The kids grand prize is a Ruger 10/22. There may be more guns to come we will have to see. We will have drawings throughout the day for prizes from our store, Springfield Armory, Glock, and Taurus.

Sounds like fun to me. As long as those pesky bowling pins aren't there.

Our targets have a deck of playing cards on them and we will tell you what hand to shoot

Can you give us a little run down on how this shoot works?

+1. I got the distance, but that's about it. what will we be shooting at? Will it be timed? Static or moving targets? Is there any movement involved or will it be stand and shoot?

I believe it's basically like this. A large stationary target with a deck of cards printed on it is set up. You are given a poker hand, such as a straight, a pair, flush, etc. You then proceed to shoot at the "cards" that make up the hand. Some one can correct me if I'm wrong.

You are right.

It's a lot of fun. I went last year and had a great time.
Didn't win a damn thing...but it was nice to see how the other half lives.

Sorry you didn't win. Hopefully you will take something home this year, we have alot of stuff from Springfirled, Taurus and Glock.

The match is timed and is just as stated a target with a deck of cards on it and we will tell you the hand to shoot, distance is 21 feet, use any handgun you want as long as it has iron sights. Everyone will start from ready gun. The fastest time for the day wins. We will shoot at least 3 strings and average the strings together.

We are looking for a larger crowd this year and more fun then ever. We have a new concession stand at the range and are working with a local radio station for a live remote. So, there will be music, ALOT of prizes and many laughs.

Don't everyone get top caught up on the competition part, this is a fun time to raise money for the NRA, we just are gonna give prizes to the winners.

Remember, BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIRS!!
