Labor Day, RVAA Style!
At River Valley Arms & Ammo, we love things that go bang—and our Annual Demo Shoot is the perfect way to celebrate that! Mark your calendar for Monday, September 1st, 11 AM – 4 PM at the Redwood Falls Sportsmen’s Club, because this year’s event is shaping up to be our biggest and loudest yet.
We’re bringing a massive lineup of handguns, rifles, shotguns, and—back by popular demand—suppressors for you to try. It’s free to attend and free to shoot. Just pay for the ammo and bring your sense of adventure.
And yes, we’re still excited about the suppressors. You’ll get to test options from SilencerCo, Dead Air, Rugged, and Huxwrx—so if you’ve ever wanted to feel just how quiet things can get on the range, this is your chance.
How It Works
If you’re new to the Demo Shoot, here’s how it goes:
-
Firearms Station – Browse the lineup and pick your firearm. Leave your driver’s license as collateral.
-
Ammunition Station – Buy as many rounds as you want (cash only).
-
Range Station – When a Range Safety Officer gives you the green light, you’re up!
-
Return Your Firearm – Bring it back, grab your license, and repeat as much as you like.
Safety is key, so keep these four rules in mind:
-
Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded.
-
Never point the muzzle at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
-
Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re on target.
-
Know your target and what’s beyond it.
New for 2025
This year, we’re adding even more ways to get involved:
