Every year we promote this charity shoot and we hope you will all join us! It is a very cool opportunity to get a bunch of Californians to meet at Front Sight for 4 days to shoot together.
Yes, the event raises money to fight leukemia/lymphoma, and that is important. But the real value is the fun, the training, and the camaraderie! There is nothing like being on a range with 200+ fellow Californians!
This is a very inexpensive adventure. Ask us if you have any questions.
This month, for the very first time ever, San Diego County Gun Owners hosted an online auction! We featured some really great items, including several firearms, training, memberships, and ammo!
We couldn’t have done it without all of your help and support!
A big thank you to the following donors who made our event possible:
Blog: Gunsite Alumni Shoot (GAS) – It’s a Family Affair
As a gun owner and writer I’ve always emphasized two things: guns are more fun if you actually shoot them and every gun owner should train regularly. This past October I combined those two ideas by taking a five day intermediate pistol class at Gunsite Academy in Paulden AZ. and staying for the GAS match on day six.
