You'll be guided by USAMU Soldiers and range officers to ensure a safe and thrilling experience.

But that's not all! Dive into the excitement with paintball, axe throwing, and a visit to the RSC Pro Shop.  Test your skills at the archery range!  Plus, several vendors will be on-site offering fun activities and educational insights into hunting, fishing, trapping, and more. 

This event is open to all ages! Kids aged 6 and up can shoot on the range but must be accompanied by an adult.

And there's even more to look forward to!  Visit every station at the RSC and get your Family Sportsman’s Day Passport stamped for a chance to win fantastic door prizes!
