USPSA – Roanoke Rifle and Revolver Club

Click Here for details

Match starts promptly at 10 a.m. and is usually wrapped up at from 12 to 1.
I’ll be leaving my house in the timberlake area around 8 a.m.

If you would like to shoot this match the cost is $15 + Share Gas.

You’ll need around 150 to 180 rounds of ammo.

You don’t need to have previously shot any competitions.
USPSA is a lot like golf in that you are really only playing against yourself.

Gas prices are soaring and Americans have been left holding the bill for government failures like Solyndra and Solar Trust. It’s time you and I send a clear message to the White House: it’s time to Stop Tanking America by playing politics as usual with our futures.

Will you make your voice heard today? Join Americans for Prosperity and other activists as we make our voices heard in Virginia at three “Stop Tanking America” events.

The President promised to fight for hardworking Americans, but instead, he’s stood in the way of projects that would create thousands of American jobs and reduce energy costs. Even worse, his administration has handed out special favors and subsidies to “green” energy companies like Solyndra and Solar Trust.

Now is our time to send a message to Washington, and we’re counting on you to make our message stronger. Join us at one or more events on May 9, 10 or 11, or sign our petition to the President today.
