Capitol City Rifle Club
THE MOST COMPLETE
SHOOTING CLUB IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN
CCRC PISTOL TEAM
Pistol Team competitions are held
indoors during the winter months and are open to anyone 14 and above.
Men, women, and the handicapped, of all ages and abilities, can enjoy
this sport. The team meets in a different location each week no more
than an hour away, to compete against another team from the league.
Matches are held Thursday evenings from late November to end of March.
Currently, there are 18 matches in the season.
Individual scores are kept for
each participant, with the top four scores recorded as the Team Score.
Because only the four highest scores are used as Team Score, everyone
who participates can have a great time no matter how well they shoot.
Pistols used are all .22 caliber with red dot sights or iron sights.
Representative brands are everything from Hammerli, Benelli and
Pardini, to High Standard, Sig Sauer and Ruger.
There is also a League match
held near the end of the season where all teams compete against each
other during one full day of competition, with individual scores and
team scores recorded. Awards are given at the end of the season at the
Annual Awards Banquet for high scorers, most improved, etc.
Once a year, usually in
February, there is an NRA sectional match held in Jackson for anyone
interested in participating.
All you need to compete is a
pistol, ammo, eye and ear protection, and a willingness to have a lot
of fun and meet new people.
