Add fun to your Center fire and Rim fire Pistol shooting with different targets at different distances. Quarter size candy suckers at 10 yards, followed by small clay pigeons and tennis balls on a string at 25 yards and paper targets at 50 yards will test both your skill and the sights on your pistol at the Short Range. Standard Silhouette shoots are held on the rifle Long Range for both Center fire and Rim fire events. Defender Pistol tournaments are held monthly in both Center fire (Short Range) and Rim fire (Indoor Range) versions. One of the favorite events is the .22 Golf Ball Shoot held on the Indoor Range. It's much more fun to shoot a golf ball off a tee then to hit a paper target, although retrieving your 'kills' at the end of the round takes a bit more time! Where are those hunting dogs when you need them?
