THE MOST SHOOTING FUN IN A 50 MILE RADIUS OF ROCKY MOUNT, NC. OLD HICKORY ACTION PISTOL LEAGUE, ORGANIZED IN 2007, IS DRAWING AS MANY AS 40 SHOOTERS THE THIRD SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH. PARTICIPANTS COME FROM AS FAR AWAY AS RALEIGH AND GREENVILLE, NC FOR THIS EXCITING FORM OF SHOOTING. IT IS MUCH LESS STRUCTURED THAN IDPA AND IPSC, BUT STILL, IT IS SAFE AND FUN. THE REAL COMPETITION IS WITH ONE'S SELF, WHILE OTHERS LIKE TO COLLECT BRAGGING RIGHTS, AS NO TROPHIES ARE GIVEN. IF YOU OWN A HANDGUN, ESPECIALLY, IF YOU HAVE A CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMIT, YOU WILL FIND THIS THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND MOST REALISTIC HANDGUN TRAINING IN THE AREA. THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES AT THE MONTHLY SHOOTS...BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN! THE SHOOTING STYLE IS A COMBINATION OF IDPA (INTERNATIONAL DEFENSIVE PISTOL ASSOCIATION) AND IPSC (INTERNATIONAL PISTOL SHOOTING CONFEDERATION). BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE STRONG ON HANDGUN SAFETY, FUN AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF A HANDGUN IN A SELF-DEFENSE SITUATION.
WHO COMES TO THE MONTHLY SHOOTS? WE HAVE A COMBINATION OF EXPERIENCED SHOOTERS AND NEW SHOOTERS, BUT NEARLY ALL THE SHOOTERS SHOOT HANDGUNS JUST AS THEY WERE PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER. NO MODIFICATIONS ARE NEEDED. YOU WILL NEED A SIDE HOLSTER BUT IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE AN EXPENSIVE ACCESSORY. NEW SHOOTERS WILL BE GIVEN AN ORIENTATION PRIOR TO SHOOTING.
WHAT KIND OF HANDGUN WILL I NEED? MOST PARTICIPANTS USE EITHER A 9mm LUGER, or .45 ACP. A 9mm LUGER IS THE MINIMUN CALIBER. A SMALLER CALLIBER WILL NOT ALWAYS KNOCK OVER THE STEEL TARGETS. YOU WILL NEED THREE TO FOUR MAGAZINES FOR YOUR HANDGUN AND ABOUT 100-140 BULLETS PER MATCH. SAFETY GLASSES AND HEARING PROTECTION ARE REQUIRED FOR BOTH SHOOTERS AND SPECTATORS. EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT, COME OUT AND MONITOR THE FUN.
COST: $15.00 NON-MEMBERS AND $10.00 FOR OHGC MEMBERS. CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO JOIN OLD HICKORY GUN CLUB.
