We will be hosting another double elimination dueling tree competition!
A portion of the proceeds of this match will be donated to the local Friends of the NRA.
The tree will be at 10 yards and shooters will go head to head on the tree. Last man standing after a duel elimination bracket will take home a free S&W M&P 9!
The runner up will receive a free one month trial membership, which is 30 days of free range time.
To enter you must have, or rent, a handgun in a standard handgun caliber (no rifle cartridges, velocity limited to 1600fps). We recommend a minimum caliber of 9mm and when shooting 9mm we have found that heavier (147gr) ammunition moves the plates more reliably. Full rules below.
