Come and participate or just watch and see what all the fuss about action shooting sports is.

Safe, Fun, and the only person you compete against is yourself.
Sportsmen's Club - Galt
Cambridge, ON
May Two-Four!

So says the grim reaper of CoF.... :)
 
I'll probably come and check it out,do you have to pay to watch?

I would surely hope not. I would have been broke from the years I watched it before I started into it.

The match will be at the handgun/restricted range straight up and over the hill (passing the Indoor range on the right).

Please come out and remember to bring standard safety equipment.
Eyes and Ears everyone!
 
I'll most likely be the one in a CGN Hat. If the weather is decent a CGN Shirt as well... (If not too cold/windy to be w/o a jacket/vest)
Depending on our staffing I may also be acting Match Director as well.

Not to all participants, concealment garb is required... I knew I forgot something in the notice.
 
Tonight is the setup... I hope that you all come out tomorrow and watch if not participate. It's looking to be a great day for holding an event!

Bring your gear. Bring your game face. Bring your support group.
Play safe and have fun!
 
Well... Here is the CoF as originally conceptualized.

There were a few alterations to the CoF/Scoring to make it simpler to score as well as more challenging and a simpler running CoF. Such as manditory use of cover in Stage 3.

Great weather, great people who participated. I was hoping for a few more people to show (I blame myself for not using all channels of communication for the match.) Some images to follow.

I thank all who came out and participated as well as the volunteers who helped setup and run the match.

And as promised, some photos.

Stage one from an angle. Door opening activated the mover. My "Bugs Bunny" mechanical pulley system (rope thru 4 eyelets connecting the door to the mover's knock down plate) worked every time and very well. :p

Carrying your supplies in the weak hand, shooting on the move. Could only dream of a place that would sell beer and reloading supplies here in Canada.

Second Stage. Slightly modified to allow the shooter to start either left or right side. The southpaws really liked that option.

"Damnit!... Where did that live round go". @ the start of Stage 2.

Shooting around the edge while using cover! Note the brass in mid flight. Congrats to this competitor for awesome accuracy over the event.

Trying not to hit the center No-Shoots. Seemed to be the stage which competitors had the most difficulty with shoot thrus.

Some people liked to shoot from a bit farther away from the barriers.

Stage three. Modified to enforce cover usage at the start point. Long distance shots were increased to 15 yards and hard cover indications were applied on several targets.

Hiding behind a barrel really well.

Primary RSO keeping up to watch for gun handling infractions.

Nothing like a close range hard angle target.

The final target. Some people hit the no-shoot a few yards back on shoot thrus.

As you can see. Beautiful weather. I got lots of shots with flying brass and got to try out my new 55-200mm lens (Thank you for the recommendations CILA-1. It is awesome). I was usually about 25-30 yards away taking the images. Lots of sun (My burnt forearms prove it) and a lot of fun. Whee... 27 shoot targets and a total points down of 8 using my GP-100 so I was very very happy with my performance. Mind you I rattled thru quite a few speed loaders every stage and wasted a ton of time doing it. :)
 
Looks like a good day.

I am sorry that I missed it but had to work at the airport friday night. Was considering stopping in on my way home at 0830 hrs but my pillow was calling me and I could not ignore it.
