Spring ARPC Range Day

[PiratePast40]

Albany Rifle and Pistol Club Range Day April 30th. Link here. Pre-registration required.

For those that haven't been, this is a great time to meet others with similar interest, practice some drills and have some fun competition. The drills are posted in the link and some require you to dig a little deeper to find videos of the drills online. The last competion of the day is the dueling Texas Star. There will be two set up, in an elimination format. The final winner gets the traveling trophy and bragging rights until the next Range Day. I've been to several of these and it's agreat experience and lots of fun, rain or shine.
