Questions
Do I need shooting experience?
No. Saturday is built for instruction at every level. If you have never fired a rifle, you will have a Green Beret or SEAL beside you when you do. Experienced shooters will be pushed.
Do I need my own firearm or ammunition?
No. Firearms and ammunition are provided at every live-fire station and airsoft is provided in the shoot house. Personal firearms are not permitted unless cleared in writing by the lead instructor before the event.
What do I need to bring?
Eye protection, ear protection, closed-toe boots, layers for October weather, and a hat. Eye and ear protection are required on every line.
Is CQB live fire?
No. The shoot house is airsoft only, with no force on force. You clear rooms as a four-person team against targets, not people.
Where exactly is the range?
A private property about one hour south of Atlanta. The address and directions go to registered shooters the week of the event.
What is the safety setup?
Professional instructors, dedicated range officers on every live-fire line, a paramedic on site both days, a safety brief every morning, and a signed waiver at registration. Any safety violation is an immediate removal from the event. No alcohol on the range.
Is my entry tax deductible?
Entries include goods and services. Your receipt will show the fair market value of what you received, and only the amount above it is deductible. Consult your tax advisor.
Can I get a refund?
No. All entries are final and non-refundable. Entries are transferable to another shooter until October 19.
What if it rains?
Rain or shine. We shoot in the rain. Lightning holds the range for 30 minutes after the last thunder. A weather call goes out to registered shooters by Wednesday, October 21.
Registration closes Monday, October 19.
