Action Rifle League Presents:
The Close Quarter Shooting Series
For the second year British Columbia has its own competitive rifle league!
On Saturday July 4th , Action Rifle League brings a competition in the Close Quarter Shooting Series, to the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club. Action Rifle League has put together a bunch of competitions at various ranges around BC in an effort to get people off the bench and into the exciting world of competitive shooting. Nothing other than basic/safe gun handling skills needed! We use a fine balance of "Big Boy" rules and at the same time have multiple layers of safety in place. 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 rifle. 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 2 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 lunch will be available from some sort of food truck again(not confirmed which one yet but I'll post as soon as I find out).
Mandatory range safety briefing will take place at 09:00 and all participants must attend. DO NOT BE LATE FOR THE BRIEFING! If you don’t attend the briefing, you don’t get to shoot. We have lots of safety issues to run through and squadding to organize.
Match fees are $60.00 for non-members or $50.00 if you are a member of Abbotsford Fish and Game Club.
Please RSVP to actionrifleleague@gmail.com as soon as possible. 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! Just ask anyone who shot the last match!

I have extra rifles if anyone is in need or you want to bring a friend let me know!
 

My two best groups:
I had many issues, not the least of which 3 light primer strikes thanks to my new Timmeny trigger pack in my Tavor. I switched to my AR for the last match, got that fantastic group on the fig14 (almost a smiley face) then grabbed the one dual mag set up that wouldn't seat into the receiver. Lost the rest of the time trying to figure it out. My fault. Should have transitioned, or tried another mag, but that stage is so fast.
Had a lot of fun regardless, and despite the heat. Thanks for making this happen Ryan!

Ya, thanks to everyone who made this happen. It was a really good time and I learned a lot. Well worth the price of admission.
 
Yep, another great CQB shoot! Great bunch of people to shoot and hob-nob with, and thanks again to the Action Rifle crew and our sponsors for a smooth match with some excellent prizes. Kudos to everyone for sticking it out in the sticky weather:). See y'all on September 4th!

Oh, and I blame the weather for my score. Yah, definitely the weather....:p

Must have been the weather cause you left your M & P at home this time. Just sayin', Pete . . .

Hey now, easy. Just because some of us can't wrap our heads around the perfection that is created by the fine folks at Smith and Wesson is no reason to malign other people's obvious superior taste in polymer handguns. Heck, my score could have been worse. Could you imagine if I had brought an H&K? Brrrrrh. The mind boggles.

Actually, towards this I will say that I was running aluminum grips on my Shadow that include...strategically?...placed grip tape, and with uber-sweaty hands it was shifting a little. For the Lone Butte 3gun this weekend I'm swapping them out for my full-on grip tape/sandpaper grips. Although then again, if I switch the grips and the weather up there is as nice as it's supposed to be(26C! Where's my tactical sweater?), I have no idea what I'm going to blame my score on...
