A trip to the automated ranges in Edmonton. As always, a trip to the range would not be complete without some instance of bad weather. Typical "Background Activity" takes place at left, reviewing Immediate Actions. Sergeant Gaudet, at right, the Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant, shows off his Air Force Gloves.

A mixture of clothing visible, including Olive Drab holdovers such as the windpants on the second rifleman and the Goretex Combat Coat at right. |

Lance Corporal Beatty, on loan from the British Army, wearing his best DPM field kit, at the firing point. Electronic pad at left is a target indicator - sensors detect where the bullets are striking the targets. There are no Butts on the range. |
