I would like to invite you all to the Indoor Precision Pistol Matches at Range USA in Avon, IN on Mondays, from 5:30 PM until 7:30 PM. Anybody with a general understanding of gun safety and basic knowledge of marksmanship is welcome!

The Monday evening league at Range USA is an NRA sanctioned Precision Pistol indoor league that is run by volunteers. Range USA is not affiliated with the league, but is extremely accommodating. The indoor match is a modified and abbreviated version of the 2700 outdoor matches. There are two divisions: 22LR only, or 22LR/CenterFire. One can choose to participate in either division every evening. Iron sights and optics are allowed. Scores count for classifications, and are submitted at the end of the quarter to NRA. There is a $5 quarterly league fee and each National Match Course is only $1. Non-members of Range USA are expected to pay their own range fees. There are no prizes or awards.
Based on time, we typically have four recurring National Match Courses between 5:30 and 7:30, a total of 120 rounds. The repeating matches allow competitors to join even if they can't be there at 5:30. So if you arrive at 6:30, you most likely will get to shoot at least two National Match Courses.
A National Match Course consists of SLOW FIRE, TIMED FIRE and RAPID FIRE matches, shot with one hand, unsupported from 25 yards with turning target systems. Shooters new to Precision Pistol are allowed to shoot using both hands. Paper targets are scored with a maximum of 100 points.
In SLOW FIRE, you are given 10 minutes to shoot 10 shots at the NRA B-16 target. The 10 point ring is about 1.5" wide. Although 10 minutes is plenty of time, this is the most challenging stage for most shooters.
In TIMED FIRE, 10 shots are fired in two five-shot strings. In each string, you are given 20 seconds to fire 5 rounds at the NRA B-8 target. The 10 point ring is about 3 1/4" wide. The turning target system manages time and when the target is visible.
In RAPID FIRE, 10 shots are fired in two five-shot strings. In each string, you are given 10 seconds to fire 5 rounds at the NRA B-8 target. The 10 point ring is about 3 1/4" wide. The turning target system manages time and when the target is visible.
Unlike most other action shooting competitions (USPSA, IPSC, Steel Challenge, Falling Steel, etc), all competitors shoot at the same time on the line. You dont have to be waiting for your turn. The turning target systems attached to the indoor trolley reduces the need to call the range cold, and eliminates the walking to the target to score it. I believe that the Precision Pistol discipline would help any shooter improve their skills by working on the basic fundamentals. It sure is a challenge!
Just like other action shooting competitions, there are always people who are willing to help. I hope you will give it a try!
Oh yeah, after the match, we all enjoy dinner at a local restaurant and get to talk about anything and everything! So much fun!
I hope I get to see you there!
