We cleaned up well, if I do say so myself. At this year’s Shooting Industry Masters, to benefit the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s First Shots program, attendees dusted off range dirt and donned duds for the Big Shot Ball. The ball, based on the Roaring Twenties theme, gave us an opportunity to network and visit with each — after spending a day on a hot range shooting. More than 300 shooting industry members attended the Masters from July 24 to 25, at the Claythorne Lodge in Columbus, Kan. Downstream Casino and Resort hosted the evening events.

...OffBeat: 4 Ways to Evaluate Your Child’s College Campus for Safety
