Here's what some of last year's shooters had to say:

"Organized and on time!"
"Good friendly competition."
"This was my first experience of this kind. I can't wait to do more!!"
"This was good practical shooting experience."
"Relaxed atmosphere and no pressure."
"The instructors are GREAT!"
"I learned so much and my confidence level went way up!"
"YOU GUYS ROCK!!"
"Great event, fun and laid back. Everyone was so accommodating."
"Very woman friendly, nice club and location!"
"After a lunch like that, I needed a nap."

Bring your handgun, 200 rounds of ammo ... and get ready to shoot, shoot, shoot!

If you've attended our famous Buckeye Blast, you'll have an idea how much fun the Gun Skills Challenge will be. The difference is that we've designed this special event to be more relaxed with more opportunity for shooting tips from experienced shooters.

With smaller groups and fast-moving exercises, you'll have plenty of range time to put lots of lead downrange! Plus, because the club is compact, you'll spend less time walking and more time shooting!

You'll have a chance to polish your basic gun handling skills and go through IDPA-style scenario shoots simulating real-life self-defense situations. We plan to have optional activities while you wait to shoot so there's less "standing around" time.

No scoring. No pressure. It's a friendly, fun shoot. Whether you're a skilled shooter or a novice, the exercises and scenarios will give you a full day of skill-building experience. (If you want more of a challenge, you can ask the range officers to score your targets.)

BONUS: If you DO want a little competition, you can enter the 2010 Buckeye Firearms Foundation Trophy Shoot. For a donation, you can compete against fellow shooters for fastest stage time. We'll award a trophy for fastest man and another for fastest women.
