Action Rifle League Presents:
The Close Quarter Shooting Series
Finally British Columbia has its own competitive rifle league!
On Saturday November 30th, Action Rifle League brings the inaugural competition of the Close Quarter Shooting Series to the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club. Beginning in 2014, Action Rifle League will put together one or more competitions per month at various ranges around BC in an effort to get people off the bench and into the exciting world of competitive shooting. Participants will shoot snap matches, rapid fire matches, move and then shoot, shoot rifles until empty and then transition to pistol. Time will be short so drills better be smooth! Wipe the bench rust off your ARs, your type 97s, your RFBs, your 858s, your SKSs or whatever center fire rifle you have. Got an Enfield or K98 you want to try? Bring it out, but be ready to work that bolt faster than you ever thought possible! Targets are anywhere from 10 to 35 meters away. You can’t miss right?!
Participants will to need to bring a few things:
 A center fire rifle (no rimfire or pistol carbines for now please). Semi autos are the standard, but feel free to bring a military style bolt gun if you like.
 All rifles must have five (5) detachable magazines capable of holding minimum 5 rounds each.
 Sights for your rifle. Scopes, red dots, Elcans, irons or whatever, it’s your choice!
 A sling for your rifle which will allow the rifle to hang in front of you, not over your shoulder.
 A reliable pistol with 3 magazines and a holster, with at least one level of retention.
 You are also going to need some way to carry all your stuff. Tac vests, belt kits, chest rigs or just big pockets are all viable options. Whatever you prefer!
 150 rounds of your favourite rifle ammo and 50 rounds of pistol ammo should cover you for the day.
 Eye and hearing pro are mandatory.
 Dress for the weather and bring a lunch because we aren’t stopping!
Mandatory range safety briefing will take place at 09:15 and all participants must attend. If you don’t attend the briefing, you don’t get to shoot. We have lots of new safety issues to run through and squadding to organize.
Match fees are $65.00 for non-members or $55.00 if you are a member of Abbotsford Fish and Game Club.
Please RSVP to actionrifleleague@gmail.com or ats@abbotsfordfishandgameclub.org no later than November 15, 2013. Spaces are limited so register NOW!
Bring a positive attitude and come give this a try. It’s perfect for those that have never shot a competition before and fun is guaranteed!

Woo! Glad this is getting going so soon.

If anyone is on the fence about it, the crew putting this together are some of the best folks you could deal with in terms of getting into a new sport. You will learn a ton from them, and will have a week long perma grin after.
 
Oh yay for sure! Surplus is good to go! We plan on running at least one per month starting in 2014. We are totally self contained so if you want a match in Terrace or the okanagan we can make it happen at your range. We just come and set it all up.

So good to hear that you guys are gonna take this fun on the road. This is the same idea we did up at Pemberton GC this past July. All good fun. And yes, we are bouncing around the idea of some National Level competition. We can host this kinda fun in all kinds of places. Just takes time now. :D

I'm really pleased!

Cheers and keep helping the noooobs!

Why no pistol carbines? My Cx4 would love this kinda match lol
 
Well the Ontario guys have been doing it for a while now so we have a bit of catching up to do for sure. Lol but it won't take long.
The question came up why no pistol caliber carbines. We may add them in later but for right now managing recoil is going to be a huge part of this. Lots of shots in short periods of time from different positions. Pistol carbines have almost zero recoil and may have a bit of an advatage. We shall see after we run a couple. Emmer if you need an AR to shoot let me know. You can use one of mine no problem!
