Note about Episode 22 – CQB

During The International Liberty or Death Podcast episode 59 Tyler mentioned that he didn’t have the time to add another shooting league. To be clear if he wants to shoot CQB at CFB Borden with the Ontario Rifle Association he does not need to become a member. There is a guest fee for non-members. If you have a free Saturday it’s totally worth the trip.

What are we drinking?

Gavin – Piston Head Lager

Tyler – Bush

Andrew – Leffe Brune
