• Free Ballistics Gel Shoot on Friday (8/9/24) before the main event (sponsored by SLWS).
• Firearms experts, vendors, and LE Reps from across the country will be gathered in MT.
• NRA PPC competition with top 20 LE shooters being recognized by the Governor.
• The award ceremony will be held in the Rotunda of the Montana State Capitol.
• All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Mason Moore Foundation.

Each year law enforcement officers from around the state gather for friendly competition in the historic NRA PPC competition. Our modern twist to revitalize, increase participation, and department buy in is to depart from the traditional weapon classifications, and encourage participants to bring their current or even “ideal” duty weapon to compete with. Delegates from agencies will have the opportunity to compare and contrast equipment, ammunition, accessories, and even training programs on the range. Additionally, before and after relays the whole upper range will be set up for vendors, distributors, and industry experts to help delegates understand the rapidly evolving firearms market and plan for future needs.

This year in addition to the industry experts that will be assembled in one location, SLWC has generously agreed to sponsor a free ballistics gel workshop for any agencies/officers that want to attend. They will have everything needed to compare and contrast any combination of ammunition/firearm against the FBI testing protocol. Some of the notable experts who have agreed to send representatives or sponsor the event already include (Nightforce, Staccato, Olympus Arms, SLWS, AAC Suppressors, Holosun, FHF Gear, Vortex Optics, Rex Silentium Suppressors, Sionyx, DeSantis Holsters, Edgar Sherman Designs, Surefire, Proshot, Eleven10, Glock, Springfield Armory, and more).

Our goal is to bring as many knowledgeable parties and stake holders as possible together in one spot to help drive thoughtful discussion and informed decision making. If you (or someone associated with the firearms program in your agency i.e. armorers, firearms instructors, swat operators, or “decision makers”) would like to attend please register below. We hope to see you or your delegate(s) in August and encourage you to share this unique information with your LE contacts across the state. Events like this are an extremely economical way to bring expert insight back to your agency. Paper registration forms and a W9 can be provided upon request to agencies who prefer to pay by check.
