I am pleased to announce the second annual Dundurn, SK Hungry M14 clinic, and the first Annual Hungry CQB clinic. This is a full four days of shooting goodness you will not want to miss, we had a blast last year and that was only a one day clinic. Now with 75% more awesome.

Here is the info on what will be happening:

Range Fees are $5 a day for Non Dundurn Rod and Gun members, for a total of $15 for all three range days. Collected day one, in class

M14 Clinics (2 day format)

Registration at: PM Hungry http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/member.php?12180-Hungry

Cost: $50 per Day, not including Range/Insurance fees

Timings: 0900 start - Likely finish up around 1600 hrs each day...

Second day evening:
PICK Barney's Brain Session in the restaurant or clinic venue depending on where we are.

Registration and Payment: You can choose EMT (electronic money transfer for you online banking fans), the EMT instructions are in the [Contact Me] Page. If you choose the Snail Mail payment by cheques/buried cash, email me, see the [Contact Me] link/page.

Material Covered:

- Tools for tweaking, tools to avoid, tools that are nice to have but expensive, tools that are overrated and too expensive
- Gadgets that are nice to have, need to have, and useless to have (but I had to buy it to show you)
- Tools that you can make yourself instead of buying, tools that you can have buddies (owe you favours) make up for you
- Stripping the boomstick (you will be surprised at what I can show you)
- Assembling the boomstick, and what to look for so that worthwhile tweaks can be or should be made
- Tweaks that work, tweaks that don't work, expensive tweaks so yer #### does not fall off
- Useless tweaks unless you have more money than shooting ability (many stories to follow at the clinic)
- Common pitfalls, expensive tweaks that work, more ways to ensure that yer #### don't fall off
- Lunch and then tweaking in the afternoon, shimming, pounding out more shims (all hands on activities)
- Lots of networking and socializing all the time. This is priceless (even if the $ 35 only covers my costs).

And here's a pic from the Interior BC M14 Clinic mixed with some CQB match drills... the Modified Prone!



So git ready fer some fun!

Cheers,
Barney
 
Well darn,

Thanks to last year I no longer need a M14 tweaked. But I still need to learn how to shoot the darn thing. So am I safe in assuming that Day 2 of the M14 clinic teaches a more traditional style of shooting with slings and stuff or, would it be just to test what improvments the day before has netted?

Also the two day CQB is it a two day course requiring 400 rounds? Or a one day course twice? If its a one day course twice I wonder if my shoulder would survive. I just want to know if I need to pay for 2 or 3 days.

Also is there any camping grounds close to the Dundurn area? I was thinking it would nice to use the camping gear if the weather is nice.

It's a 2 day course, each day is very different. DAy one is drills and skills, Day 2 puts it all together with lots of flow and panache.

M14, hold on here... have you read the clinic descriptions in my website yet? www.tacticalteacher.ca < Services > tab...

Both days are different. Go and have a read.

Cheers,
Barney

There is also IICR serviced camping in Dundurn, which is only 10km away. There is also a hotel there for those who prefer that. I will be adding this information shortly as things get confirmed.

I'm in Peace River, AB tonight and resting from my first day of the 2 day M14 clinic here in Peace Country. All good fun. Lots and lots of laughter. I am looking forward to the clinics in Dundurn, SK where the military side of my (stale) jokes will ring out! ha ha ha ha

Remind me to tell the Desert Eager, numbah one! Story. It's a goodie.

Cheers all... see you in a few days.

Barney
 
Barney has arrived safe and sound and is resting in casa de Barney. AKA a pull out in my basement lol

Get ready for four days of fun in the sun of anti #### falling offedness.

Shawn
 
Hey, I heard that... #### falling offedness! ha ha ha ha

Yer dicks are safe. But we will have several laughs and learn lots and lots. Ensure ya bring sandwiches and a cooler for drinks throughout the learning days. :D

Cheers and good night. See you all tomorrow at the Detachment Dundurn Curling/Archery/Rod/ Gun club. Oh yeah, don't forget to follow the "M14" signs stapled up to the wooden posts from the Hwy 11 when you turn off into the base. Watch yer speed limit, MP's are relaxing and need some excitement with you speeders. :evil:

Barney
