Multi-gun class

Dean Deturk, the Match Director at Topton, and a well known multi-gun competitor and I will be teaming up to host an entry level Multi-gun class at our club in York on Sunday, May 31st. Multi-gun can be intimidating because of the sheer amount of equipment you must have and the complicated procedures used to deal with multiple guns safely.

We will spend some time going over the proper gear you will need for these matches including guns and peripheral equipment. We plan on covering a wide array of skills that you must have to safely compete in USPSA or outlaw multi-gun matches. We will teach you how simple, and fun these matches can be if you have some basic knowledge and the proper gear.

This class will be all day, and you will get a full 8 hours of instruction from Dean and I, as well as 2-3 assistants. The cost is $125 per person. Lunch will be included. If you would like to sign up contact Dean Deturk at mxnuts@msn.com

If you do not own a rifle or shotgun suitable for this class you may borrow ours. We would like you to let us know this ahead of time. It makes sense to take this class and use our equipment so you can make more educated purchases, so don't be hesistant to do so.
