Pistol League

Details

Introduction

Welcome to the 2014 LC&SA Pistol League.  All shooters are welcome – both members and non-members.  We meet the first and third Wednesday from May through October.  Sign-in is at 5:30 p.m. at the pistol range. Both new and experienced shooters are invited.  You are encouraged to bring your spouse, neighbor, and/or a friend.

What we do

The Pistol League at LC & SA is intended for shooters who wish to become more proficient with their handguns. Courses of fire are made up of a number of ‘strings’ requiring 8 to 18 rounds to be fired. The strings of fire involve engaging silhouette targets from close range (as close as 3 yards) to more challenging distances (up to 25 yards) and include strong-hand only, support-hand only, and various firing positions, including firing from behind cover.  All strings of fire are timed.  The strings are 'revolver neutral' which means that all firearms are loaded with a maximum of six rounds.  Therefore, a minimum of three speed loaders or magazines are necessary.  Targets are scored and standings are maintained.  An awards banquet will be held at the end of the shooting season.

NRA Rimfire Rifle Qualification Program

If you enjoy shooting over-the-counter field and sporter rimfire rifles, then the NRA Rimfire Rifle Qualification Program is for you!

Using your favorite field and sporting rifle, you can develop marksmanship skills, progress through a series of ratings, and earn distinctive NRA Rimfire Qualification rating awards.

The program is open to both members and non-members. Participants (non-members) ages 6 through 17 are required to become Junior Members (See Article VII, Sec. 1c of the Membership Rules) of LC & SA.

Program Duration: Thursday evenings, from the first week in May through through the last week in September at 6:00 p.m. Walk-in registration starts at 5:30 p.m. Please plan to come early for registration and orientation so we can start the program on time. If the first line fills up before 6:00 p.m., we start the program early.

We use the East pistol range for this program. Drive all the way back to the barn and then stay left to the top of the hill.

We will shoot each Thursday evening 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. through the last week in September. We will not shoot on evenings if it rains or storms and will notify folks via email if we have your current email address on file. We also do not shoot if the Thursday combines with a holiday weekend.
