It’s a whole lot of fun. It is great to hear the history of our country, and I couldn’t believe how much better my marksmanship improved over the two days. It’s a very family friendly event. You should definitely take your son. Women, anyone under 21, and Active Duty Military, Guard, or Reserve shoot free.

I didn't have the opportunity to shoot this one, but I hope to take advantage of the next.

... you bet, and GREAT HISTORY plus excellant instruction and the crew of Scouts I took all shot for free. Take a Ruger .22 with extra circular mags in order to best perform on the shooting tests. My knees also wished I’d had a thick shooting mat for the constant drops to prone!!! I needed to practice my “flexibility” for seated/kneeling as well as getting up to standing without covering half the line?! Great way to spend a week end, take the whole family, but just do it!
