S&D and Steel Challenge update

September 28, 2022 Newsletters, Skills and Drills, Steel Challenge

We are getting closer to Skills and Drills returning. Hopefully mid October classes could be back, however we won’t have proper bathrooms available for hand washing etc until later in the year, possibly the new year. Once we have a date I will let you all know.

Starting Tuesday October 4th we will be running a 4 week match of all 8 stages of Steel Challenge. See below for more info.

We will be running a Steel Challenge match through the month of October. The goal is to shoot 2 of the official stages each Tuesday night over 4 weeks. You must attend all 4 weeks to qualify for a trophy. Cost is $15 a week ($60), and trophies will be awarded after the match is completed, if we get enough participants we will do Top 3 in each division, possibly more...

Skills and Drills Summer update and Steel Challenge

June 29, 2022 Newsletters, Skills and Drills, Steel Challenge

Summer is officially here, at least calendar wise, the weather on the other hand…

So, S&D is still on hold as the indoor range is still under restoration. I hope we’ll back shooting in there in the fall, maybe Octoberish.

In the meantime, get out to the range and shoot damnit! We have Steel Challenge on Tuesday nights, and this coming Tuesday will see us on Range 3 shooting Outer limits with targets out to 105ft! Yes, steel challenge does shoot far targets. Cost is $5 for members of AFGC and $10 for non members. Setup is at 1830 and if you can’t make that, please stick around for tear down when we are done, usually right at 2200.

Thursday nights, except for when we have a meeting, are IPSC nights and you need to preregister for that https://www.supersaas.com/schedule/Abbotsford/IPSC you mu...

Skills and Drills update, reloading components March 2022

March 14, 2022 Newsletters, Skills and Drills

Things are getting closer and closer for us to open at AFGC, however it’s still awhile off, and the indoor even longer. I don’t expect the indoor will be open for shooting before May, maybe even June. Once the club opens Steel Challenge Tuesdays will be back, and likely soon after IPSC Thursdays, so keep your eyes open for that.

I still have some reloading components available, primers, 124gr HP and Round Nose and 147gr HP and Flat Point. I do not expect to get another order this year, so once this stuff is gone, that’s it, and I don’t expect to see primers hitting store shelves in any great volume either, regardless of brand. If you can find powder that you like, buy it too, as it’s going to be hard to come by this year again.

S&D Reloading update

February 13, 2022 Newsletters, Skills and Drills

Finally my order has arrived after almost a year on back order.

I have available, Ginex/CamPro Small Pistol Primers, 124gr HP and RN, 147gr HP and RNFP, some 38 and some 40 S&W.

Prices have gone up. Primers are now $85 plus tax per 1000. I know, it’s insane. Bullets have gone up a bit too, but not as much, however a large increase in bullets prices is apparently on the horizon due to increases in metal costs. 124gr HP are $114/1000, RN are $112, 147hr HP $126/1000 and RNFP $124/1000

If you are interested please email me rob@activeshooter.ca

Classes are still on hold for the time being due to AFGC being shut down. There may be another option coming available soon, I will let you know. Once the club reopens classes will resume immediately.

Hope everyone is dry firing away like mad, using tho...
