Action Shooting - just for the fun of it!
Our pistol activities are loosely based on IDPA style action shooting. A course of fire is created and each shooter takes their turn going through the course. The shooter's final score is based on both accuracy and elapsed time. We are the Official Training Site for Twin Cities Action Shooting.
All handgun calibers are welcome in our league. We are a friendly group who enjoy cheering for each other as our skills improve.
Younger shooters are also welcome as long as their parent/guardian is with them when they shoot and they have received their Firearm Safety Certificate.

If you don't have a centerfire handgun, we do allow use of .22LR semi-automatics such as a Walther P22, Sig Mosquito, S&W M&P22, Glock .22 conversion, etc. If you have not had training or are uncomfortable drawing a loaded gun from a holster, you can start courses of fire from low ready position. We are adaptable to the needs of relatively new shooters.
