I know this it out of range for most of y'all, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Dallas Action Pistol Shooters is hosting a benefit match for the family of Lt. Robby Welch (see below for details).
$20 match donation, plus range fee (also being generously donated). Any and all donations accepted - any amount is welcome.

We realize that not everyone can shoot, or will want to shoot. But we're certain everyone will want to help the family of a fallen hero. See the Dallas Action Pistol Shooter website (the link above). There's a link to donations. You may also mail checks or money orders to:
