Attn Va, Nc, Sc, Wv, Ky, Tn, Dc, Md Shooters

I'm just spreading the word to all the shooters in VA, NC, SC, TN, KY, WV, PA, DC, and MD that I'm once again promoting the 4th Annual, Law Enforcement/Military Combat Shoot to benefit Special Olympics, held here in Roanoke, Virginia. The event will be held on Saturday, September 23, 2006 at the Roanoke Regional Law Enforcement Firearms Training Academy. This is an "action pistol" match based upon IDPA rules. It is a 6-Stage event and the round count is around 85-90 (bring more ammo if you like to shoot more)----we will have a 7th stage which will be a side, shotgun match (we provide the shotgun/ammo, you pay $5.00 per attempt). There will be vendors on hand, shooter's packs for competitors, and we'll be giving away 10K-15K in prizes, including night vision from ITT Nightvision. Breakfast and lunch are provided at no cost.

THIS MATCH IS OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!! There will be an "Open Division" for civilian shooters and a "Law Enforcement/Military Division" for cops and soldiers. Entry is $25.00 (preregistered) and $30.00 on the day of the event. The stages are going to be pretty exciting---they include: Shooting into/from vehicles, shooting from cover/on the move, shooting from conventional/unconventional positions, and even negotiating a real, ballistic shoothouse. All stages will represent real-life use-of-force situations for military/law enforcement, including: reacting to ambushes, high risk warrant service, response to active shooters, high risk traffic stops, and hostage situations.

We have a blast every year, and we'd appreciate it if you could pass the word on to interested people if you get the opportunity. There is more information here: http://www.pkcarroll.com/2006Benefit.pdf

Here's my contact information:

Sgt. James "Mike" Goens

Here is some VERY REASONABLE hotel information:


Comfort Suites
2898 Keagy Road
Salem, VA 24153
(540) 375-4800

These are suite-type rooms---larger than average with a waiting area, refrigerator, microwave---they are super-nice for the money.

***NOTE: Be sure to notify the clerk that this is the state rate ($59.00) and you will be attending the Special Olympics Fundraiser/Cardinal Academy--if you hit a snag, you can ask for Rebecca Hash; Director of Sales****
