CQB Clinic:
The CQB Clinics are designed to get you started (possibly become an expert ) into the local CQB Matches hosted by expert match directors "Memnoch" and "dink27". Memnoch is the Match Director for the Quebec based matches and dink27 is the Match Director for the ORA Matches at Base Borden on Langemark Range. What's not to like?
Just for the newbies, a video of what you can expect at my CQB clinics!
Much thanks for AB CQB shooter adriel.....
The ORA will host their own clinic around early April. If you cannot make it to those clinics, I will be running them 27-28 April 2019. These clinics at Base Petawawa's Echo Range will certainly save you a long drive (if you live in the Ottawa Valley Region). For you GTA budding CQB shooters, can you say “Road Trip?” Honestly there exist a whole pile of GTA CQB lovers who make the trip to Garrison Petawawa and enjoy the wonderful drive up to Bancroft, Combermere, and Barry’s Bay to Petawawa area. You city folk will love this drive...
And of course for my AB brethren in arms, I am happy to be back at CDTSA Milo Range in AB once again...
PR - Precision Rifle Weekends
Now about those PR Weekends, we have had several seasons running these events and we have experienced great fun....
These match weekends will consist of the Saturday Zeroing "walk back". We start by confirming zeroes at 100m/yd and then walk back to 600m/yd. By the end of the Saturday practice, you will obtain your DOPE (data obtained from previous experience) for your rig, load, bullet, settings, etc, etc, etc. Where else can you get that known distance shooting established all in one day?
On the Sunday, we will shoot these matches, found in the www.dcra.ca course of fire / rulebook.... you can download the rulebook at the DCRA site!
200 m/yd Rapid Follow Up
300 m/yd Agony Snap
500 m/yd Snap commonly called "Targets of Opportunity"
600 m/yd Deliberate commonly called "One shot, one kill"
Oh yeah, that's all found in the DCRA NSCC rule book! I did not make them up!
So start marking your calendars and reloading some booolits for the coming season. At least this year I’ve given you all three months head start unlike last season when I was working in Construction and Fiber Optic Installation when things we touch and go for the early 2017 Season. This year we are back for more....
Cheers
