Reno Guns & Range has been approved as an officially recognized local qualifying location for American Marksman — a new concept shooting competition TV show by Outdoor Sportsman Group. Amateur target shooters from the Reno area will have the chance to qualify to earn bids to the Southwest Regional and, ultimately for the American Marksman national championship, where they will compete for a grand prize of $50,000 and the title of the very first American Marksman.
“We couldn’t be more proud and excited to be named an official local qualifying range for American Marksman,” said Debbie Block, president of Reno Guns & Range. “Our organizations share the same goal, to bring new folks into the shooting sports in a safe and fun environment. We look forward to welcoming competitors into our facility beginning in March.”
After registering on www.AmMarks man.com, competitors will come to Reno Guns & Range on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. during March, April and May where they will be taken through the local qualifying course of fire that includes .22 caliber rim fire ammunition fired from .22 caliber rifles, handguns or both. Scores will be uploaded to the American Marksman leaderboards on the website as soon as they complete the contest.
American Marksman, owned by Outdoor Sportsman Group in Denver will also produce a television show that follows the tour and select competitors as they advance. The show will air, beginning in December 2016, on both the Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel television networks.
“American Marksman is thrilled to have Reno Guns & Range on board with us as an official local qualifying location,” American Marksman Tour Director Brian Tatum said in a press release. “Debbie and her staff have done a tremendous job promoting the shooting sports in Reno and have taught many new target shooters how to have fun and do things in a safe manner. We couldn’t be happier to be working with them to continue that mission.”
