'We realize that results from our test gun can’t be extrapolated to every possible gun readers might own, we wanted to test ammunition in a fashion most consumers would be able to duplicate, and in fact, should conduct on their own. But our framework can potentially save you money and time by narrowing the list of candidates you might try in your own gun, and you can also follow our system to see if a given round performs for you like it did for us.

American Heroes Challenge to Raise Money for Veterans Memorial in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS -- American Heroes Challenge will present a two-day multi-stage firearms and tactics competition designed to test the technical, tactical, and physical capabilities of the nation's armed forces and first responders from all over the country.

The American Heroes Challenge will take place in Las Vegas on Nov. 7-8, and the competition is open to the public. All proceeds will go toward the goal of raising at least $1 million for the construction of a world-class Veterans Memorial in Las Vegas.

"The American Heroes Challenge is a means to honor those that go beyond the call on a daily basis and I am proud to have the opportunity to give back to a community that puts the needs of others before themselves. The Las Vegas Veterans Memorial is the first of many projects this charity will support in future years," said Michael Millett, president of American Shooters and director of American Heroes Challenge.

Twenty teams of four military, law enforcement, and security professionals will use innovative problem-solving methods, teamwork, and their special skill sets to complete tasks in scenarios designed to push the limits of their abilities and determine which team is the best of the best. Teams will be competing for more than $100,000 in awards and prizes.

Participants will compete in events encompassing low-light operations, manual breeching, building searches, injured operator rescue and rapid deployment skills.

The American Heroes Challenge is a charitable organization created to pay tribute to members of the military, law enforcement and first responder communities.
