I don't think the particulars matter as much as having consistent rules that everyone follows. If there is a set of rules clubs use throughout Alberta say, then it stands to reason that competitors would be more inclined to travel and compete at different clubs, thus growing the sport. For this alone, I would recommend considering using those that are proving the most popular amongst the 3-gun sports.
Having consistant, established rules also means competitors that are looking to start or even continue can source and buy kit and guns with confidence that they can use that equipment.

If one doesn't know the rules or if rules will be changed, how do they prepare for a match or matches from year to year?

Totally agree. It would be nice to follow a major US format as well, for those that do aspire to go to matches in the states.

The match was run well. There were a couple weird things though. Not being able to move from shooting position to shooting position with a round in the chamber, the required use of slings (I'd rather not risk a dq and have my rifle get caught on something and lose control of it), keeping the muzzle pointed down or up when moving between shooting positions instead of keeping it pointed down range, and last but most important: there was no freestyle approach. A huge chunk of the fun of action shooting is being presented a stage and figuring out how to do it your way.

All that said, it was great to get out and shoot and the CDTSA guys did a great job.
 
Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated.

As already stated multiple times. Things are done different two reason. One is safety specific to that range and encouragement of people of different skill levels. Second is to do something's that we typically don't get to play with (IE slings). If you want a cookie cutter "Gaming" experience then this might not be for you.

- No round in chamber is a byproduct of not having a good way to verify someone's skill level. (Not going to say you have to be a BB guy to play, so lets not go down that route please)
- Don't like slings because you don't want to risk loosing control on it. THATS THE POINT. How can you ever get better? We Safely executed this by having the rifle verified empty before moving with allowed them to effectively use the sling in movement with muzzle down or straight up for American carry. Not to mention this is posted in the rules so everyone knew what they were getting into before hand.
- Remember this is for fun for everyone, not just for people that want to practice for the states.

Might sound like a defensive rant. That is not the intention. I am simply going over the "whys" again. I believe in transparency.
 
Also, because of the out of the box thinking from the team I now know how to load a shotgun and shoot from a couch while missing my brand new Tv.... From both shoulders :D
 
Scores are completed and have been submitted for upload to our website. I imagine you will seen it in a couple days.

More of the same! :)

The CQ rifle stuff is fun and the box-o-shells shotgun course was a blast (pun intended)!

Anything that we are not allowed to do during regular range hours is all good.
 
HEY ALL

The perfect round count for the match this coming Sunday is
Pistol 40
Rifle 30
Shotgun 40
Total 110

Keep in mind this is a PERFECT round count.... there are a LOT of tricky shots so budget for a lot more

Slings are NOT required for this course of fire. Although that is because I simply forgot to add it to one of the stages.

One of the stages is 25 rounds shotgun. Some people might have issues holding that many rounds on their person, but I have a Shotgun MicroRig that I will loan out to who ever needs it for that CoF.

If there is a bit of rain, we are still a "go". If it is a friggen monsoon and we cant keep targets from flying away we will cancel the match and post it on our main website.

Any additional questions? (Without me describing the courses of fire)

Awesome!
Glad to see new faces. Just be aware, your going to get hooked on it. PM me if you have any questions on how to prep for it.
When are you coming in to town?
 
Was planning on being there for 8am. Buddy told me 8:30 but I like to be early. He gave me a pretty good rundown on what I need, and sent me the round counts. Only thing left to pick up is some tmj 9mm.
