Today is our Shoot-O-Ree at the Blue Ridge Council office, 1 Park Plaza, Greenville. Due to the heat advisory going into effect at 11am, we are going to end the event at that time. We apologize for making this change but the safety of our participants and especially our instructors who will be on the ranges the entire time, is our primary concern.

Please remember to bring a waterbottle and hat.
