Action Pistol
On Monday evenings from 6:00-8:00pm, we shoot Action Pistol. This event is open to the public. First time shooters are welcome. However, you MUST pass a skill test. If you can not hit a 12×18 target from 7 yards with 5 consistent shots you need to practice more before attending Action Pistol. Safety is key! Minimum pistol caliber is 9mm. Safety is our top priority. Cost is $3 for members and $5 for non-members. Use of a holster is MANDATORY.
Delaware State Pistol Club’s Action Pistol is a blend of USPSA, IPSC, NRA, Self-Defense Scenario stages and Pistol Skill Drills creatively presented to test pistol craft in a competitive manner in a 3-stage format. USPSA scoring (modified) is used with the results on PractiScore. Usually less than 50 rounds needed.
