Getting fired up for another Fall weekend event. Last year was great with many attendees and beautiful weather. For those unfamiliar with us, we are located just outside of Asheville, NC in a scenic mountain setting. We have one of the best and most challenging woodswalk courses in the state. We offer on-site camping and a full weekend of shooting fun. Come one day or join us for the whole weekend. Early arrival on Thursday is allowed for set-up. I hope to see some new faces this year, come and join us. more info at www.frenchbroadrifles.com

We just spent Saturday preparing the range and woodswalk for this event. We are ready to go! I have yet to be able to break the tech problems on our website, but the information regarding the shoot is correct, just not the dates.
