John runs our clubs Defensive Handgun matchs, which are based on IDPA rules, and does an excellent job of putting on a fun match. We are not an affiliated IDPA club so our matches do not follow all their rules exactly.

On sunday August 29th he will be putting on our clubs first 3 gun match. John recently shot in his first 3 gun and convinced the club directors to let him try it out at our range. John said he'd supply a few "riot guns" for those without one. All are welcome to come shoot. $10 for members, $15 for non members. Starting time is scheduled for 9 am. Sign up starts at 8:30. We usually only have about 15-20 people for the handgun matches and they go quickly so this should be about the same. We're normally done by 1 pm.

For those interested in trying the handgun match it is on saturday, the day before.
