Membership Guide
WELCOME TO THE OKLAHOMA CITY GUN CLUB
The Oklahoma City Gun Club was incorporated in 1958. The Gun Club has grown to
an organization, which includes approximately 2,200 members and over 20 Active
Divisions encompassing a broad range of the shooting disciplines. We work closely
with many organizations and associations to support our sports and to promote
involvement, awareness, and safety.
The Oklahoma City Gun Club is dedicated to providing a safe, comprehensive
environment to enjoy a broad range of shooting sports. Our goal is to spread the
interest and enthusiasm for each of the shooting disciplines and to ensure the
continuation of our Rights and heritage through continued involvement with programs for the community,
juniors, women, military, law enforcement, family, and friends. The Gun Club requires NRA membership.
Although many events are open to the public, the Oklahoma City Gun Club is a private club. The Board of Trustees
sets the ceiling on membership slots, and there are periodic waiting lists. Competitions are open to the public and
occur typically between April thru October especially on the weekends.
IMPORTANT NOTES


If you are on a range, hearing and eye protection is always mandatory for all participants and guests.
Oklahoma City Gun Club badges are to be worn at all times.
CALENDER AND MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
The Gun Club maintains a calendar of events at www.OKCgunclub.org. It represents the most current
information available. The newsletter calendar is a copy of that calendar as of a week or so before the newsletter
goes to press. For the most current information available, check the online calendar on a regular basis.
On the first of each month, the Gun Club publishes a monthly electronic newsletter called the “Primer,” which
contains information on upcoming events, match results, and general club information. This newsletter also
contains the names and phone numbers for all of the Division Chairpersons and Board Members so that you may
contact them for information or to schedule your workday. It is important to visit the website and read the
“Primer” each month for the latest Gun Club news!

Oklahoma City Gun Club (mailing address)
PO Box 21067
The Range is located north of the town of Arcadia, east of Edmond. From I-35, take Exit 141, which is the old route
66 eastbound. Arcadia is approximately 7 miles. Just past the middle of the town is a left turn for Anderson Road.
You may also continue further east beyond Arcadia for another mile to Hiwassee Road and turn left.
Both roads work; the difference is more a matter of which entrance to the Club you are looking for. Action Pistol,
Cowboy, Blackpowder, and Shotgun are closest via Hiwassee. The other ranges are closest to the Anderson Road
entrance.
In either case, proceed northbound for approximately 3 miles until you arrive at Sorghum Mill Road (also marked
as NE 234th Street). Then:

From Anderson Road, turn right and look for the main entrance to the Gun Club about 100 yards on your left.

From Hiwassee, continue beyond the Sorghum Mill/234th Street turnoff and continue northbound. The
shotgun area is about 3/10th of a mile on your left, and the Action Pistol, Cowboy, and Black Powder ranges
are about 6/10th of a mile on the left.

MEMBERSHIP DUES AND WORK DAYS
Membership dues the first year are $300 ($200 annual dues plus a $100 initiation fee). Deadline for dues to be paid
is December 31. New members will begin as Associate members. Dues will depend on whether you complete a
Work Day during the year. A Work Day can be anything from helping with a match on one of the ranges to cutting
brush and mowing. The Gun Club has several scheduled work days during the year and the various Divisions
schedule workdays for just their range. You are responsible for making arrangements and completing your
workday obligation. Gun Club members receive an $80.00 credit each year by completing a Work Day.
With current individual membership, Gun Club members are allowed to invite immediate family to participate
with them while on the shooting range. Participation requires no additional fee. Family members must be joined
by a current Gun Club member and must shoot from the same firing point.

