You think that it's only government operations that occur in the dark? Nope, there's a shooting competition that occurs in the dark as well -- The first Starlight 3 Gun Championship -- presented by Timney Triggers – is quickly approaching. NSSF is a sponsor, as is LaserLyte, Taurus International and Emissive Energy Corporation. The event is to take place September 23-26 at the Peacemaker National Training Center in Garradstown, West Virginia, along with the National Rifle Association's World Shooting Championship -- both events occur simultaneously at Peacemaker National. The event will pit the top three-gun shooters from around the country in the only national three-gun competition shot exclusively at night. For information, see the competition website.
