Bulls-Eye Pistol

Bulls-Eye Pistol is held each Thursday evening from late spring to early fall on the 50-yard range. There are also two NRA sanctioned matches hosted by the club each year as well. These events are open to both club members and the public, but preregistration for the hosted matches is required.

Also known as Precision Pistol or Conventional Pistol, Bulls-Eye shooting places an emphasis on accuracy and precision. Participants shoot handguns at paper targets at fixed distances and under time limits. The Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club uses a turning target system that only exposes the shooters' targets during the time allowed to shoot that course of fire. These courses are fired either at 25 yards or 50 yards (23 meters or 46 meters).

All courses of fire are from a standing position using a one-handed grip. There are 3 different stages shot in competition: slow fire, timed fire and rapid fire. Slow fire consists of 10 shots fired in 10 minutes. Timed fire consists of two 5 shot rounds fired in 20 seconds each. Rapid fire consists of two 5 shot rounds fired in 10 seconds each. If fired at 50 yards the bulls-eye diameter is 8 inches (20 cm), for 25-yard courses the bulls-eye is 5.5 inches (14 cm).

Courses are fired under pre-recorded range instructions. These will verbally check all shooters are ready, confirm they are all ready and then warn shooters to stand by for the buzzer alerting them the course of fire is about to begin. Targets turn in unison with the buzzer, shooters engage their targets and when done the targets turn away, so shots can no longer be registered on them.


Equipment needed:

There are three classes of pistols noted for Bulls-Eye shooting: a .22 caliber rimfire, a centerfire handgun of .32 caliber or greater, and a .45 caliber pistol. Shooters however can begin with any .22 caliber pistol, however due to the need for sustained fire a semi-automatic pistol or revolver with at least a 5 round capacity is ideal. Sights may be open/metallic, “red-dot” types or telescopic sights.

Rules can be found at:
NRA Precision Pistol Rules

SRPC ACTION PISTOL

The sport of Practical Pistol Shooting tests the ability to manage a handgun while maneuvering through simulated, scenario-based courses (called stages).  It emphasizes accurate shooting while moving as well as shooting from barricades and through ports.

While speed is certainly a factor, movement, reloading skills and the ability to shoot accurately are equally as important.  As always, SAFETY is the first and foremost consideration.
A competitor’s score is measured by dividing the points scored by the time it took to complete the stage- this is called hit factor.

The SRPC Action Shooters schedule 2 matches a month throughout the summer.  The schedule is on the club calendar and like most events it is open to the public.

There are members who are willing to help you get going into any of the club’s activities, Action Pistol included.  You are encouraged (members and public alike) to come observe these matches and simply reach out to any of the organizers or shooters who will help you with equipment and instruction to get you into this fun and rewarding activity.

What You Need: 

 

1 - A reliable handgun (revolver or semi-auto: 9mm-.38 Special or larger)
2 - A secure strong side hip holster
3 - A minimum of 3 magazines or speed loaders
4 - At least 2 magazine pouches for spare magazines
5 - A sturdy belt that will support the weight of the pistol and extra ammo
6 - Eye and ear protection
7 - A minimum of 70 rounds of ammunition

BUFFALO MATCHES

As shooting competitions grew over time, so did equipment to help competitors be more accurate and therefore have better success. In time a new approach to these competitions moved it in a different direction-backwards in time.

Like Cowboy Action, where competitors must use equipment that matches an era (these can all be new manufacture firearms, but the technology must meet the era reflected), so do the Buffalo Shooters use firearms and cartridges of what would be considered the “Buffalo Gun” era.

With a purpose of generating interest in these firearms and era, these shooters keep a focus on big bore single shot rifles (Sharp’s, Ballard’s, Winchesters, Remington rolling blocks, and Peabody’s for example) that were used in the great buffalo harvests in the 1800’s.  Trapdoor and large bore level guns of the same period are also allowed.

The matches are not limited to black powder, but it is encouraged.  Matches are limited to cast bullets to protect the gongs and impact areas of the range.  Loads are smokeless or black powder with grease groove or paper patch bullets.  There are a wide variety of eligible calibers like 45-70. 40-60 and 50-70 with bullet weights varying from 375 to 535 grains and beyond.

The Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club Buffalo Shoots began in September 2010 with the gong match is held the third Saturday in May.


The spring shoot is a gong shoot. The course of fire is 10 shots off of cross sticks at a small chicken metallic target at 200 yards, the final 5 shots are fired offhand at a large steel ram metallic target.  Hits are recorded as a score and the idea is to simulate the conditions and experience of the shooters of the Buffalo era.

Buffalo Gong Shoot: 2-5PM on May 18th
New shooters are always encouraged to show up and give it a try, there is always extra ammunition and a firearm to borrow to experience this fun, challenging and historic shooting event.

Matches run from 2:30-5:00 in the afternoons (to avoid shooting into the sun) and are a recreational and social competition that is growing rapidly.  Many shooters move from smokeless to black powder quickly as they learn new techniques, and many have gone on to shoot up to 1000 yards at ranges such as Lodi, WI together.

NRA Prone Tactical Rifle, Gear, and Rules

History:
NRA Mid Range Prone Tactical Rifle was developed about 5 years ago as discipline that will allow competitors to shoot rifles they already own without spending a lot of money on discipline specific equipment. Both “sling” and tactical rifle shooters will shoot alongside of each other. This match is ideally fired at 300, 500 and 600 yds, most clubs don’t have a 600 yd range, so we shoot targets at 100 or 200 yards that are geometrically equivalent to the 600 yd target.

Rifles:
This was a discipline designed to be tactical in nature using AR-15 and AR-10 type rifles. We will also allow M1 and M1A rifles. A Harris type bipod or range bag/ruck sack can be used as a front rest. No F Class type bipods and no sandbags or hard rest are allowed. bench The intent is to shoot what you have and not be a high dollar equipment type of match. A soft rear rest without “ears” is allowed. No sandbags or stocks with an extension that rest on the ground are allowed. Suppressors or muzzle breaks are not allowed. If you have a muzzle break, we will squad you on the final relay or next to some who is comfortable shooting next to you.

Sights:
Metallic, telescopic, red dot or holographic sights are allowed. Scopes are limited to 15 power, you can use a variable power scope greater than 15x, just set it to 15x or less.

Other Gear/Accouterments:
  • Shooting mats: A piece of carpeting or a commercial shooting mat is all that is needed. We will have carpeting available, best if you bring your own. Some find elbow pads useful. A shooting mat that secures the feet of the bipod is not allowed.
  • Ear protection is required
  • Eye protection is required
  • Sweat band or towel can be useful when it’s warm out
  • 10, 20 or 30 round magazines
  • Spotting scope and stand. We will have scopes available if you don’t own one.
  • Ammo
  • Water
  • We have a rifle and ammo available if you do not own one. Please notify me in advance if you need a rifle or ammo.
