9:00 am	Vanilla Gorilla Security - CQC 1 Fundamentals VGS will be hosting our close quarters clearance (CQC) 1 fundamentals class at the Aurora Sportsman’s Club June 24th from 9am-3pm. CQC is often associated with military and law enforcement training but is just as applicable for civilians who want to learn how to defend themselves or their families from a home invasion. In CQC 1 students will learn the fundamental elements of moving tactically in and around rooms and spaces that contain an active threat from SEALs who have experienced it in combat. This instruction will involve an in depth classroom portion with power power point slides and videos. VGS instructors will give examples of real world combat missions that changed the CQC tactics that the SEAL teams formerly used to what they use today and how these tactics translate over to civilians defending themselves in their homes. After the classroom portion students will apply these these tactics individually performing 1 person clearance and then 2 person clearance. During the practicals students will use UTM paint ammunition and will be given various scenarios to clear rooms that contain paper targets.

10:00 am	CANCELLED - 600 Yard Qualification CANCELLED Local Contact Ed Janka This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 630-272-3187 10:00-12:00 Open to members only. Call Ed Janka 630-272-3187 for any questions. The member will be asked these questions: - What caliber are you shooting? - What does your ballistic table show the bullet drop at 600 yards? - Based on the bullet drop, how many Minutes of Angle (MOA) is that equal to? - Based on the calculated MOA, how many clicks or Mil Dots were adjusted on your Scope/Sights for this MOA? - All of the above information may be located on your phone, tablet, and notebook or printed out. The important factor is that the shooter fully understands the calculations for bullet drop out to 600 yards. If the information is not correctly answered, the member may not shoot to qualify. Having satisfactorily proven the member knows long-range shooting data, they will be allowed to shoot 3-5 shots at a target set out at 600 yards. Their rounds must impact on or at least near (3-5 feet) the target in the SAFE area on the 9’ smaller berm. Impacts on the 50’ large berm are not safe. The shooter will be allowed to check the scope setting, make an adjustment, and shoot again. If the round impacts on the 50’ unsafe area again, they DO NOT qualify. Shooters, who have safely completed the shooting test, will be issued a 600 Yard Certification Stickers to be placed on their badge, until such time as a new badge is issued. Non-Members will be given a business card with the sticker attached as proof of Certification for any future long-range events. 221221 jas
