um you didnt say what date or where. I guess that's what the 'send PM' is about, huh.

Oooops! My bad. Original post edited with date and location.

What qualifications are required to enter?

No 'qualifications' required. You'll need a servicable handgun 9mm or larger, a 'carry' type holster, 3 x mags or 4 x speedloaders/mooclips with pouches, concealment garment, and eye & ear protection.

No need to be a member for your first match but if you want to shoot subsequent matches you'll need to join.

Well, ATHL Match #6 is now history. 15 shooters braved the chilly weather to shoot 9 challenging stages (including 12 year old Daniel T. - ATHL's first junior competitor). Six also stayed after the match to shoot the Classifier.

There were gremlins in the scoring program so the final results aren't available just yet (I have to re-do them manually) but I'll post them and some photos as soon as I'm able......

Here are a couple I had from my camera

Here are two future juniors

and the only thing they wanted to talk about all the way home was Ken's Hummer with the machine guns on the hood

Thanks to the match director Joe Tucker for a great match.

Needless to say, I had a riot on Sunday. I think the only time the ear to ear grin on my face was gone was near the end of the day, when I was finally cold to the bone (yep, that weather did penetrate my natural insulation,) and my shooting hand was raw from the slide chafing skin off in the web of my thumb and forefinger (that'll learn me to shoot that much ammo without putting a beavertail grip safety on my Delta.) Hopefully I can amke it down for Provincials next month, and barring that, I know what I'm doing with my vacation time next year!

 

[Dragoon]

Glad you had a good time Pete! Hope to see you again in October.

 

[Corp. Punishment]

Thanks to all who braved the cold and managed to make the match.

Steve, Dan is looking forward to your two juniors joining up. Dan's sister will probably be gearing up soon too.

Glad you had a good time Pete! Hope to see you again in October.

That's the plan. Even if I have to trade shifts or call in (cough, cough) sick. Unless of course we can swing something so I can shoot Saturday.

Mass, if you or any of the other shutterbugs managed more photos of me, I'd like copies. They're going onto my Facebook

[dan belisle]

Thx, Dragoon. I'll have to swing by Olds and check it out. - dan

 

[Grizz Axxemann]

I'll have an open seat in my truck if you're planning on making it down for the upcoming match, Dan.

Hey Grizz, you planning on using that badass Delta Elite again?

 

[Grizz Axxemann]

Yep. It's the only gun I'm classed with

I hope more of my precious brass turned up

 

[dan belisle]

Thx, Grizz, I'll keep it in mind. I may combine it with a visit to some relatives in Olds though, so if I do that I'll need my own wheels. - dan

 

[Maple Leaf Pilgrim]

I'll keep an eye out for it next time 'round!

By the way,

Mas,

is the match going to be a two day affair or are we just shooting on one?

 

[Dragoon]

The Provincial Championships will be one day: Sunday the 21st.

 

[Grizz Axxemann]

Uh oh... There's no way to jam me in a day early to fit my insane work schedule, is there?
