CQB and Service Pistol - Ontario Rifle Association 2020 Season Update

[dink27]

Hello shooters
2020 ORA CQB season begins soon. Dates at this time are tentative, nothing is confirmed at this time. You should be on me email list if you are not already http://eepurl.com/bZ_ZJT you would have gotten the below details a week ago.

I am looking for some help with some things to keep CQB alive and well again this season. We should have enough RSO qualified people to spread it out so everyone only needs to help at one or two matches, if we don't have enough volunteers I will cancel matches.

Staff Positions
are all remunerated $100 per day plus kilometers

• Firing Point Officer to blow the whistle and keep time - experience shooting CQB required
• Two Assistant Range Officers to help conduct the firing line - some experience shooting CQB required
• Range Safety Officer - you can hold this an do any of the above roles, you must be on the Base's list of RSOs, you will be responsible for the range, you need to volunteer in advance, so I can get you on the list. The list is limited in size.

Complimentary Positions
do not pay for a match fee

• Stats officer - must have experience with excel/data entry
• Quartermaster - bring match supplies to the next match, including target preparation, must be arranged 1 match in advance

Reminders

• Registration for all matches will be in Practiscore
• Payment will be by EMT, no cash at the range. Payment is due at least 1 week before the match.
• No refunds for cancellations in the week before the match.
• Everyone set-ups, everyone cleans up. No showing up late, no leaving early, no ignoring the brass sweep, etc. Malingerers will be asked to leave and not return.

Guests
As far as I know guests/non members are only able to participate in a single ORA event before they must become members. This will be enforced without exception.

Match Fee
$30

Service Pistol
I have decided that we will include Service Pistol as part of CQB. We will be using a slightly modified NSCC Course of Fire. Refer to

Note the following items regarding Service Pistol

• The course of fire will be modified to use CQB type targets
• The round count will be modified slightly
