About Us
We are a defensive / practical shooting group that is open to anyone interested in improving their shooting and firearm handling skills. We utilize moving and static target systems designed to create real scenarios that will challenge the shooter, we try and use scenarios that are as real world as safety allows. Those that are interested in shooting with us must realize there is a certain skill level required to compete, the shooter must have the ability to complete the courses of fire safely. We try to setup challenging stages that might mimic real world situations, cover garments are required, handgun holsters must adequately secure the handgun and cover the trigger guard. Holsters must not be visible when covered.
Scores
