TEAM PISTOL SHOOT

2019 Shoot Date and Rules - See Below

2016 Results

The 2016 Team Pistol Shoot took place on Saturday September 17th at 11am. We had10  teams compete on a dreary, rainy fall day. Both the novice and experienced shooters were challenged with 5 different stages of fire. Some stages were simply shooting for high score, some were shooting for the fastest time. And some added both elements together for a psychological challenge that added fun to the competition.