INTRODUCTION
New to IPSC, International Practical Shooting Confederation? You are in for a great experience. Of all the action
shooting sports, there is nothing quite like it. Within the IPSC Divisions, there is a place for everyone to shoot on a
“level playing field” in terms of equipment, shooting ability, and experience. IPSC enjoys an enviable safety
record. We enjoy the camaraderie as much as the shooting and always have fun! There are three rules: Be Safe, Be
Courteous, Have Fun . . .
Most of us started out by asking some questions, and maybe coming to watch a match. There hasn't been much
in the way of “easing into the sport”. Generally, you start by jumping right in. Assuming that you have a
serviceable firearm that you are familiar with you don't need much else other than a desire. When you show up for
your first match, introduce yourself as a first time IPSC shooter and we'll make sure you get a range briefing
covering the basic rules and then make sure you are on a squad with experienced IPSC shooters.
IPSC shooting differs from many other shooting sports in its blend of action, speed, and accuracy. Unlike sports
such as Bullseye or Silhouette Shooting, IPSC competitor shoots a course of fire called a “Stage,” engaging a wide
variety of targets against time. Each stage requires many shots, frequently taken while moving. It is not
uncommon to shoot 30 rounds or more on a given Stage in 30 seconds or less. The IPSC motto DVC says it all:
Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas - Accuracy, Power, Speed.
Shooters compete with a variety of handguns, 9mm or larger. There
are various divisions depending upon the configuration of the firearm
used and minimum power factors required. Stages include a wide
variety of targets that may include multiple targets in an array, targets
that react when hit, targets that move, targets that are partially
obscured, no-shoots, steel plates, etc. A course of fire may require the
shooter to move, shoot through small ports or barrels, around
barricades, etc., and perform rapid reloads. Many Stages involve
shooting from seated, prone, or kneeling positions, two handed grip
(freestyle), strong-hand only, or weak-hand only shooting. Most well
designed Stages allow for individual shooter creativity. There are
usually many ways to shoot a course of fire, allowing the competitors to
best balance their performance.
While competitors of varied skill categories and classifications shoot
together, scores are ultimately sorted out by firearm divisions, power
factor, and shooter skill level. This allows shooters of all abilities to
share experiences, shooting styles, and strategy. Within the IPSC
Division, we hold three matches each month:




IPSC Pistol Match on the first Saturday of every month
ICORE Match on the third Saturday through December
Steel Challenge Matches alternate months with ICORE
3-Gun is held on the fourth Saturday (NOTE: 3-GUN IS CANCELLED FOR THE TIME BEING)

Membership Guide
ACTION PISTOL DIVISION, continued
Match sign in usually begins about 9:15 AM and start time about 10:00 AM. Matches are open to the public. You
do not need to be an Oklahoma City Gun Club Member. Match fees are $15 for non-members and $10 for
members. 3-Gun match fees are $20 for non-members and $15 for members. Always check the website for
updated Action Pistol information!
IPSC MATCHES
Monthly IPSC matches are open to the public. You do not need to be a USPSA member to shoot however, in order
to become classified you must join and shoot at least 4 classifiers to obtain initial classification in a division. For
more information and YouTube videos on IPSC, visit www.USPSA.org.
IPSC ORIENTATION
From time to time, we hold an IPSC Orientation for new shooters. The orientation includes a detailed range
briefing, discussion of equipment and scoring, followed by shooting a couple of stages in a non-competitive
environment. The Orientation is free, and the only things needed are a serviceable firearm, a simple holster,
hearing and eye protection, a couple of magazines, and about 50 rounds of ammunition. Remember: The
Orientation is not required before you start shooting; it's just another way to learn about the sport.
ICORE
ICORE, the International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts, is an “Action” shooting competition where the
equipment and course design rules are specifically written for revolver shooters. Courses of fire include drawing
from your holster, reloading, and movement. In this regard it is much like USPSA competition. The principle
differences are that the equipment is limited to revolvers of 32 magnum calibers or larger and that all courses
must be designed to be six rounds neutral. We use the NRA D-1 target, as well as steel, and a time plus scoring
method that is somewhat simpler than IPSC scoring and places a greater emphasis on accuracy.
To compete you will need a revolver in safe condition of the proper caliber, a secure holster that will cover the
trigger, and at least 4 speed loaders. Some of the longer field courses will push this limit so it is sometimes handy
to have some extras. You will need hearing and eye protection. Most matches can be done with about three
boxes of ammo (150 rounds).
First time shooters pay no match fee and arriving early to help set up earns you a match fee discount. Spectators
are always welcome, but the game is more fun to play than watch. Setup starts at 7:30 AM on match day. Sign in
starts at 9:30 AM and shooting starts at 10:00 AM. The match is scored while the stages are broken down and put
away and awards/recognition occurs immediately thereafter.
STEEL CHALLENGE
Steel Challenge matches at the Oklahoma City Gun Club recognize Open, Limited, and .22 Divisions. Whether you
come out and watch a match or 'jump right in' like most of us have, Steel Challenge is an exciting shooting discipline
that combines speed and accuracy in a fun format that can be enjoyed by almost anyone at any level of experience.
3-GUN (CANCELLED FOR THE TIME BEING)
A fast growing segment of our sport is called 3-Gun which is basically IPSC with handguns, rifle, and shotgun. 3Gun matches involve a lot of equipment and ammunition. A wagon, range cart, or something of that sort is highly
recommended.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
IPSC matches take a lot of work to set up and run. Help is always appreciated; if you can, arrive a little early and
offer to help setup, or stay a little afterward and help break down. During the matches, after the range is declared
safe by the RO, help pick up brass, tape targets, reset steel targets, etc. Just a little effort by everyone makes it go
much smoother and everyone has a better time.

