Action shooting is a game measuring the speed at which a competitor can hit one or more targets, starting from a position in which the handgun is securely holstered. Targets may be stationary or moving. Action courses vary, often including both scored targets and falling targets within the same match.

Silhouette

Silhouette shooting is a bit different. Think of the old time shooting gallery at the county fair….but on a MUCH grander scale. You’ll be shooting at steel targets shaped like pigs, chickens, turkey…you name it! All different sizes and distances.

Scoring is simple: shoot to hit the target off off its stand. If it falls- success! If not….

Precision

In this demanding sport, shooters are permitted to use only one hand while engaging targets at ranges varying from 10 to 50 meters. Scoring is completed using official targets calibrated for point value. Because it is so easy to get started with simple rules and it inherently challenging nature Precision shooting ranks as one of the most popular recreational uses of the handgun to this day.
