Want to learn to compete in Service Rifle from a National Champion and Queens Medalist? Want learn how easy making points at 500m really is?
This will be a small class size two day intro course. Instructors are both previous members of the Canadian Armed Forces Combat Shooting Team qualifying for and competing at multiple international competitions. Our goal is steepening the learning curve and giving participants a solid foundation on which to build their performance in the future. The course will be based on the “Cougar Musket” training program previously used by 39 CBG to prepare new soldiers for competition at the provincial level as part of selection for National Level events.
Topics to be covered will include;
-safe and efficient weapons handling
-principles of marksmanship
-positional shooting
-gear selection
-developing a training plan
-developing a mental plan
-target operation and scoring
-match conduct including deliberate, snap, rapid, run downs, and moving targets.
-external ballistics (drop, wind drift, mirage)
-and more.
Participants will require a pen, note book, serviceable firearm (ideally semi auto, magazine fed, with adjustable irons or scope), 3 mags minimum (+6 preferred), a way to carry mags (belt pouch/ chest rig ect), 400 rnds of ammo, Binoculars or spotting scope or 4x power rifle optic for scoring purposes. Environmental clothing (plan on being outside all day regardless of weather). And a back pack to carry everything a shooter needs for the day.
As no food or water is available at the range, participants will need to show up with both each day.
BCRA membership required and the cost is included in the ticket price. Membership fee will be refunded to current members.
Questions to the organizer.
Here are some reviews from a previous clinic
"A big thanks to Gunnerlove and Chris for setting this up, it was excellent in every respect and a bargain too. I learned more about my own limitations and the equipment than I can ever learn from the internet or a book etc.
Simply put, nothing beats actually doing it, and learning from the pro's.
If you own a service rifle, and really want to see how far you can go with it, sign up for the next one Gunnerlove puts on. I got a Vbull at 500 yards with a Norinco M305 shorty. That made my weekend.

"I think Gunnerlove and TheGuy should really have renamed their course to "Carbine Fundamentals Clinic" and grown more substantial beards; they'd have sold it out in 30 seconds at $1000 a head. Seems like most people in the tacticool community don't know how good Service Rifle here in Canada is, and how it tests your abilities as a rifle marksman. I am also frankly surprised more 3-gun or CQB guys didn't jump on the chance to range out and learn to shoot their long guns.
Seriously, if they do another one on the island, it's worth the cost of the ferry and a hotel stay if necessary if you're from the mainland. Carpool with other guys, make some friends, and find a way to make it happen. The opportunity to shoot your service rifle past 100m is so rare, it's like the instruction and a match walk-through is almost thrown in for free. Military range time comes at a premium and as civilians, we just don't get to shoot ARs past 100. Even the best shooters in the world will gain valuable trigger time on a true gallery range, which is a treat. People mark your targets for you, FFS! All you have to do is concentrate on perfect shots.
