This weekend at Steel City Shooting Sports in Hoover is hosting a Tactical Rifle Practical Shooting match. The bull gang will be in attendance. Due to family vacations a couple members will be absent.
If you would like to join us as we navigate the shooting stages at the SCSSA at Bocks Gap meet before 8:00am near the registration booth. You will be able to spot us by our black T-Shirts.
This Saturday May 24th the Bull Gana Tactical Weapons Team is having another practice at the Pleasant Grove FOP shooting range.
We will have stages setup compatible with tactical rifle as the primary purpose. We plan to incorporate a little bit of 3 gun competition into it. Some of the setups will be setup for shotguns and pistol as well.
We will have a couple swinging silhouette targets, a shooting house, steel plates, and standard silhouette targets. Hopefully we will add a couple other little things to give it a full scence. If you have some type of safe target or shooting house you would like to bring it. Also any PVC pipe, screen, roll plastic that can be turned into a blind, shooting house, prop that would be great. Bring it along and add to the true tactical reality would be fun. All are welcome to join us. Our ranges can be shot with pistol, shot gun, and especially rifle.
Come out to Pleasant Grove FOP Saturday around 10:30. We will be there rain or shine.
We hastily put together a map for you to follow along your journey. If you have questions or just want to drop us a line to expect you come on. If you are venturing to PGFOP you may want to take note of their phone number for directions 744-2600.

Several BGM Tactical members have been trying to custom order new rifles and have learned there is a backlog. It is nothing unusual for custom Black Guns to be on backorder for a month or 6 weeks. But, right now quotes are about 6 months. Six months isn’t so bad because it is in time for Christmas. The bad part is the rifle shooting season is over in lots of places due to the weather. Kind of disappointing but there is always next year.
Yes if you go to your local gun store there are AR-15′s on the rack. The delay is in the custom rifles, more specifically the .308 caliber. The customizations most of the members are asking for are just luxury upgrades as the standard setup is more than enough capable of rifle competition. Many of the upgrades have nothing to do with the actual function of the weapon. In fact many of the upgrades can be made on your basement work bench with a screwdriver. The customization that shouldn’t be done at home is what is taking so long.
We had a member contact DPMS directly to see if they could speed a .308 through and they said it was virtually impossible. So if you are in the market for AR15 rifle you may want to go with an off the rack rifle and have your gunsmith customize it for you.
Beware that if you want a custom rifle production is running abnormally behind schedule.
NOTE: The price of ammo has been increasing at about the same rate as fuel. So you may want to think about increasing your supply. If you know of another retailer with good prices feel free to comment and let everyone know. Able Ammo seems to have a great selection and competetive pricing.
