Members can drive their own vehicles to and from the range. Firearms Competition Weapons: The ACJA/LAE firearms competition is intended for duty type weapons in calibers between.38 and.45. Weapons that have been extensively modified (i.e., aftermarket bull or slab side barrels, optical or electronic sights, expansion chamber compensators, removable barrel weights, etc.) are expressly prohibited. This is intended to eliminate the use of purpose built race guns to gain an unfair advantage. The proof that a weapon meets the definition of a duty weapon rests with the competitor. These limitations are not intended to prohibit minor action tuning, the use of aftermarket grips, or the use of factory available, duty modifications. Decisions on weapon eligibility will be made on a case by case basis by the Range staff. Weather: Huntsville in November can be cool and/or rainy or cool and sunny. Please be sure to check the forecast for Huntsville the week before you pack your bags.
