Precision Pistol

Precision Pistol

Our Precision Pistol matches are held the 3rd Sunday of April thru October. Matches start at 9:00 AM at the upper Bullseye Pistol Range. Registration closes 15 minutes before the match.

Precision Pistol, also called Bullseye 2700, is an NRA sanctioned three-handgun match (.22 Rimfire, Centerfire, .45 Caliber) with a 2700-point format which has been the standard for national, state and regional championships since 1941. You can also fire this entire match with a .22 Rimfire pistol. You will fire 10 rounds each at 27 separate targets; 9 targets at 50 yards and 18 targets at 25 yards. You will need a total of 270 rounds plus a few extra in case of a misfire. A perfect score card of 270 bullseyes equals 2700 points.

Due to the current ammo shortage, we welcome shooters who do not want to shoot the full 270 shot match. We offer NRA sanctioned 1800 & 900 match formats as well, and non-NRA recreational matches.

A Precision Pistol match requires you to shoot identical 90 shot stages with each gun. Gun one must be a .22 Rimfire pistol or revolver, gun two must be a Centerfire pistol or revolver of .32 caliber or larger, and gun three must be a .45 caliber pistol or revolver. Most competitors use two guns for an entire match; a .22 Rimfire semiautomatic pistol and a 1911-style .45 ACP. Using two guns instead of three saves the expense of a third match-grade pistol, and it requires the shooter to accustom themselves to the recoil, grip, and trigger pull of only two guns. Optical sights are allowed, including conventional scopes and red dot sights, although many shooters still use open sights. You can also fire this entire match with a .22 Rimfire pistol. This match is typically fired one-handed, but new recreational shooters are welcome to shoot two-handed.

If you are not interested in NRA classification, winning some cash back, or shooting @ 50 yards we offer a recreational class just for you!
