Action Shooting

Members engage in dynamic and challenging courses of fire, where speed, accuracy, and power are equally tested. Through action shooting, shooters of all skill levels find an inclusive community passionate about firearms proficiency, self-improvement, and the thrill of competition. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or new to the sport, action shooting offers a structured, exciting path to elevate your shooting skills in a supportive environment.

You might find attending a match as a spectator to get a feel for the flow of events, the safety protocols and the insights into the match dynamics a good first step. Many people will jump right in and get started down their path of action shooting.

MRGC holds a monthly match (USPSA or PCSL format) on the second Sunday of the month.  Practices are held throughout the year and scheduled as weather and daylight allow. The club calendar has the dates for these events. Participants need to be proficient in safe gun handling, loading/unloading, and overall operation of the gun they’ll be using.

    • 6 sessions
    • Freedom Pit - Weather Permitting

    We have regular practical shooting skills practices In the action shooting practice pit. Check the club calendar for if we cancel due to rain, snow, etc.  Practices are free and open to members and their guest. Attendance varies but everyone should expect to participate actively, learn new things, and have fun. Action shooting is not intended for novice shooters, if you are safe and proficient with handling your firearm (load/unload/reload and shoot), please join us and we will help hone your skills needed for practical pistol shooting as well as participating in action shooting sports!!  Attendance counts as one of the 2 practices needed to shoot in a club hosted IDPA/USPSA/PCSL match.

    What you'll need-

    1.    Gun: For your first practice, if you only own a single gun or are not sure if what you own will “work”—just bring it— We will work with you and your equipment. If you continue to come and play with us, we will ask that you comply with the equipment rules.

    2.    Holster: , Must be constructed such that the firearm can be safely drawn and replaced, be of a belt mount type, and must cover the trigger guard

    3.    Magazines/Speedloaders/Moonclip: A minimum of three devices for your firearm is required for matches. At practices, if you do not have all three, we can work to accommodate you.

    4.    Mag Pouches: A double or two single mag pouches is needed. If you wear pants, you most likely have pockets. Many first timers go this route before going out and buying the required gear.

    5.    Ear and Eye Protection: Both are required to participate or watch. A hat with a brim is also strongly suggested.
