Want to shoot pistols, rifles, shotguns and more?
Then Aim for the AGFD Outdoor Expo this weekend.
PHOENIX – -(AmmoLand.com)- Want the opportunity to shoot the new high-powered .416 Alaskan Rifle just made for taking down a grizzly bear or other large game animal, but is engineered to be lighter and shorter than magnums?
Or maybe you are interested in the other extreme – Ruger’s rugged new generation of small lightweight pistols built on aircraft-quality aluminum frames, which can readily fit into fanny packs or purses?
Take the opportunity to shoot guns, guns and more guns from the three major firearms manufacturers participating in the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Outdoor Expo at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility on the northern edge of Phoenix from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29.
You can test fire different firearms from Sturm, Ruger & Co., GLOCK, and Smith & Wesson in a safe, supervised shooting range setting during the expo. But the shooting excitement doesn’t stop there.
Bring your youngsters along because they can also shoot .22s and air guns while learning more about firearm safety.
Interested in shooting black powder firearms or trying your hand at cowboy action shooting? Then come on out to the nation’s largest public shooting complex, which will be jam-packed with fun and interesting things to do. You can:
