NRA Basic Pistol Course Offered in March
The NRA Basic Pistol Marksmanship course will be offered at the clubhouse during the month of March and part of April. The course comprises ten hours of instruction and practice, and is held on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 beginning the first Tuesday of the month.
Instruction covers handgun safety, operation of revolvers and semiauto pistols, ammunition basics, marksmanship fundamentals, selection and maintenance of a handgun. Two of the sessions will involve live-fire practice with .22 handguns. Safety is stressed throughout the course.
This course has something for everyone from beginners to experienced shooters. The teaching staff has many years of experience in all aspects of handgun shooting and competition. For those considering acquiring a concealed carry license, this course will be very useful, as much of the final examination in the CCH course is based on the exam for this course. The supervised firing will also give the beginning pistol shooter a head start toward preparing for the firing component of the CCH course.
The course is open to all able persons 12 years of age or older, although enrollment is limited to twelve which is what the range can accommodate. If interested, contact Bob or Margaret Curry at 785-841-2918 or email magscurry@yahoo.com.
The steel chicken, pig, turkey, and ram targets represent a sizeable monetary investment by the club, and willful damage to them will not be tolerated. Shooting at them with centerfire rifles puts holes and craters in them that must be welded up before they can be used in matches. Craters cause bullet fragments to be reflected straight back toward the firing line at high speed, where they have caused personal injury.
During scheduled IHMSA silhouette matches only, rifles firing low-intensity cartridges and cast lead bullets are allowed to compete at the discretion of the match directors, providing that they do not damage the targets. Such shooting cannot be allowed at any other time, for the obvious reason that onlookers may assume that if your .44-40 is allowed, so is their .300 Weatherby.
For rifle shooters who wish to practice on steel targets, there are heavy rectangular steel gongs at the 100- and 200-meter lines. All other steel targets belonging to the club are off limits to all rifle shooting.
