THE TRAP KIDS
WORK FOR TIPS ONLY!
USPSA (United States Practical Shooting
Association)
Practical shooting is a sport that evolved from experimentation with
handguns used for self defense. The basic difference between IDPA and
USPSA is slightly different rules and longer rounds. Like IDPA, it
attempts to measure the ability to shoot rapidly and accurately with a
full power handgun, rifle, and/or shotgun. Those three elements-speed,
accuracy and power form the three sides of the practical shooting
triangle. By design, each match will measure a shooter's ability in all
three areas. To do this, shooters take on obstacle-laden shooting
courses (called stages) requiring anywhere from 6 to 30+ shots to
complete. Competitors move, negotiate obstacles, run, and speed-reload
through each of several courses as fast as their skills will allow.
There are competitive divisions for most handguns-from revolvers to
scope-sighted, recoil-compensated "race guns" developed just for this
sport. For more information, check out the official USPSA website:
www.uspsa.org
Fox Valley Practical Shooters use the County Road FF Range the first
Saturday of each month. Ripon USPSA shoots the 4th Saturday of each
month. They shoot March (weather permitting)-October. Set up will begin
at 8am. Registration can be done online or at the range from
8:30-9:30am. Match begins at 10:00am. Shooting is usually done by 1-2pm.
Cost is $25. RRPC members or those that help with setup/take down are
$20. Juniors to age 21 are $15. See
www.wisconsinshooters.com
for monthly details of match and scores.
IDPA (International Defensive Pistol
Association)
Held the second Saturday of every month April-October. Sign up starts at
8am, with a mandatory safety meeting at 8:45am. Matches start about 9am
and usually run until 1-2pm. Ear and eye protection are required. Cost
is $15 for members of RRPC and $25 for non-members.
IDPA emphasizes the use of practical equipment to solve simulated "real
life" scenarios. The main goal of IDPA is to test the skills and ability
of the individual shooter. Shooters are broken down into skill levels,
so shooters compete against others of equivalent skill. These matches
are open to any "SAFE" shooter--of all ages, abilities, and with skill
levels from Novice to Master. Anyone is welcome to come and watch with
proper ear and eye protection. So bring the family with you. We have a
growing number of wives, sons and daughters shooting matches and we
would like to see that number continue to increase. You will need very
little in the way of equipment: (1) A serviceable handgun of at least
9mm/.38 special or larger caliber; (2) At least 3 magazines or speed
loaders; (3) A strong side hip holster; (4) Eye and ear protection; (5)
100 rounds of ammunition; (6) Match fee; & (7) a good attitude and a
willingness to have FUN!
SASS (Single Action Shooting Society)
Held the third Saturday of every month April-October. Sign up starts at
8am with a mandatory safety meeting at 9am. Hearing and eye protection
are required. Cost is $20 for RRPC members and $22 for non-members.
Junior shooters aged 16 and younger are 1/2 price. Lunch is included.
As an affiliate of the Single Action Shooting Society, the Ripon Rifle &
Pistol Club has been hosting monthly Cowboy shoots since April 2000.
Anyone who has ever dreamed of being a cowboy or cowgirl will recognize
why this sport is growing so fast. Participants get to dress up as
cowpokes and shoot their 6-shooters, lever action rifles and shotguns at
metal targets in a scene from the Old West. You may get to shoot from an
outhouse, through the bars of a jail window, from a blackjack table, or
even dressed in a bonnet and apron. Fun and safety are the two main
ingredients of a Cowboy Action Shooting Match. Events are timed--the
faster you shoot, the better you score. However, each target missed will
add 5 seconds to your score. So the trick is to not go so fast that you
begin missing targets. Your fellow posse members will be happy to give
shooting tips as well as congratulations or good-natured ribbing,
depending on how you do! There are several different classes of shooters
as designated by SASS. There are classes for ladies, black powder
shooters, and duelist (shooting one-handed), traditionalist
(two-handed), and gunfighters. All cowpokes carry revolvers in their
holsters and shoot lever action rifles (in pistol calibers) and
shotguns. ALL Weapons must be copies of guns made before 1910, the end
of the cowboy era. Most of our shooters acquire their gear and guns a
little at a time as they go along--after all, it's the Cowboy Way to
share and we're always happy to share with new cowboys and cowgirls!
C'mon out and join Doc Bonecutter, One Shot, Dirty Deeds, Ambush and the
rest of the Liberty Prairie Regulators for fun-filled Saturday.

3 Gun
Matches will begin after 8:30am set up. Cost is $25. These matches will
be held at the Cty. Rd FF Range. More information at:
www.wisconsinshooters.com.
600 yard Long Range
600 Yard Long Range shooting is scheduled during the summer months. We
shoot for the fun of it. Participants may shoot from a prone position or
off a bench. We shoot 20 rounds per person and all participants will
take their turn in the target pit spotting and marking hits. Cost
is $15.00. Shoots are
always informal and friendly and an excellent way to practice shooting
rifles at long distance. If you wish to keep a score, we will provide
you with a score sheet. New shooters wishing to learn and practice are
encouraged to join us as there are always experienced shooters willing
to help. Cost is $15.
Ripon Rifle and Pistol Club
members may also shoot long range at other times but must move the
sawhorse into the driveway at the bottom of the hill to give any
arriving members warning that someone is shooting across the range. We
ask that you work with others also wishing to use the range. It is
suggested that pistol shooters use the new range on S. Koro Rd.
Zombie Shoot-
There are new loading benches for each shooting bay. Three people max
should be at the loading table. You will load all your firearms needed
for that stage and keep all your guns on the table. While at the table,
magazines can be placed in your guns, but nothing can be in the chamber.
You must also stay with your guns. If you need to walk away from the
table, all guns must remain on the table. When the timer operator calls
"next shooter", you will holster your handgun and carry your long guns
to the shooting table(s). After shooting, shooter will clear all guns
before leaving stage. (Exception: single action revolvers to be unloaded
at unloading table and checked clear before proceeding to cart.) We will
NO LONGER ALLOW loading guns on the line or at your gun cart. This
applies to all guns. All guns will now be loaded at the Loading Tables.
Magazines can be loaded wherever you need to as long as they are not
placed in your guns until you get to the loading table.
Remember--Our Zombie Shoots are an introduction to safe and fun
competition shooting. They are designed for new and experienced
shooters.
