SHOOTING EQUIPMENT
- GUN - Any semi-automatic handgun that is in safe working condition.
- BELT/HOLSTER - Optimally we would like you to shoot from a holster. However, we understand that some of our attendees may not be comfortable drawing from a holster yet and that is ok. If you prefer, you can start from the low ready position.
- EXTRA MAGAZINES - Please make sure you have at least two magazines for your gun but bring more if you have them.
- EYE & EAR PROTECTION - All attendees must wear any time range is hot. Electronic ear protection is recommended.
ROUNDS NEEDED
- 50+ - 9mm or larger up to .45 caliber.
SKILL FOCUS
- Shooting Platform, Grip, sight alignment, trigger, drawing from holster, target transition, movement.
SHOOTER SKILL LEVEL
- All shooters are welcome; however, we do expect that you have a good understanding of gun safety, a safe gun handling mindset, you are comfortable loading / unloading your firearm and manipulating the slide.
If you don't feel you meet this level please contact Rex Roberson, 719-221-9154, prior to attending the shoot.
THIS WEEKS COURSE OF FIRE
PRACTICAL COURSE - Something similar to the below.
Targets will be a mix of paper and steel and distances will range from 3 yards to 21 yards.
We will shoot this course three times. The first time we will run it dry with an unloaded gun. Then we will run it again twice with live ammunition.
Don't be discouraged by the complexity of this course. The idea here is to get comfortable moving from target array to target array and transitioning from one target to the next. This is not a competition so don't worry about shooting fast.
You will shoot 20+ rounds on this course and perform a mandatory reload so you will need more than one magazine.
Written Stage Brief
Start position will be toes touching the center of the rear barrier marked in red facing downrange. If shooting from holster hands will be below the belt line. If starting in low ready, muzzle will be pointed at a cone marker under the port in the angled wall.
On the start signal, engage targets as visible from within the shooting area with the specified number of shots. Targets may be engaged in any order. You must reload at least once during the course of fire.
Paper targets require two hits, steel targets require one hit.
I look forward to seeing you there. Please reach out if you have any questions.
