“Shoot For Abbi” Charity Event
Abbi Monaghan is 11 years old and living with Cystinosis, a rare disease for which currently there is no cure. Most money raised for Cystinosis research is done through private efforts such as these.
If you live close to the Niagara area come out and bring the family. Children are encouraged to participate. Don't have a gun? Never shot before? Not a problem. We will have guns and plenty of ammunition.
Concerned about safety? Did you know that shooting is one of the safest sports? As long time shooters, we realize that you might be concerned about bringing your children to an event like this. Safety is our business and we will have many instructors to ensure that everyone has a safe, fun day. There will be prizes including a gun raffle (see YouTube videos), a BBQ and a 50-50 draw.
There is a $20 entry fee, payable at the door (all proceeds go to Cystinosis research). Included in the admission fee: 2 targets, (one practice, one elimination) and a hamburger or hot dog and beverage. Shooters can better their score by purchasing an additional target and 10 rounds of ammunition for $5.00 each. You can also shoot steel for fun ($2 for 10 rounds).
For those bringing their own rifles, this is a 22LR rifle match, fired from the prone position. Adults and children will have separate sections. Any firearm action is permitted that requires the shooter to take their finger off the trigger to chamber another round (i.e. Bolt, Lever etc.). NO SEMI AUTOS.
Last year we raised over $6000 at this event and hope to do even better this year. Donations and sponsorships are gratefully accepted. Please contact me if you are interested in donating.
You are invited to "Shoot for Abbi".
