AIM will be attending as match sponsors at:
2011 Summer Slam VI. August 20-21.
Last year’s Summer Slam was so much fun that I decided to brave
the 15 hour drive and do it again this year. Those of us from
Ontario couldn’t believe the stuff the guys out there had set up for
us to shoot and from what I hear this year’s match is going to be
equally interesting. I can’t wait. Those NB guys are truly insane!
Aim will be sponsoring so if you need anything give us a call at the
shop and let us know. Pre-orders get a $3.00/box discount on all
calibers. |

Toronto Police Shooting team workshop –
August 6th, 2011
The Toronto Police Shooting Team
workshop wrapped up day 2 this past weekend. There were a couple of
new participants this time out but for some reason I completely
forgot to get a group photo (I’m going to blame it on the humidity).
Hopefully I can get some pix from one of the guys soon and post them
here.
After
spending the first half of the day grinding out the movement and
preservation of momentum drills, we spent the second half doing the
fun stuff…..shooting stages! We had set up two courses of fire that
incorporated a little of just about everything, including swingers,
a drop-turner, and plenty of steel. Everyone got a chance to put the
lessons to a practical test. To measure improvement we recorded hit
factors over several runs and we tracked a significant improvement
across the board as each member of the group put the pieces of the
puzzle together. Again, this was a VERY focused group; able to
assimilate new ideas and adapt them very quickly and effectively
into an existing skill-set. . I’m looking forward to hearing how
much butt they kicked at the World Police Games, coming up at the
end of this month.
Many thanks to the TPS shooting team for
seeking us out for additional training. It was a pleasure to work
with them and I hope to do so again. |

2011 Canadian National Championships. July
27-31.
Held again at FRPC in Kingston, the Nationals
this year drew competitors from the US, Czech Republic, and Italy.
Maybe the word is getting out that Canadian matches are worth
putting up with the hassles of ten round magazines….?
This was an interesting
match. On the surface all the stages looked pretty simple but in
fact there was quite a lot of technical shooting required. Even the
stages that looked like easy hose-fests turned out to have subtle
little treacheries and speed-limiters built in, with just enough
hard cover partial targets, no-shoots and vision barriers
thoughtfully placed to keep competitors on their toes. Stage 2
(See
Link)
was a real brain twister for many of us and thus, one of my favorites. With four poppers and two swingers activated by a single
popper, there was a high danger factor built in to this stage that
forced competitors to seriously evaluate their known skill set
before choosing a solution. I couldn’t decide whether to take the
safe approach or try for all the marbles right up until I was on
deck to shoot. A lot of the Open guys opted for the right to left
steel engagement which theoretically presented both swingers at the
apex of their arcs for a single pass engagement. But you had to be
quick and if you missed one of the steel after hitting the activator
you ended up out of sequence and had to wait two seconds for the
swinger to reappear. I finally decided to go for the gusto but got a
little tense thinking about it and didn’t quite pull it off; missed
the inside popper on the left and ended up eating the two second
penalty. Another lesson to re-learn….(sigh). Great stage though, and
watching Chris Tilley (U.S.) shoot it was awe inspiring.
The
match staff showed their mettle once again when Saturday brought a
monster, three hour deluge in the middle of the day that flooded
most of the ranges. It looked like we were going to have to suspend
shooting for the day and try to make it up on Sunday, but when the
rain tapered the match staff threw their backs into it, drained what
needed draining and somehow got all the squads finished within an
hour of the posted schedule!
Again, Aim would like to thank
the Match committee for welcoming us as sponsors for the Nationals.
Next year in Brandon…. |

2011 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL IPSC CHAMPIONSHIP NOW HISTORY
- Kingston Ontario. June 22-26 2011
Aim
Projectiles would like to thank the match committee and staff of the
2011 IPSC Ontario Championships for having us again this year as
match sponsors. Having the chance to present our new wares and to
reconnect with members of the huge family-like community that is
IPSC after a too long winter was just what the doctor ordered. Kudos
to everyone for their dedication and hard work in setting up a
fabulous match for all of us to enjoy with minimal effort on our
part. Even the crazy weather on Sunday didn’t derail things and the
match just kept ticking along on schedule.
Thanks also to the
members of our Canadian forces who came out to assist on the ranges
with patching and stage re-set. |
