This sport, enjoyed all over the world, involves the use of firearms in situations where you might be forced to defend yourself. Handguns are our primary focus, with two matches a month (weather permitting) on the 2^nd Sunday and 4^th Saturday of each month. In months that have a 5^th Saturday, we hold a practical rifle match. 
         
For handguns, targets are placed anywhere from point blank distance to 50 yards away. They may be paper targets, steel plates, or knock down steel targets called “Pepper Poppers” after their inventor, John Pepper. After the course of fire is described to everyone, you get to try your hand at the course. We rarely repeat a course of fire, so the challenges are always different.

Your score is divided by your time, measuring both speed and accuracy.  The person with the best score in the shortest time is the winner, although we place no emphasis on winning. We want you to A) be safe, B) have fun, and C) learn something.

        (Bring what you already have, we will help get you in the right class.)

    When do you shoot?
The 2^nd Sunday and 4^th Saturday of each month weather permitting. Setup starts at 8 AM, the shooters meeting starts at 9 AM. We are usually done no later than 1 PM.

Where do you shoot? 
In the borrow pit off of Lone Pine Dam Road

    We hold our matchs about 1/2 mile north of Lone Pine Dam Road and south the transfer station, off the approach road to the old dump site. 
    If you are coming from State Route 77, turn West on Lone Pine Dam Road. About 1/4 of a mile in, beyond the transfer station, there is a road leading to the North (right). Follow that around about 1/4 of a mile, and bear left on the two track (we will have signs out).

    If you are coming from State Route 260 via Lone Pine Dam road just continue past the old pit to the next road going north. Turn left and follow the dust.
