EESA- East Elgin CQB Clinic 26-27 Oct 2019

I assume we are breaking for lunch each day - should we bring a packed lunch or are there food options on site or nearby?

Thanks.

I always tell guests to bring sandwiches.....but I am not the local club organizer here. Play it safe and bring your lunches and snacks. Better bring more water and fluids because one never knows when water supplies may be scarce.

Only a couple of weeks away. If you are sitting on the fence, I am deliberately making this happen with Steve693 because we STILL CAN......

Don’t wait until the LIEBERALS do what they promised to do.....remember, “It’s not the arrow, but the warrior!”


Cheers, Barney.
 
EESA does have a small kitchen onsite. It used to be open on saturdays, but it has been a long time since I have been there on a weekend. Burgers and sandwiches if I recall correctly. Can’t recall offhand if they had a fryer too.
 
EESA does have a kitchen but when I put the request in I didn't request a lunch figuring that it would help keep the cost down and simplify things.
 
Okay, I’m just checking the weather forecast for the coming weekend. It’s gonna be wet.

I’m quoting my mentor Ret’d Captain Keith Cunningham (and his wife Linda Miller) of 3w dot Milcun dot com and his favourite saying, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just shzt clothing.....”

So I’m preaching the same shzt at you CQB’ers....

Dress for the weather. Bring a spare change of clothes for the drive home/hotel/motel/highway. Bring spare footwear. Bring spare rain gear also!!

Bring extra food and snacks... especially for the second day. Bring extra drinks and leave them in the car. If you happen to have an event tent to stay dry and keep your kit under cover.

Hey Steve.693:

Can you envision range 4 at ESSA, with the kit line (behind 35m) and space for the event tent(s) ?

I’m going to be hoteling on Talbot Street just on the East side of St. Thomas. I’m checking in tomorrow (Friday ) night.

More details about dinner on Saturday night , we’ll see. For the rest of you CQB Borden/CQB Petawawa crew, I’m not used to a town without Danny’s Steak House so we gotta see what we can arrange for Saturday evening dinner......

In Garrison Petawawa, I’ve been spoiled (for the past 7 years) by Danny’s Steak House for Saturday dinner after my clinics. They never fail to satisfy! I’m blessed!!

We are getting closer.....time to make noise with our restricted toys, and no mass shootings will ever take place with us responsible gun owners/ sport shooters! Hahahahaha

Cheers, Barney
 
Not much room for a tent but we are spoiled at EESA and the 50m line is covered so we are guaranteed a dry staging area if nothing else.

Excellent to hear. Keep your ammo and folding chair and cooler of food under cover in the staging area. That’s awesome to hear. Thanks.

Now some of you who are CSSA (Calibre Magazine subscribers) Members, and you have your own issue of Vol 7/issue 4 with me featured in there.... bring that magazine and I can sign it for you. I was given 100 copies by the kind ladies at Full Spectrum Gear in Petawawa and they are all gone to my fan club (especially my Chinese Fan Club.... LOL).

I’ll be honoured to sign your copy! I always keep a Sharpie on me so that when my drunken friends at University Residence parties pass out, I get to draw a “Hitler Moustache” under their noses while they sleep! That’s what I get to do when I’m always the “Designated Driver”... hahahahaha. :evil:

Okay, back to packing the TT Truck....

Thanks for a great class this weekend. It was fun and I learned a lot.

Someone there mentioned being unable to find LAR 15 10/30sm- they are on sale at Maple Ridge Armoury.
 
Thank you for an awesome weekend Barney! I learned quite a bit (like how many muscles I dont use, how much I need to take up yoga, the joy of Fisherman's Friend). And my pistol grip technique sucks...
 
Home safely from a long drive. I lost my voice and have a brutal sore throat. I need throat lozenges like a Fisherman’s Friend ! Hahahahaha

Talk to you guys later tomorrow morning when I unpack my truck.

Goodnight. Hope all got home safely.

Cheers, Barney
 
I have so much to be thankful for......

“If you want to be great, be grateful!”

* I have a great pointman and coach, Steve693.... Thanks for arranging the week and then coaching on the line with me
* I have super clients who were on point and just jumped enthusiastically into the game
* Thanks for your opened up attitudes and willingness to learn all the new stuff.
* Thanks to our sponsor Select Shooting Supplies for supplying our targets
* Thanks for having my back: Wolverine Supplies!
* Thanks to Bullseye Sports for selling a tonne of ammo to my clients, we sure had fun with it...
* Thanks for the experienced people jumping in and helping out along the way
* Thanks to the EESA executive for making a shooting competition clinic like this happen in Ontario Civilian Gun Club (military ranges are dead easy, but Civilian clubs?) This is a first for around here....well, maybe at Guelph , too.
* Thanks to my shooters who drove crazy long distances to attend this clinic, they don’t happen too often, but here we are
* Thanks to our photographer, Ryan who gave up his weekend to keep the cameras rolling. Happy you loved my power supply!! Cyntur Brand on Amazon dot ca. $100 ish give or take
* More thanks go to Steve....not only did he help with the “Safety” duties, He was able to jump in and help with the coaching since he has attended many / countless clinics of mine in CQB and Precision Rifle. His expertise and experienced was volunteered willingly throughout the entire clinic. It’s like having an assistant instructor on the line.... Warmest gratitude!!


It was an amazing weekend shooting, learning and networking for future clinics and matches down in the Aylmer or SW Ontario area. Thanks for hosting me and allowing me to showcase my skill set teaching this fun set of drills and skills.

Until next season.... Keep moving, keep shooting! :wave:

Cheers, Barney
 
Thanks all for a great weekend.

Big shout out to Steve for taking the time to give me some tips to improve my game...and for helping me sort out my various Tavor issues.
 
It was a great group and the weather even cooperated (mostly anyway)

I am just glad we we able to get this rolling and you guys confirmed that we can do this at a private club without any issues.

Thanks to everyone for coming down and making this happen. Looking forward to get things rolling next year and do it again.
