1800 Bullseye Pistol Match (Reno NV 10/5)

[Das Capitolin]

The Palomino Valley Gun Club is planning a 900-point .22 and 900-point CF Bullseye Pistol Match at 9am Sunday the 5th of Oct. 2014. Location is the Washoe County Regional Shooting Facility, Hwy 445, Pyramid Lake Rd. The event is at the PPC West Range immediately to the left of the Public Range as you drive in.
The course of fire will be 25 yards from the standing position using one hand with no support. There are no turning targets so this match is neither NRA approved or registered.
90 rounds are fired and each round has the highest value of 10 points. The first 900-points is fired in .22 so a person can use a .22 semi-auto or revolver (very tough for rapid fire). The next 900 is CF (center fire) ammunition, such as 9mm, .32, .38, and .45 calibers using semi -auto or revolver pistols.
Entry fee is $10 for the 1800. Awards are for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd for each 900. Please plan to be at the range by 8:15 am.

it's great to see that some clubs still have bullseye. I noticed on your club map a PPC range, but I didn't see any matches or match director listed. Do you know if there is any participation in PPC at your club?
Thanks,
Robert

Hello Robert:
We used to hold more Bullseye matches years back, but they went away for lack of interest. This year we're bringing it back for one match (10/5), and hope to keep it going for next season. The PPC ranges (east/west) are primarily for pistol events, which we typically do not schedule since there are competing clubs with that focus who use them and other pistol ranges nearby.

thanks. PPC has gone the way of bullseye. Like they say if it was easy everyone would be doing it. sadly that is not the case.

Agreed. Keeping that statement in mind, I've developed our club's smallbore silhouette rimfire match so that everyone can do it. After just a few matches, it already seems to be a hit. Next season I'll continue that match, but introduce another for intermediate shooters. The season after that: yet another match added for advanced shooters.

We can't expect people to be naturally good shooters. My philosophy is to get them interested, grow their experience, and shape the offerings around the membership.
