POSTPONED - 10/15/2024

The Veterans Day Gold Star Shooting Competition is an annual event that honors the bravery and sacrifice of U.S. military members and their families. Centered around Veterans Day, this competition is a tribute to those who have served and paid the ultimate price for freedom, symbolized by the Gold Star representing a service member who has died in the line of duty.

The competition aims to remember fallen soldiers, support their families, and strengthen the bond among veterans and active military personnel. All stages of the event will be completed using .22 LR rifles, and participants of all skill levels, from seasoned veterans and active-duty members to Gold Star families, will be welcomed. The event emphasizes safety, fairness, and the military values of precision, patience, and discipline.

Beyond the competitive shooting, the day is filled with ceremonies and moments of reflection to honor the fallen and recognize Gold Star families' sacrifices. It also includes fundraising activities, with proceeds supporting veterans' charities and scholarships for Gold Star family members, reinforcing the community's commitment to remember and support those affected by loss.

The Veterans Day Gold Star Shooting Competition not only provides a platform for friendly competition but also serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of freedom and the importance of supporting our veterans and their families. It's a celebration of their spirit, a commitment to remember their sacrifices, and a testament to the enduring bonds of military service.
