NEW 45ACP Ammunition from Winchester

Winchester has announced WIN 1911

This is two different projectiles loaded exactly the same so that POI is POA if you are shooting FMJ practice ammunition or JHP defensive rounds.

This allows you to basically practice with what you carry, without the high cost.

Ruger introduces Match Champion revolver at SHOT Show

Ruger had a very interesting offering at the range on Monday.

The Match Champion has fixed sights and a very comfortable set of Hogue produced grips.

The revolver kept nice groups at short range and rang the steel gongs at the longer distances.

Media Day at the Range

The facility at Boulder City is really big and impressive.

There are lots of short range pits, long range pits, trap and skeet areas plus tactical areas. Weather permitting we always have a good timeout there.

Even with 1000 members of the press, the range RSOs and the manufacturer’s staff the place does not look that crowded.
