History and General Information
The Chelsea Rod & Gun club pistol shoot was started a few years
ago and soon became a standing committee. Generally speaking, the
pistol shoot is held the third Sunday of each month except for October
and November, but please be sure to check the CRG
Calendar. All pistol shoots start at 11:00 a.m. and go to
3:00 p.m. or until there is no more interest, i.e. if everyone leaves,
we’re not sticking around until 3:00. All pistol shoots are held
at our 50 yd. range. For more information contact Doug Wright: Ph: (734)-433-9107

Background and what to Expect
Are you prepared if you ever get in a situation where you need to use
that CCW permit? While no one will be shooting at you, our Chelsea
Rod and Gun Club action pistol shoot gives you a chance to practice shooting
using some real world situations. We will be shooting at International
Defensive Pistol Association approved targets that vary in distance
from 3 to 15 yards. Situations may involve only one target or it
could be multiple targets in various sequences and number of shots.
There may be “hostages” in harms way. We may be moving to cover or
starting behind it. You may have to open a door and make a quick
decision. All shooting will be for scored for speed and accuracy
and it works like golf, the lower the score the better, but most of all
we have lots of FUN. It is also a great way to reinforce everything
you learned in your CCW class. All experience levels are welcome.
Remember, everyone is a rookie at some point. The only thing we ask
is that you know how your gun works and you are comfortable using it, because
safety really is No. 1 at our shoots.
What to Bring
A pistol or revolver, preferably with at least six rounds capacity,
but if not, we’ll make adjustments. We currently have no restrictions
on caliber, brand or model, but since this is “defensive pistol shooting”,
we try to keep it to what people actually might use for CCW.
Ammunition (bring as much as you want to shoot, but plan on 50-100 rounds).
Generally speaking, we go through three stages per round and each stage
takes at least six cartridges with a maximum of twelve. We try to
make it through three rounds, so do the math when planning how much to
bring. Currently we have no restrictions on type of ammunition, so
reloads are okay. Most people use ball ammo because it is cheaper,
but if you want to practice with your personal defense round, feel free
to use it.
A holster, if you have one, strong side hip holsters only. NO
shoulder, small of the back, or cross draw holsters for safety reasons.
Two magazines or speed loaders for your pistol/revolver. If you do
not have a holster we will work around it. Eye protection is mandatory
and hearing protection is strongly advised.
Friends, spouses and neighbors. All are welcome. Why should you
have all the fun?
What Does it Cost?
The cost of the shoot is $5.00. This will allow you to shoot
from 11 am -3 pm and shoot as many rounds as you want.
