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.
