New Events for 2010!

We will offer two new events in our upcoming Shoot, both will be fired on Saturday, June 26th.

for group. More Details You will shoot from a raised platform, and we encourage a shooter-
spotter team. Any Production Iron Sight or Unlimited Iron Sight Handgun may be used. $10.00
entry fee, 50% will be paid back in prize money.

The second is our "Roving Field Course". Any Handgun may be used. More Details
