This website is dedicated to the Sport of Competitive Action Pistol Shooting (Practical Shooting Sports)
New Shooters
We are dedicated to having fun matches that are safe and stages that challenge shooters of all abilities. Our goal is for The Minnesota Section of the United States Practical Shooting Association to grow and be as competitive as any in the United States, this is not possible without new shooters, we encourage new shooters to come out and shoot with us, don't be intimidated, we all started out as new shooters and in time you may be a Master shooter or even a Grand Master but this takes time and dedication. So come out and play with us, I promise we won't bite.

*7/1/09*   Our next match is July 12th, it had been a while since we have had a match it will nice to get back. The rest of our season will be Sunday matches, we had little or no control on our match dates so if Sunday matches don't work for you, we are sorry but that is all we could get. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the range. Dan Hefta

Thanks to everyone that helped out at our Points Match, the match was fun and we had little or no problems. A lot of people showed up early to help setup and words can't express how much we appreciate it. 72 shooters on opening fishing weekend is unbelievable, thanks for showing up and shooting, we had no DQ's which is allways a good thing. I hope that everyone enjoyed the match as much as I did.  Thanks again, Dan H
