Here's your chance to get out on your motorcycle during a hot summer weekend AND support the vital work of Buckeye Firearms Foundation, including the FASTER Saves Lives program to train teachers and employees to carry in schools and protect our kids.
Buckeye Firearms Foundation and the Columbus Chapter of the Second Amendment Motorcycle Club will be your ride captains and range safety officers for the day on the first annual Great American 2A Gun Run.
It's a "poker" run with a twist ... you carry your concealed handgun and shoot at targets to collect wild cards and improve your hand!
HOW IT WORKS
The course is a little over 100 miles around central Ohio. You'll have 5 stops, 3 of which will be shooting ranges.
At each stop, you'll get one playing card. Plus at each of the 3 shooting stops, you'll also have 1 shot to put a hole in an index card - at 20 feet, within 3 seconds, using your concealed carry firearm with a .380 or larger caliber.
If you collect 3 index cards with a hole, you can turn them into 1 "wild card" which you can use to replace a card to get a better hand.
COURSE
STOP 1: Vance Outdoors, Obetz - The ride will start and end at Vance's. You can put your first shot downrange before you start or take off for the second stop and do your last shot when you return.
Vance's has kindly donated an entire shooting range, only two bays of which will be used for the wild card shoot. So riders can purchase or bring ammo and targets to get in some additional range time for free!
STOP 2: Cap City Outfitters, Hilliard - Shop for guns, gear, and other goodies before hitting the road again.
STOP 3: C&A Harley Davidson, Plain City - Browse the bikes or get that accessory you've been wanting.
STOP 4: Black Wing Shooting Center, Delaware - Shoot for your wild card and shop the large retail center.
STOP 5: Bullet Ranch, Pataskala - Shoot for your wild card and maybe pick out a new carry gun if you're bored with your old one.
STOP 1: Vance Outdoors, Obetz - End of the line. If you didn't shoot for a wild card when you began, shoot for it now. When the last rider is in, winners will be announced and prizes awarded.
