Reggie and I like to shoot guns, but like to do it on a budget. Armscor Shooting Center in Marikina currently has a promo called “Armscor Experience” where you can test their guns for free.

We went to Armscor to try out some of their products. I’ll post more about it later, but in the meantime, enjoy a picture of Reggie with her target board.
