A lot of times our theme has been based on battles or different historical characters. |
There are no clip-fed or semi-automatic guns here. All of the guns are pre-1900 in design. |
There are other shooting matches open to the public. |

We shoot out here at the (Rowan County Wildlife Association) range the first Thursday of every month, rain or shine. |
