Swift River Pistol Team

The targets are 50 feet down range. Each shooter fires a total of 30 rounds in the course of the match. Each of the three targets has a possible score of 100 with 300 being a perfect match.

• Slow fire: 10 rounds in ten minutes.
• Timed fire: Two strings of 5 rounds in 20 seconds with a reload between strings.
• Rapid fire: Two strings of 5 rounds in 10 seconds with a reload between strings.

Most pistols used are .22 cal. Semi-autos, although revolvers can still be used. It's good to have at least two magazines for your pistol to help things run smoother.

All shooting is done only on the command of a range safety officer. This is not open shooting, the range safety officer runs the range.

We have 20 matches in the season.

All matches will be “POSTAL” matches, which simply means that we shoot at our indoor pistol range and the scores will be sent to the league via email for final scoring. We are doing this so the teams will not have to travel to other clubs during the winter weather.

With few exceptions, our matches are on Tuesday evenings at around 6:30 pm until about 8pm. Most shooters are home before 8:30 pm.

We always have some coffee and munchies for the waiting shooters.

An end of season banquet for all Western MA shooters is held in April. See the Club Calendar for the date.
