Experiencing Air-Pistol Shooting and Dinner

Invitation

Members Winson Chan and Victor Nip are organizing a sport and dinner event for us. You may participate in either or both parts of the event as you wish.

Air-pistol shooting is an Olympic sport which is practiced by people in many countries. It requires the shooters’ maximum concentration and that is why it is a good sport to help people escape from the pressure of the workplace. In the 2-hour beginner course, you will learn how to handle firearms safely and how to shoot with an air-pistol accurately, and put the theories into “practice”. Check out Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_meter_air_pistol) to know more about the sport.

Our dinner venue Inn Side Out used to be situated at Sunning Plaza. After the building was demolished for redevelopment, it moved into the SCAA building. Inn Side Out offers a wide range of beers for your selection, some of which is hard to be found in other places.
