As from next week MAAC will set up 2 qualifier stages at VSR for the convenience of those members and non members who wish to start practicing the qualification stages. The APDS qualifier stage and desorption will be posted in this web site tomorrow ( 1st December 2008) so that each and every member can start working on the required drills to pass the qualifier. In the mean time you can already download the complete APDS rule book.
For the time being the qualifiers will be shot on steel targets then around end of January 2009 we will start with our first qualifier test, followed by training stages for one to start practicing and getting familiar to the game. Later, on the 21st June 2009 we will have our 1st APDS competitive event. Thus if you start now, by June you will have gained substential knowlage about APDS.
NOTE : Before an member or non member can participate in APDS competitions or training stages he/she must pass the qualifier stage.

For the time being concentrate on the qualifier training. If any member or non member wishes more information please do not hesitate to contact me directly or other members of MAAC. I would like also to thank Mr. Steve Farrugia for his input and excellent demonstration of the APDS qualifiers a VSR today. I would also like to thank Mr. Mark Cassar for his input to APDS who unfortunately due to Range Officer duty at Safi for AACTS today could not attend.
