Introduction
Welcome to the 2013 LC&SA Pistol League. All shooters are welcome – both members and non-members. We meet the first and third Wednesdays from May through October. Sign-in is at 5:30 p.m. at the pistol range. Both new and experienced shooters are invited. You are encouraged to bring your spouse, neighbor, and/or a friend.
What we do
The Pistol League at LC&SA is intended for shooters who wish to become more proficient with their handguns. Courses of fire are made up of a number of 'strings' requiring 8 to 18 rounds to be fired. The strings of fire involve engaging silhouette targets from close range (as close as 3 yards) to more challenging distances (up to 25 yards) and include strong-hand only, support-hand only, and various firing positions, including firing from behind cover. All strings of fire are timed. The strings are 'revolver neutral' which means that all firearms are loaded with a maximum of six rounds. Therefore, a minimum of three speed loaders or magazine are necessary. Targets are scored and standings are maintained. An awards banquet will be held at the end of the shooting season.

General LC&SA Range Rules
We run a 'cold' range. This means firearms remain unloaded until instructed to load on the firing line. When you arrive, holster your empty firearm at the designated SAFE AREA. Do not touch your firearm again until you are on the firing line and instructed to load and make ready. You may load magazines/speed loaders at benches located away form the Safe Area.
NRA safety rules are followed at all times:
-
- Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction
- Always keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use (until instructed to load and make ready)
- Always keep your finger out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot (your sights are on the target)
