Cowboy Action - Rocky Branch Rangers - Old west style firearms are used for this competition. Different scenarios are created each match to challenge your proficiency with your single-action revolver, lever-action (pistol caliber) rifle, and double barreled shotgun. SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) is the governing body for this competition. Learn more about this type of shooting by visiting the SASS website at www.sassnet.com. Cowboy Action events are held the 1st Sunday of each month March through December. (Consult our Match Schedule for possible exceptions.) Contact match director Scott Siegfried at (660) 909-6519 or siegfried@ctcis.net for additional information.
Sporting Clays - Challenging shotgun scenarios will test your shotgun skills and improve your hunting success. Sporting Clays begins at 2:00 pm the last Sunday of each month from March through October. (Consult our Match Schedule for possible exceptions.) For more details contact match director Jim Mistler 660-238-1498.
USPSA - Practical Shooting attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately with a full power handgun. Those three elements - speed, accuracy, and power - form the three sides of the practical shooting triangle. By design, each match will measure a shooter’s ability in all three areas.
To do this, shooters take on obstacle-laden shooting courses (called stages) requiring anywhere from six to 30+ shots to complete. The scoring system measures points scored per second, then weights the score to compensate for the number of shots fired. If you miss a target, or shoot inaccurately, points are deducted, lowering that all-important points-per-second score.
If shooting has an “extreme” sport, USPSA-sanctioned practical shooting is it. Competitors move, negotiate obstacles, run, speed-reload, and drive their guns through each of several courses as fast as their skills will allow. Matches are held outdoors, in all weather, further taxing competitor skill.
These events are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month from March through October. (Consult our Match Schedule for possible exceptions.) For details contact match director Scott Lane at 660-631-2584.
Rimfire Challenge - Our Rimfire Challenge is an adaptation of the RCSA (Rimfire Challenge Shooting Association) Rimfire Challenge, which was formerly called the Ruger Rimfire Challenge. To learn all about it, visit the web page https://www.rimfirechallenge.org/about/ and its links. We do things a little differently, but we use their rules and procedures as a baseline.
Firing is conducted from a fixed standing position at an array of static steel plates using .22 rimfire firearms. You have a maximum of 10 rounds to hit 5, 6, or 7 targets “on the clock”. One is designated the “stop plate” and must be shot last. Others may be shot in any order, and re-engaged in any order, but all must be engaged at least once before shooting the stop plate. After your score is recorded and you reload, you repeat strings of fire with the same firearm to complete the stage. Each match has separate stages for handguns and rifles. Scoring is a combination of speed and accuracy.
Unlike RCSA matches that use standardized stage descriptions, we design our own stages for each match with a variety of target sizes, shapes, and arrangements. A typical match might consist of 4 stages with 5 strings per stage, using an average of 5-6 targets. For such a match, the round count would be 100-120 minimum (4*5*6).
