Dueling Tree and Wall of Guns for Charity - 11-10-2017

[AppliedB]

This coming Friday Applied Ballistics will be hosting another Dueling Tree for charity as well as an FNRA Wall of Guns drawing!

The dueling tree competition will be similar to those in the past (look for the rules in another post below) with the entry fee being $15 for early registration (by phone or in person at the store) and $20 at the store the day of the competition. The winner will have their choice of a Ruger 10/22 or a case (1000 rounds) of Midwest Ammunition 115gr 9mm! (must be 18 to receive the 10/22 and able to pass a background check, must be 21 to receive the 9mm ammunition). The runner up will receive a free one month membership to Applied Ballistcs! That's free range time through the 9th of December!

A portion of the proceeds of the dueling tree will be donated to the local Friends of the NRA.

The same day we will be hosting the FNRA on site for a Wall of Guns Raffle! Tickets for the raffle are $20 and a gun will be given away for every 50 tickets sold. If not enough tickets are sold for an additional drawing the remaining tickets will still be drawn and the winner will receive 50% of the ticket proceeds (standard 50/50). For example if we sell 230 tickets we will draw for four gun giveaways and the last 30 tickets sold will be drawn for a 50/50 where the winner will receive $300 cash or in store credit.

Also of interest, if you win a drawing for a gun but don't want any of the guns being given away, you may apply $500 toward the purchase of any other firearm in the store!

But wait, there's more. Through this Tuesday customers will receive a free ticket into our in store drawing for every $25 spent. This drawing will be for a free entry into the Wall of Guns, or a free entry into the dueling tree competition, or a variety of other prizes like range time, ammo, shirts, hats, etc. If you buy a $500 gun, you are entered 20 times!

So come out and compete or buy raffle tickets for a great cause and the chance to win a variety of guns and other great prizes!

• Dueling Tree Info
  
  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 Ruger 10/22 or a 1000 round case of 9mm 115gr ammo!
  
  The runner up will receive a free one month trial membership, which is one month 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.
