Bullseye Pistol: This bi-monthly training match is provided to advance traditional pistol marksmanship skills, shooting paper targets at 25 yards (we plan to add a 50 yard stage later this year). Precision pistol shooting, commonly referred to as “Bullseye shooting” is conducted standing, using one hand to support the handgun. However, we do allow beginners and other competitors to shoot with a two-hand hold. The matches are not currently registered with the NRA or CMP, although that may change in the future.
As seen below, each match requires 60 rounds divided into three 20-round stages. A total of 180 rounds, with a perfect score of 1800 possible. Competitors are advised to bring extra ammunition to use in the 10-minute sight-in & practice period before the match begins.
Match 1 (22lr Rimfire Pistol): This is a sixty (60) round match
Match 2 (Centerfire Pistol): This is a sixty (60) round match
Match 3 (.45 Caliber Pistol): This is a sixty (60) round match.
