Do you have one of these? Have you wondered how far you can ACCURATELY shoot it? Better yet, do you know how to set it up for the most accurate shooting??
Some of your fellow club members get together for an hour-long match once a month to test their long-range handgun shooting skills and learn from each other. This is an informal, enjoyable evening match with several different “classes” in which to compete. Just about any handgun (except for a very short-range one) has an appropriate class. The winners in each class walk away with cash prizes. YES! Some folks make money in this match!!
Revolvers and rimfire handguns are shot on the 100 yard range, the longer range center-fire pistols are shot on the 300 yard range. (Practice targets are available on request.) The match is held on the first Tuesday evening of the month from April through October. Come join the group! Or at least come see if you’d like to be part of it.
