BPOA Firearms Training Day
In an effort to enhance our member’s firearm safety skills and increase their knowledge on how to properly use various firearms, BPOA board members provided a Firearms Training Day at the Angeles Shooting Range, in Lake View Terrace.

A reputable firearms vendor supervised the training day, and after giving us a safety briefing, they provided a variety of firearms to shoot. We fired guns that went, “Pew-Pew”, Pow-Pow”, “Bang-Bang”, and “BOOM- BOOM!” It was an experience of a lifetime.
BPOA members were invited, and even granted the opportunity to include their families for this skill building, fun-filled, memory making event. As a result, we cultivated camaraderie from the youngest generation, to the ranks of the joyfully retired.

After hours of proficient shooting down range, a grand barbecue lunch was provided and the range finally experienced a little quiet time as we filled our faces with ribs, chicken, and all the “fixins”. The food was delicious.
