Tactical Shotgun shoot Sunday

Many people have shotguns in their home (under the bed?) for personal protection. Yet how comfortable are you if you needed to use it within the confines of your home?

This Sunday, February 28, the Gig Harbor Sportsman's Club continues its tactical shotgun shoot that is held regularly every other Sunday. Sign-up begins at noon at the far end of the range just past the rifle/pistol complex, and the shooting starts at 12:30 p.m.

Cost is just $2 per gun, and non-members are also welcome.

Shooters may shoot one or two guns per round, with four rounds of six shells each. Regular bird shot only – 7, 71/2 or 8 shot size. You'll be shooting at a combination of ground poppers, metal plates and stationary clay birds.

This is an non-timed and non-scoring shoot. Different scenarios are presented for you to become familiar with shooting your tactical shotgun while becoming more proficient. But mostly it's fun!

While many of our shooters have 18-20" tactical shotguns, any shotgun is welcome, plus extra shotguns are available to borrow.

If you haven't tried our tactical shotgun shoot, come out this Sunday or any or the scheduled Sundays as indicated on your club calendar.
