Shooter Ready?
We shoot out of the Bulls Eye Marksman Gun Club every Sunday night. Registration and course setup starts at 6:00 and runs until 6:30, with the match running from 6:30 to 9:00. New shooters should make every effort to be at the range no later than 6:00 to give ample time for a mandatory safety briefing. Bulls Eye Marksman is a cold range and, as such, all weapons will be unloaded, with slides or cylinders closed, hammer down on an empty chamber, and holstered completely encasing the trigger guard. All handling of your weapon will take place in either the safety area designated outside the shooting area, or at the command of the Range Officer at the shooting line when it's time for your turn. Ammunition may be loaded into your magazines and moon clips any place other than the safety area. No handling of ammunition in any way is allowed in the safety area!
Practical Shooting, as a sport, is governed worldwide by the International Practical Shooting Confederation or "IPSC". IPSC is governed in the United States by the United States Practical Shooting Association or "USPSA". The USPSA manages and runs the National Range Officer Institute (NROI) that trains and certifies all of its Range Officers on how to conduct safe practical shooting matches. It is also responsible for the rules under which all sanctioned USPSA practical shooting matches are shot in the US. The USPSA maintains a shooters database that allows for a ranking system recognized and valued worldwide so that every USPSA member can shoot competitively against any other member and be ranked and scored among their peers. The USPSA also publishes a full color magazine called Front Sight with articles, match reports, updates and advertising specific to our sport. It is not mandatory that shooters belong to the USPSA to shoot with us at NAAS, but it is highly encouraged. With the long list of benefits that come with membership, the cost of USPSA membership is extremely reasonable.
