With Independence Day tomorrow I wanted to share an awesome short documentary on Washington's immortal 400. It's about 20 minutes long and worth the watch. I love history, we can't forget why and how we got here.

My brother in-law bought the new Shield X and I was able to shoot it at the practice range day last Saturday.

It's a little bigger than the shield plus and comes with a 15 round mag. Definitely a good new carry option.

🚩Don't forget we have a steel challenge shoot this Saturday. If you haven't shot a match before you should definitely try this. Steel Challenge is how I got my wife into shooting matches. And it's still fun if your experienced.
$20 for adults and $5 for kids.

5 stages with a 75 round count. A bonus optional 6th stage at the end with a 25 round count if you shoot it clean.

You can bring pistol, PCC, or shotgun. .22lr and centerfire is welcome.

I pulled the 6.5 Creedmoor out of the stock and gave it a thorough cleaning. I placed pretty bad at the Rayners 22lr match but I had a blast and have the long range bug. So its time to clean the rifles up and load some ammo.

🚩🚩🚩We have a couple events of our own coming up. This Saturday June 13th 11am-4pm we have a practice day, if you want to come down and shoot some steel with us. $10 to shoot.

Saturday June 20th 11am we have an outlaw Steel Challenge shoot. You can bring pistol, PCC and shotgun and 22lr. Basically anything except for highpowered rifles as we will be shooting steel up close. $20 for adults and $5 for kids. Reshoots with an additional gun is $5🚩🚩🚩
