The MRGC Pistol Team competes in the South Shore Rifle and Pistol League. NRA National Match Courses are shot in the 50 ft. indoor range summer and winter Thursdays at 8 p.m. Other pistol disciplines are fired at the club also. Pistol team shooting is open to all members and we encourage members to give it a try. There is no pressure, only the pressure you place upon yourself. Only the top 5 shooters per team are scored for each night. Similar to "best ball" in golf, a great score can only help our team, a bad score does not hurt the team.
Bullseye, also known as conventional pistol, is a shooting sport in which participants shoot handguns at paper targets at fixed distances and time limits. A number of organizations, including the NRA and 
Civilian Marksmanship Program in the United States, have established rules and keep records for these sports. Emphasis is on accuracy and precision. The sport is primarily popular in United States and Canada. Bullseye pistol was the inspiration for the ISSF international 25 m Standard Pistol (82 feet) event and like the ISSF pistol events, the development of skills required to shoot one-handed at 5.5-inch and 8-inch bullseye targets at 25 and 50 yards, respectively, takes considerable training to achieve proficiency.
Sights
Any type of sight can be used, except laser sights. Many competitors use iron sights, but the recent trend has been towards red dot sights, which many shooters find easier to use. Telescopic sights, while legal, are rare, as magnification is not considered an advantage. Iron sights are usually adjustable Patridge type sights, carefully treated to reduce glare that might impact sight alignment.
Scoring
Count the number of holes, 5 or 10 per target. If a hole breaks a ring the higher score is given. If unsure scoring gauge can be used. Official rules and regulations on scoring is covered in section 14 of the NRA Pistol Rules 2003. NRA Conventional Pistol Rules
Courses of fire
All courses of fire are fired from a standing position using a one handed grip at 5.5-inch and 8-inch "bullseye" targets placed at 25 and 50 yards downrange. This is a significantly more difficult shooting position than the two handed grips accepted for use in metallic silhouette and action shooting competitions such as IDPA, IPSC, The Bianchi Cup, and PPC 1500 Matches. The "bullseye" targets are significantly smaller and farther away although time restraints are relatively more generous and shooting begins with an outstretched arm already aimed at the target instead of the mandatory holster draw required in most cases with the action shooting sports.
Three courses of fire are followed: Slow Fire, in which ten rounds are fired in ten minutes, Timed Fire, consisting of two five-round strings with twenty seconds for each string, and Rapid Fire, which has a ten second limit for each of the two five-round strings. All shooting is done one-handed, standing, with no support.
Depending on the match format, the competitor may be required to shoot as many as 90 rounds from each of three handguns. Each shot scores a maximum of 10 points. Hence, a one-gun competition is often referred to as a "900" whereas a three-gun competition is a "2700". A shorter form is the National Match Course consisting of a single Slow Fire, a Timed and a Rapid Fire target, 30 shots for a maximum score of 300. Single gun competitions using only the rimfire pistol are common, as they provide an inexpensive entry into the sport.
Outdoor competitions are typically fired at 50 yards for slow fire courses and 25 yards for timed and rapid fire courses. A "short course" shoots only at 25 yards and uses a reduced-size target for the Slow Fire segment. All courses of fire at an indoor competition are typically fired at 50 feet with appropriately scaled targets. (sourced from Wikipedia)
