Recap of the Ancient City Air Gun Competition  

Sylvan Arms was proud to sponsor the recent Ancient City Air Gun Competition (ACAC), held on Saturday, May 25th, 2024. The event, set in the charming city of Saint Augustine, took place at a brand-new private gun range just ten minutes from downtown. Along with the thrill of high-speed shooting, attendees enjoyed a pig roast and beverages, making it a perfect day out.

The competition featured the Ultra Fast format, developed by the Ultra-Match Precision Airgun Association. Shooters engaged targets in fast-paced, timed stages that mimicked hunting scenarios, testing their speed and accuracy. Competitors shot in four separate stages with seven targets each, using a total of ten rounds per stage, aiming for a maximum score of 100 points per stage.

As a token of our appreciation, all competitors received a gift bag containing:
