Every Sunday morning at 10:00 AM (Beginning April 1st, match start time is 9:00 AM), , AAF&G hosts an informal bullseye 900 match at the club pistol range. A 900 match consists of 90 shots, with each shot worth a maximum of 10 points (90 X 10 = 900). The entire match takes approximately one hour and fourty minutes to complete. Since shooting starts at 10:00, its a good idea to arrive at the range by 9:45 (8:45 AM after April 1st) so you have a few minutes to get set up. Fee for the match is $3.00. Due to the Sunday caliber restrictions, the match is shot with .22 caliber only. During the six sanctioned weekends where typical shooting hours are extended, center-fire calibers (e.g. .45 ACP) can be fired at the match.
When you come to a match, all you need bring is a .22 caliber pistol (preferably a semi-automatic), cartridges, and of course hearing and eye protection. It also helps to have a stapler, some masking tape, a small clipboard and a pencil. AAF&G supplies the cardboard target backers, targets and score sheets.
Most firing is done at 25-yards. During the Spring and Summer, slow-firing is usually done at 50 yards, including the slow-fire stage of the National Match Course. All timed and rapid fire is done at 25 yards. During timed and rapid fire, the 25-yard targets frames are edged and then turned to face the shooters for 10 (rapid-fire) or 20 (timed-fire) seconds.
Bullseye shooting is a great way to learn pistol shooting fundamentals and develop shooting skills. While the Sunday morning pistol league matches are basically run and called like NRA-registered matches, they are less formal in nature. For instance, some shooters like to shoot using two hands. The point is to have fun and to develop or maintain shooting skills at the same time.
