I attribute this to fading interest over time of traditional pistol matches with more folks showing up to steel shoots and falling plate these days.

Note – this does not mean we are cancelling Falling Plate and Steel Shoot matches, both which remain popular.

I will work with the Rangemaster and Range Committee to follow up on how we move forward with our 3rd Saturday dates. I may replace September’s match with another Flyswatter 22 BR match or another variant as those seem to be popular.

Brian Hanson, RSO and Pistol Match Director

A variety of fun pistol matches are scheduled throughout the calendar – generally on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Saturday’s of the month. The match rules and formats will be posted on the website under the Matches menu, and in the Target newsletter before the match. They will also be posted around the club when possible.

These matches generally require a .22 rimfire semi-auto pistol or rifle, a centerfire handgun, and/or a pistol caliber carbine and 50-200 rounds of ammo. The centerfire matches offer a chance for precision and speed and utilize paper and steel targets.

Expect to need 100-200 rounds for these depending on formats. We now sell ammo at the club, so you should be able to purchase the day of the match – talk with the match director when you arrive.
