Video: 3 Ingredients for the Perfect Halloween

What are they?

We asked ourselves the same thing for a while, until last week we finally found our answer, and then it seemed really obvious.

  1. Superheroes
  2. Guns
  3. Exploding Pumpkins

So last week we hosted folks from the Com-Link community in the first ever “Pumpkin Shoot”, at our Sniper Country range in Northern Utah. Shooters had 3 rounds to engage targets at different distances, racking up points based on how far the targets were.

Oh and one other thing–everyone was dressed as superheroes. That’s right, among us we had:

  • Batman
  • Spiderman
  • Iron Man
  • Captain America
  • and…Nacho Libre… (still in superhero training)

It definitely made for some laughs, and was a great way to enjoy some fall air and pay homage to the all-benevolent pumpkin. Take a look:

Of course no shooting trip is complete without a little tannerite:

And by far, the best part of all was that the losing superhero had to reveal his “true identity” (a.k.a. wear a sparkly fairy costume all over town for the rest of the day):

In short–fun shooting, great group of guys, and laughs until our sides hurt. Definitely a repeater.

Happy Halloween, and see you at the next event!

    The Sniper Rifle That Rewrote History

    The SRS Rifles innovation was game changing. It solved all of the problems I hated about conventional rifles and US SOCOM took notice. They immediately rewrote their sniper rifle requirements, and all of the other companies were left behind. These are the problems we faced and how we solved them.
