New Event:  Multi Gun Practice
May 12 & June 9    6-9 pm
Starting in April we will be hosting a “Multi Gun Practice” for anyone who is interested n learning more about Multi Gun Matches.
Two-gun practices will replicate practical, action-shooting competitions, but at a simpler level.
Two-gun practices will require participants to navigate an obstacle-filled course while engaging targets with both a rifle (typically an AR-platform) and a handgun.
These practices emphasize movement, shooting from varied positions (standing, prone, around barricades), and smooth transitions between firearms. .
