Information:
The 2020 Shootout is scheduled for Saturday, August 22 at the Lexington Police Department Firing Range, located at the corner of Parkers Mill and Airport Road, in Lexington, KY. Gates open at 8 AM, shooting begins at 8:30 and runs until approximately 2 PM.
Covid-19 Information: 2020 is an unusual year, obviously, with the Covid-19 pandemic. The motto of the Shootout has always been "Safety First," and this year will not be an exception. We will be following all government guidelines and best practices to ensure the safety of our guests, volunteers, and the police officers who help us produce this event. As such, there will be a temperature check station all attendees must pass through to enter the facility. Additionally, masks must be worn while inside the gates of the facility (except while eating or drinking). We recognize that some folks don't like to wear a mask, but with an event of this nature, we must insist that everybody within the gates wear a mask. We will have masks available for those who need one. There will also be hand sanitizer available, which we encourage participants to use. Finally, we will be employing a variety of methods to help keep distance between guests and volunteers. We thank you for your patience and understanding--hopefully in future years, these measures will not be necessary.
What is the Shootout? Bluegrass Crime Stoppers began the Shootout 16 years ago as a fundraiser for our programs. It is a shooting contest, open to civilians and law enforcement, structured to allow shooters of all skill levels to compete for trophies. In 2020, we have a raffle, sponsored by Glock, where two lucky winners will receive a gift certificate for a free Glock 17 or Glock 19 from an authorized Glock dealer (must be 21 and pass the background check). There will be a Silent Auction with fantastic items from various businesses. Drinks and breakfast are included, and lunch is available for a donation. All are welcome to attend, but shooters must be over 21.
Events:
Individual Shoot: $40 (use of pistol, ammunition and target supplied)
Team Shoot: $120 (cost covers three team shooters; use of pistols, ammunition and targets supplied)
(a person may shoot one Individual Shoot and one Team Shoot, maximum)
Teams and Individuals may shoot at any time during the event.
