August 28, 2021The Action Pistol Committee will be holding an open house and introduction to action shooting on Saturday, August 28th. Come try out the ranges and see what action pistol is all about.
We will have two sessions with the first starting at 10:00AM, and the second at 1:00PM. The sessions will be held on five of the bays at the same time, with a maximum of eight members per bay. This is to minimize members exposure and to practice social distancing. Bring your favorite hand gun, pistol or revolver, center fire or rim fire, and ammo. Sorry, no magnums, rifle caliber, nor .17 caliber can be allowed.
Registration for the sessions will be required, and is limited to members and their immediate family living in the same household. The outdoor pistol range will be closed until 2PM for the event. Please e-mail the Action Shooting Pits chair to sign up for one of the sessions, or if you have any questions.
