💥 Our team had a 'blast' at the New Jersey Electronic Life Safety Association Spring Clay Shoot last week!

While trap shooting is always a humbling experience for us, it's always a great time, as is networking with other local security professionals.

Thank you very much to the NJELSA and the Pine Valley Gun Club for hosting!
