Practical Pistol Lite will continue every other Monday through September from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at the Pistol House, so check the calendar for the correct Monday. The theme has changed to address more personal protection and actual defensive shooting and less timed shooting. If you want to see how fast you can shoot a course, this is not the activity for you. Make sure to bring your semi-auto pistol (9mm up to 45 cal), holster, 3 magazines, mag holster and at least 50 rounds. Plus we will include a stage for the tactical shotgun. Starting time will be 5:00 pm at the Pistol House and continue on for about 2 hours. Call Tom Frickell 303-971-5493.
PRACTICAL PISTOL LITE – LADIES ONLY
Practical Pistol Lite for Ladies Only will continue every other Monday through September from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at the Pistol House. This is a new activity and is for women shooters only - men can watch, only if you are there with a shooter, but will not participate. Men may instruct if part of the official instructors’ group, otherwise they must be silent and patient. Participants can shoot anything from a .22 caliber up to a .45 caliber, revolvers or semi-autos will be allowed. Holsters are not necessary but would benefit the learning process. Men, tell your friends, wives, daughters, granddaughters about this and get them out to the range. It is your chance to shine. Ladies, it is your chance to have some great fun and enhance your skills. The picture below shows most of the regular attending shooters. Do they look like they are having fun??
