NRA Precision Pistol
900 and 2700 Programs
Our club has 45 firing points on a single firing line. The 50 yard slow fire strings use fixed targets while all 25 yard shooting takes place on our electronically timed turning target system.
These matches are a tradition at our club, and present the ultimate challenge in handgun shooting. In Precision Pistol, all firing is done using one hand with the targets set up at 50 and 25 yards. Iron sights or optics are allowed. It is a true test of mind over matter requiring a complete and focused shot thought path with each shot. Lining up the shot on target, breaking the shot and follow produce successful shots.
It's not witchery, but it is good mental discipline.
They also feature a lot of pistol shooting with very little downtime. If you like shooting pistols, these matches could very well be for you.
