  • Your First Multigun Match When You Come to Your First Match, You Will Need to Bring Along a Minimum Contingent of Equipment
    www.OhioShootingSports.com Match Director: Michael Craig [email protected] 740-964-1131 Stage Designs: http://www.defensivepistol.org/2010PCSIMultiGunStages.html 2010 Scores: http://www.defensivepistol.org/2010PCSIMultiGunScores.html 2010 Match Dates: June 6, July 11(Buckeye Firearms Association), Aug 8, Nov 7 Your First MultiGun Match When you come to your first match, you will need to bring along a minimum contingent of equipment. Don't go overboard initially. Remember you may need to move all of your equipment from stage to stage. For you first match you need to consider the following: Rifle • A .223 or larger caliber, semi-automatic rifle in good working order. For this event we will accept .22 and larger pistol caliber carbines as well. • A rifle case (soft or hard). When you first arrive at our range, your rifle must be encased and we are requiring the use of empty chamber flags or equivalent method. • At least 2 30-round magazines or the equivalent in lower capacity magazines. Our rifle stages can require as many as 30-60 rounds. If you need to take any extra shots you probably want to carry at least one spare in case you need it during the run. • Some way to carry around your extra magazines. Various types of inexpensive magazine pouches are available from a number of sources, although you may be able to just stick it in your belt or pocket for your first match. • At least 100 rounds of ammunition. If you need extra shots, its better have enough ammunition than not. If you have a "range malfunction" during your run and need to "reshoot", you'd better have enough ammunition to reshoot the entire course of fire.

  • GETTING STARTED in MULTI-GUN COMPETITION

We want you to be safe, and have an enjoyable match with us. Multi-gun and action pistol are competitive ​ shooting sports that take marksmanship to the next level. This incorporates movement, along with varied targets and courses of fire, all while being timed. Basic skills required: It is presumed that you have basic firearm safety and handling skills. You should be ​ comfortable with firearm manipulation, loading, shooting, making safe, and clearing malfunctions, as well as basic marksmanship at distances of 10 to 25 yards. Having solid skills on the static line will let you focus on what’s new with safety and shooting, while on the move. How to get started: Shooters are required to have VERIFIABLE EXPERIENCE in shooting competitions ​ ​ ​ such as USPSA / IDPA / SCSA, etc. If you are new to the sport, you will need to complete an “Intro to USPSA” or equivalent course. You may already have extensive firearms handling experience. This is not a class on how to shoot a gun, but on the safety practices, etiquette, and expectations when participating in a match. Course info here: http://www.actionpistol.org/target/intro_class.html . Upon completion you will be qualified to ​ ​ shoot at most of the affiliate clubs in the region. We invite you to come out and observe our monthly match. This is a great time to meet match staff, ask questions, and tour the range.

  • Holster Qualification Course Training Manual
    HOLSTER QUALIFICATION COURSE TRAINING MANUAL SECOND EDITION JUNE 2014 DISCIPLINES THAT INVOLVE HOLSTERS NRA – ACTION PISTOL SHOOTING A series of established matches shot at set distances involving a specified number of shots fired with a strict time limit. No ‘on range’ movement is required, although shooters often choose to shoot from the prone position and do develop special techniques to help improve their scoring abilities. The four major match events shot in competition include: Barricade event, Practical event, Moving target event, Falling Plates event. The total number of aggregated points possible for this type of competition is 1920X The official target is the AP-1 with separate scoring rings. IPSC – PRACTICAL PISTOL SHOOTING A comprehensive range of stages, generally designed to be different at each event, make up a Practical Pistol Shooting competition. The idea is to test the shooter’s level of ability involving the ‘practical use of a handgun’. Such skills represent a ‘shoot’ or ‘no shoot’ situation. Targets can be partially obscured, moving or swinging out of sight. Steel knock down targets and pepper poppers are also used. Target scoring depends on the power factor of the ammunition used. Further details can be obtained from the IPSC Rule book. Targets used are the Classic and Mini IPSC target as well as the reactive pepper poppers and round of square steel targets. SPEED SHOOTING - STEEL CHALLENGE SHOOTING From a static position each shooter engages an array of steel targets in the fastest possible time. Each match is shot ‘comstock’ which means an unlimited number of rounds. Usually five ‘strings’ or ‘runs’ of fire are shot, the highest time deducted, leaving the aggregated time of four runs as the shooter’s score for a particular course of fire.
