Indoor Pistol Competitions
RANGE
Southport Gun Club offers an official 50-foot indoor range with pneumatically controlled turning targets. The range has 10 firing lanes with both overhead and floor mounted lights for target illumination.
The range is designed for official Conventional Indoor Pistol and Rimfire (.22 caliber) Rifle competitions. The pistol course of fire is generally termed “Bullseye”. Shooters use one hand and stand in the “off-hand” position, and although traditionalists shoot strictly with iron sights, telescopic sights are permitted in Bullseye. Many advanced shooters use electronic red dot type sights.
PISTOL MATCHES
The club generally sponsors two Conventional Pistol, aka, “Bullseye” handgun competitions each year. Both are NRA sanctioned. The January Sectional is a .22 cal. RIMFIRE event. 90 rounds are shot as described in the “LEAGUES” link.
Team matches are often included for additional awards. This adds another 30 round gallery making the entire event 120 rounds.
SOUTHPORT usually sponsors the Wisconsin State Indoor Pistol Championships. Also called “1800′s,” these shoots include 90 rounds of rimfire and 90
rounds of centerfire. Possible perfect score is 1800 points. Official individual NRA indoor classifications apply for sanctioned competitions.
Match fees run from $30.00 to $45.00 depending on the event.
