Shooting Match: Tucson
« on: February 13, 2005, 09:44:24 PM »
Anybody in Tucson who is interested in shooting a steel target "fun match" let me know if you are interested.  Every 4th Sat. as the Pima Pistol Range we set up two bays for a "fun match" moving targets, spinners, twisters, dogs, CQB shooting, etc.  All guns can be used (except AR's at close range), shotguns, .22's, centerfire pistols and Class 3 weapons.

Cost is $8 (which is the range fee).

  Where's the range located?  I also assume that the next meet will be the 26th?

The range is in Catalina, just North of Oro Valley.  You can find a map at www.pimapistol.org

  Cool.  I think I'm going to try and show up.  I really need some practice time with my Steyr GB.

You can bring ANY guns you want.  9mm's, AR's, shotguns, Class 3's, etc.  We usually set up a course of 60+ rounds, mostly steel targets.

Here's a pic of what one of the stages looks like, the "texas star" in the center starts rotating once you start shooting the plates off it.  All the targets can be shot with shotguns, pistols and .22 rifle (no centerfire on the steel, leaves a divet)

There are a lot more targets than in the pic, 40% are already knocked down.

Hey, I'm definitely interested. About how many people show up on average?

Hmmm, 4-12.  Better with fewer people cause you shoot more..... but less people to go out and set up targets.  What kind of gats you have?

gats. . . . I'm assuming you mean firearms. I have a Colt Commander .45, Springfield M1A, an AR, a no-name .22 rifle, and I just bought a baretta shotgun.

What's the maximum range available for the shoot?  I wouldn't mind making sure my scope for my SVD is sighted in for 100 meters.

we'd like to keep it under 20 people.  The range wanted to post it on their monthly news letter (they have a match every Sunday morning).  We wanted to have a 'fun' match for people who don't want to shoot competitvely, specifically wives and kids of shooters, no timers, no course of fire.  Just walk out there and knock'em down as you see them.

I brought an Intern from work out last time for his first time shooting.....  I think we've converted him.  Good thing he doesn't live in Cali



Blurred out his pic to protect the innocent! ;)

They range has a 50yrd, 100yrd and 200yrd range(s).  we'll set up the stages at 7:30am.  We can put up a lot of barracades if you want, a quasi CQB.  (Although the next morning on Sunday they have a IDPA match, its a shooting course for people that carry concealed, Bohdi and I will be there)

  Well, if that's the case, I may have to bring all my guns.  Well, except my Bushmaster Armspistol which is misbehaving.  :(
