Umarex USA will have airguns and airsoft guns available for anyone who would like to try this exciting new air-powered sport. “Airgun-Steels and Airgun 3-Gun is a new sport created for family and friends to economically enjoy the sport of shooting.” said Justin “JB” Biddle, Director of Marketing for Umarex USA. “We’re proud to be a sponsor of International Air Shooting Sports and ecstatic that Chaffee Crossing has worked with us to provide a venue to hold the match.”
The event is sanctioned by the International Air Shooting Sports program. IASS is a youth and adult development program that teaches safe handling of pistols, semi-auto rifles and shotguns while at the same time developing positive life skills through a supportive environment taught by trained adult coaches.
