The "Heroes Day at the Range" Program is designed to get Military, Veterans, and First Responders back out on the range so they can re-connect with the enjoyment of being outdoors, on the range, and with their peers that fully understand where they've been and what they have experienced. This program also puts them in a place mentally where they must "stay focused in the moment" to be successful, which the objective of the program.
