A week ago, a couple of us went to Capitol Armory’s Quiet in the Capitol event. It’s an annual event where a dozen silencer manufacturers let you shoot their cans for free. If you like one of the silencers, go over to Capitol Armory’s tent and place an order for it. Their software fills out the Form 4 for you on the spot, including fingerprints, passport photo, and a trust. It’s basically an all-day silencer festival. There are even food trucks. You only have to stand in line for about 10 minutes for each can you want to shoot, and you get to fire 3 shots. There’s even a free machine gun shoot at the end of the day.
> Yes, it turns out it is a lot to ask. The only way to shoot steel is to either start competing, or find a private range, become a member, and go through an onerous steel qualification procedure.
Both of the outdoor public ranges near me have steel targets, I've shot them, and the only qualification procedure was they ran a magnet over my ammo to make sure I didn't have any green-tips
Do you mean something different than literally shooting steel targets? Or what's going on here?
