WOW! What an incredible facility! Looks like a great event. Thanks for the photos.
Oh, it is a great place to hold clinics. I am most pleased to have it back on the Virginia schedule again. Covid and other issues shut it down for a while.
Many thanks to everyone who organized this. I learned alot about pistol foundations, and I found the defensive mindset portion particularly enlightening.
