We are excited for the 4th Annual Kameron Durr Memeorial Clay Shooting Competition on Saturday, May 9th at Shreveport Gun Club! All are invited! Pre-register as an individual or 5-man team before May 3rd or register day of the event.

This annual event honors the late son of our lead IR tech, Kris Durr. Kris and his family lost Kameron unexpectedly 4 years ago and this competition honors his memory with one of his favorite hobbies.
