Tops Guns, in Terre Haute, is sponsoring a great afternoon event at ProTEQ range, in Brazil, on Sunday, September 23rd.
The event is open to all and there will be demos, shooting competitions with prizes, and other scheduled events. We'll have more specifics as we get closer to the date.
There will be a food vendor on site (again provided by our very own dleak), so bring some money to enjoy some great food and drinks.

3057 W County Rd 1200 N, Brazil, IN 47834

What to do?
ProTEQ Firearms Academy
· NFA items are allowed. Just make sure you are safe and watch the muzzle rise. Safety first!
· There will be a post mounted thrower. So bring your clays and your shotguns!
· We will have a 150 yard rifle range at our disposal. There are several well worn gongs at the extreme end, and a couple target stands if you want to set up targets closer than 150. You can bring your steel targets, spinners, etc as well. Just use them safely. (It wouldnt hurt to bring your own target stands if you dont want to shoot the full 150, just make sure you properly align them so you are impacting the berm and not shooting over it or skipping rounds over it)
· There is a covered pistol range for some handgun fun.
· There is a rimfire bay with lots of steel targets for fun.
· There are several re-active target bays (formerly the CAS bays) with lots of steel targets, which is extremely fun.
Here are the rules we are expected to follow:
General ranges rules are here.
