About MAC Range Day

Join us for the Military Affairs Range Day as we commemorate the 32nd Anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu and have a little fun shooting at the Range Complex in Autryville!

The Range Day Agenda includes a ceremony with guest speakers from the Battle of Mogadishu, an event later retold in the Hollywood movie Black Hawk Down.

The event will end at 3 p.m.

And whether you are a novice or a sharp shooter, there is a bay for you as we open up the range to shooting. Pre-registration is required and wrist bands will be issued in order to shoot. Bring your ammo as well! We encourage you to purchase your ammo from a local Chamber member!

Food will be available for purchase from Red, White and Blue BBQ. Informational tables and vendors will be on site.

Event tickets are $75 which includes a t-shirt, eye/ear protection and shooting privileges. 

The event is free for spectators who are encouraged to come out to observe and have lunch with us. No one under 18 is permitted on the Range Complex grounds. Every attendee will need to sign the two waivers on the MAC Range Day event page.

Proceeds will be given to the Armed Services YMCA.
