DESCRIPTION
The Hero Down Shootout Challenge is back! The 2024 team shootout challenge is a 2-day team event designed to bring the shooting industry, first responder, military, and veteran community together to fundraise in direct support of those who have who’ve held the line for community and country. Through team building, camaraderie, and competition, this event helps support our wounded, our fallen, and their families.
The two-day shootout event combines a series of speed, skill, and teamwork in a fun and competitive environment. This event brings together a great community of people and industry partners for a great cause.
This year’s event will focus on fundraising for The Boston Police Relief Association, a non-profit charity that provides emergency relief to officers and their families in the time of need due to a catastrophic event, illness or death.
The BPRA was founded for the purpose of assisting the families of deceased members of said Association, and the members thereof when sick and disabled, or upon the decease of their spouse, and for the purpose of protecting and promoting the social and economic welfare of said members, their families and dependents.
This year this will be a 2 gun match (Rifle/Pistol) and using a Time Plus scoring system. This match will involve physical stressers. It is not the Tac Games, but come expecting to work hard (movement to fire/physical durress), to get sweaty, to test your abilities and have a good time.
