Summer Pistol – New Shooter Orientation

Who can shoot?

Anyone 18 or older who can legally and safely handle a handgun while drawing and shooting from a holster or from the low or compressed ready position (either is acceptable, according to your skill and comfort level).

First-time Summer Pistol Practice shooters are welcome to participate; range officers will help and supervise newer shooters.  If you want to build your shooting experience or hone your existing skills, this event is for you!

New Shooter Orientations:

New shooters (people who have not shot in the Outdoor Sportsman’s Club Summer Pistol Practices before or are not active I.D.P.A. or U.S.P.S.A. shooters, or are not law enforcement officers) MUST attend one of these orientations to participate.
