Keep your desert eager at home

All in all it was a great clinic, I met some new people and had lots of fun. It was a great turnout with 48 shooters over 6 lanes.

I think I'm in love with the modified prone position, unreal how tight of groups you can get with it. I tried the 'pool cue' support and gripping the mag well, and found both to work equally well with this 10.5" AR.

Thanks again Barney, I had a blast.

First off.....

A big Alberta Thank you to Barney and Wade (Buckaroo) whose efforts are greatly appreciated which:

*made this a successful clinic/course

*planted the seeds to build a thriving Service Rifle CQB community here in Alberta

I have a feeling there will be great things in store for all of us that participate!!

Further, I should also like to thank my home club of the CDTSA for allowing the use of their facility in this manor. Many clubs would not have let this happen.

This was the first opportunity I have had to visit the Milo Facility, and was very impressed!! I truly think it will be a world class facility, and we are truly fortunate to have it!!

On to business. Many who attended have posted videos of the drills and courses of fire. I will take a little different track, and post some of the behind the scene photo's.

Remember, this course had 48 participant, organizes into squads of eight over six lanes. As Barney would say............You do the MATH!!

This was a very well organized and orderly course!! This was Largely due to the Organizers, but also because of the shooters themselves.

All participants came with a great attitude, were prepared with their gear along with their own folding tables and chairs!!

Here are a few pic's:

The one shooting bay we all used




The man himself




Only SOME of the hardware that was used



Some participants taking a break



Other paticpants making sure to dring enough fluids and have a rest between relays



A gratuitous picture of that Alberta Sky!!



A shot of the registration tabels



A meeting between Barney, Buckaroo, and the range saftey officers (who did and excellent job by the way!!)



Back at it, one realy is done, and the next is about to start



Shooters waiting for thier relay



Well that is it for now.

I hope to have a chance to write an After Action Report as time allows.

Thanks again, and I would be happy to filed any comments of questions any of you might have!!

See you all Next time!!

regards and all the best
