Summer hours in effect APRIL 1 !

WELCOME

The White Mountain Practical Shooters is a USPSA/IPSC club. We were founded in 1998 with the objective of Being Safe and having FUN!

If you enjoy your firearms, and want to protect your rights to own and use firearms, contact your legislators and let them know your feelings.

PRACTICAL SHOOTING

Practical shooting is a sport enjoyed all over the world. It involves the use of firearms in simulated situations where you might be forced to defend yourself. Handguns are our primary focus, with two matches a month (weather permitting) on the 2nd Sunday and 4th Saturday of each month. A Rifle match is held on the 2nd Saturday of each month. 3 Gun matches are held the 1st Saturday every other month (On Hold). A Special Classifier Pistol match will be held opposite of the 3 Gun match on the 1st Saturday of every other month (On Hold). Check the Schedule & Results page for specific dates.

The "stages" that are set up for handguns include targets that are placed anywhere from point blank distance to 50 yards away. They may be paper targets, steel plates, or knock down steel targets called “Pepper Poppers” after their inventor, John Pepper. After the course of fire is described to everyone, you get to try your hand at the course. We rarely repeat a course of fire, so the challenges are always different. Your score is divided by your time, measuring both speed and accuracy. The person with the best score in the shortest time is the winner, although we place no emphasis on winning.

We want you to: A) be safe, B) have fun, and C) learn something.
