    Photo Of The Day – We take a look at what looks like a really wet and muddy Multi-Gun competition at Fort Benning.

    Handguns, shotguns and rifles in the rain – what’s not to like? Once you hear the start signal you forget about the weather anyway, although we all prefer to compete in perfect sunshine and temperature.
