Youth Pistol League

This pistol league, which is hosted at our shooting range will meet every Friday, starting September 16th, for eight weeks. We'll cover basic safety, handling, and marksmanship first, giving you a firm foundation for a lifetime of safe & skilled recreational shooting.

Start the night with ten to fifteen minutes in the Coach's Corner: marksmanship instruction provided by two instructors who are also experienced competitive shooters. Then we're off to the range to apply new knowledge and warm up on a practice target. You'll have a coach right at your shoulder if you need support. Next, enter your weekly score with ten shots on each of 3 Bullseye targets. Then, on to the fun with each week's variety theme.

Zombie Attack, Carnival All-Stars, & You Sunk My Battleship!

These are just a few of the themes in our 8-week lineup! But don't worry: we will never neglect your development as a sharpshooter. Each theme has a second purpose (on top of the fun): to give you familiarity with an element of competitive shooting, and thus prepare you for our grand finale. The Ladies Variety League finishes with Graduation Night: one bullseye target match shot in the traditional Ladies League style, to be counted with your weekly bullseye scores for League honors.

  • Cost: $80 for league pass or $12 per meet
  • Date: Every Friday starting September 16th
  • Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
