Swift River Pistol Team

Pistol League

Our team is part of the Western Mass. Pistol League that includes five other teams. We shoot an NRA course of fire. 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. It all makes for a nice night at the club and a lot of fun. So come on out, give it a look, give it a try. We'd like to have you. You might just like it. 


We can always use more shooters!

Hand gun type and caliber

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.

SAFETY is our first concern

SAFETY is our first concern

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.

Match Information

SAFETY is our first concern

SAFETY is our first concern

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.
