Come on out to our first shoot in Southern CT at one of CT's finest ranges. We finally nailed down a date at Blue Trail Range in Wallingford - as centrally located as you can get. Full service cafe and gun store on site, plenty of parking, and great facilities. It'll also probably be the last chance to shoot in "civil" weather before we start our Winterseed Tour.

State Laws to be aware of: CT does have an "Assault Weapon" Ban that is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE STRICT than the expired Federal AWB. For example, rifles are banned by name and include the "Colt AR-15" and "AK-47", among others. Semiautomatic rifles are also banned by features. However, there is no magazine capacity restriction. Please be careful with this. For a complete list of banned-by-name rifles and feature restrictions, you may check CT laws here: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2005/pub/Chap943.htm#Sec53-202a.htm.
Misc: This will be a rimfire only event. Full-service cafe on site. Gun store with ammo, accessories and firearms on site.
