What is action pistol? Action Shooting, USPSA, Combat Shooting, IPSC(pronounced "ip-sick"), are all basically the same. The idea is to teach competitors to draw from holsters, negotiate obstacles, use different positions to engage multiple targets, make rapid reloads and generally shoot the course with more speed and precision. We shoot 5 to 6 courses of fire with a combination of pistol and 12 ga. shotguns or pistol cartridge rifles or downloaded lever actions as long as it does not damage our steel targets. We shoot the 4th Sunday of every month. All courses of fire change monthly except one, the El Presidente. The goal of this exercise is to fire twelve rounds at three IPSC silhouette targets with a mandatory reload after six rounds in ten seconds or less. Penalties are assessed for any hits outside of the "A" zone. The draw and reload are timed and posted monthly as well as the monthly totals for all matches so members can judge their progress and improvement. What equipment will I need? Ear and eye protection are mandatory. Hand guns can be any caliber from 9mm to .45 auto. However, no magnum calibers are allowed. Holsters must fit your gun and cover the trigger guard. The holster cannot be a shoulder style rig, cross draw, SOB(small of back), ankle or thigh. You will need at least one magazine holder that will hold 2 magazines or 2 speed loaders if you are shooting a revolver. All should be retained by an appropriate wide sturdy belt capable of holding this much weight. You will probably need about 100 rounds of ammo or more. Please do not bring unreliable handguns or questionable ammo. All "new" shooters need to call Ron at 541-472-1380 and make an appointment for our safety clinic first. The clinic is not about teaching anyone to shoot, it is about teaching you to draw a loaded gun from a holster and shoot quickly and safely while on the run and engaging multiple targets and numerous other safety considerations. What about safety? Safety is always our number one priority. There is no handling of firearms at any time except at a special table that has been designated as the "Safety Table". While at the safety table you may take a sight picture, practice draw or dry fire your weapon. However, at no time are any guns or magazines to be loaded at the safety table. Your gun may be loaded when you are actually on the firing line and the Range Officer has given you the command to "Load and make ready." Calendar of Events We shoot the 4th Sunday of every month with the following exceptions, extreme inclimate weather and/or if a Holiday falls on Sunday. December is always the 3rd Sunday unless stated otherwise. When in doubt call for info. Please arrive no later than 9:00am, shooting begins promptly at 9:30am. We encourage and appreciate anyone that wants to arrive earlier to help set up the courses. |
