We are proud to announce that the ASC is the host club for “Americas Victory Shoot” – a two-day instructional event celebrating the Supreme Court decision in the McDonald vs. City of Chicago case, essentially ending the handgun ban in the city. The event takes place October 16th and 17th at the club and includes:
- How to rapidly draw from a holster
- Grip and stance
- Elements of defensive marksmanship
- Proper and effective shot placement
- Situational awareness
- How to clear malfunctions
- Various reloads
- Proper mindset
- Lots of shooting exercises
- Exercises and techniques to dramatically improve at home without ammo!
There will also be a vendor area with many exhibitors, interactive discussions and the opportunity to win gear, products and services from participating sponsors. For those of you who have seen the show “Top Shot” on the History Channel, Bill Carns and some of the other contestants from the show will be in attendance (more on that to come). More information and registration is available at www.VictoryShoot.org
Muzzleloading Range Rules
- All general range safety rules will be followed at all times!
- No smoking while loading, on the firing line or loading bench area, or places where black powder is stored.
- Do not use smokeless powders. Use only black powder or black powder substitute.
- Do not load your firearm until you have wiped the barrel of excess oil and grease.
- Do not overload your firearm.
- Do not load your firearm directly from a flask or powder horn.
- Do not cap a percussion or prime a flintlock until you are on the firing line.
- Do not carry a muzzle loader with the hammer at full cock.
- Make sure your muzzle loading firearm is safe to shoot. If you have any doubt take it to a qualified gunsmith.
- Seat the load directly on the black powder in the breech of the barrel. Shooting an improperly loaded firearm, risks almost certain damage to yourself and others around you and your firearm.
- Hearing and eye protection are required.
