CHS Night Shoot & Demo Event - Kamloops - April 20

We are pleased to partner with Kamloops Target Sports Association for an NVG/Thermal instructional demo and IPSC/USPSA-style night shoot on April 20, 2024. The event is in 2 parts:

  • An open exhibition/demo at the KTSA Indoor Range from 1pm to 5pm (no live fire). No signups necessary and not a pre-requisite for the live-fire night portion. This is for individuals who cannot make the evening event but are curious about night vision and thermal devices.
  • A live-fire night shoot featuring one or more IPSC/USPSA-style stages, and one static shooting line, and an opportunity to demo and use NVGs and thermals in a competitive and friendly timed shoot. This is not a formal match and is not ranked.
