    It's Back!

    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.

    All participants will have unloaded firearms at all times unless they are on the firing line and have been given the command to “load and make ready”

    Prior to beginning the match staff will call “line ready”

    If a participant is not ready when “line ready” is called it is the responsibility of the participant to safely make the staff aware that they need additional time

    Staff will give the command “fire” to begin the match

    There are no alibis, if the participant experiences a malfunction they can either clear it safely and continue or concede the match

    The match is concluded when one side of the dueling tree is completely cleared or both shooters are out of ammunition

    The match is over when it is called by staff

    Staff will call either “winner left” or “winner right” to designate the end of the match

    There will be no appeals, the staff member officiating the match has final say regarding the outcome

    Winner at the conclusion of the double elimination tournament will receive a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 at no cost provided they can legally purchase a handgun under applicable state and federal law

    If the winning participant cannot purchase the handgun for any reason they forfeit any right to winnings

    All participants accept that shooting steel targets are close range poses an enhanced risk of bullet fragments ricocheting and contacting anyone in the shooting bay

    Eye and ear protection is required at all times during the competition for anyone in the shooting bay
