Victory Defense Consulting (which has a “radio show” worth listening to, if you were not aware of it) is hosting the Colorado Freedom Shoot at the end of the month in Briggsdale, CO. Given the recent legislation passed and inanity exhibited by the Colorado state legislature, this may very well be the last high capacity competition ever held in the Centennial State (though the argument could be made it should be called a ‘standard capacity competition', but the distinction would probably be lost upon those politicians).
The Colorado Freedom Shoot will include loot and prizes (including those dreadful high capacity assault magazines) and will introduce the host's new dedicated 1,000+ long range engagement rifle range. There will also be a “Biden Challenge”, which may be the best thing we've heard of yet. In addition to the various competitions, the host range (Pawnee Sportsman Center) and sponsors – including MagPul, White Raven Communications, Executive Security International and others – will have high capacity magazine rentals. Skeet, trap and sporting clays will be available on site.
The competition schedule will include:
Saturday June 29th
Speed Steel Challenge: 5rds/reload/5rds $5/Challenge
