Set Up & Tear Down
Action pistol matches require labor intensive set up and tear down. Set up is often done on the day prior to the event. Please contact the match director if you are able to help with set up and please help break stages down after the match. By working together, we can maintain safe, fun, and manageable matches for our members and guests to enjoy.