INTRODUCTION
Air Gun Silhouette is a new division at the Gun Club. Matches are held inside the Main Club House on the second
Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM. This is a fun sport for the entire family as we shoot at steel animals with AIR
rifles or pistols! Are you new to the sport? Before buying equipment, first visit a match so you can place gun in
hand and try ! Your first match is free!
If you do not have an AIR rifle or pistol, we have guns you can shoot in the match before you decide to buy. There
are two rifle classes, one open sight and one scope. Same with the pistols, there are classes set up for both open
sight and scopes. The pistol area is sanctioned by IHMSA which sanctions our .22 rimfire and center fire pistols on
the silhouette range. Rifles must have a velocity of no more than 550 - 750 fps.
All in all it is a fun shooting sport for all ages. After watching, I'm sure you will get involved too! In this sport you
don't shoot holes in paper, you shoot at steel animals and when hit they fall over:

chickens
10 yds

pigs
12-1/2 yds

turkeys
15 yds

rams
18 yds
The targets are in steel cabinets with sand traps in the
bottom. The shooter immediately sees something
happen. Entry fee for juniors is only $1.00, $5.00 for adults.
Juniors shoot free with an adult entry.
EXCITING 2014 EVENTS

INTRODUCTION
The Archery Practice Range is open to Gun Club members at any time year round. We encourage your entire
family to visit a shoot. The organized tournament 3-D Shoot dates may be found on the main Gun Club calender.
You may also follow the ARCHERY DIVISION on Facebook at OKCGC Archery.
WHAT IS 3D ARCHERY?
The term 3D archery generally refers shooting at 3 dimensional life-like targets made from self healing foam in
situations which would mimic real life hunting experiences. Early use of the targets was primarily for bow hunting
practice but over time, shooting clubs began setting up courses to challenge hunters which led to more
competitive venues leading into what we know today as 3D archery. Most early targets where made to resemble
deer but today, manufacturers like Rinehart and Mackenzie make all kinds of animals in various sizes.
Whether you want to shoot for practice or plan on competing, 3D is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with friends
and family while gaining valuable experience shooting your bow. Setting up a 3D venue could be as simple as a
single target in your yard or as large as a national event run by an archery organization as ASA, Archery Shooters
Association, or IBO, International Bowhunting Organization.

Shoot what you have. There is nothing special needed to get started in 3D archery, just a desire to have fun! Bring
a bow and field point tipped arrows - everything else including a sight and release are optional. When you attend
an event, you may see high tech target rigs with long stabilizers but they are not needed to do well - many archers
do extremely well with a recurve or long bow. Remember, as you start shooting 3D events, HAVE FUN! No need to
even keep score if you don’t want to.

If you just want to practice - Great!

If you want to be serious and compete - Great!
ARCHERY SAFETY
If you have never been to an event like 3D before, be sure to ask about
range safety and etiquette. Here are basic things to consider:

Safety is of primary concern so know what you are shooting at
and what is behind it. Be sure any children with you stay
behind the current shooter at all times.

Be courteous to other shooters by not talking while other
members of your group are at the shooting stake. Don’t let
kids goof around!

ARCHERY DIVISION, continued

Don’t spend too much time at the stake glassing the target or guessing yardage. Most 3D organizations
set time limits on how long you can be at the stake to ensure the event moves along well. You should not
need more than 1-2 minutes once in a position to shoot.

Since these events are meant to involve all genders and ages, be cordial and do not use foul language.

Typically 2 separate people keep score and one calls the shots. Cards are compared at the end to confirm
no mistakes were made in adding up the score.

For outdoor events, bring something to drink and snack on – the walk through courses can exceed 1 mile
in length and take several hours. You may also want to take an Allen wrench set and an extra release (if
you use one). An umbrella is also nice if you care to take one on a rainy day.

If your group is moving slower than others, allow the groups behind you to “shoot through” to keep the
event on track. If you are consistently being passed by groups of similar size, you are likely going too slow
and should consider picking up the pace.

Group sizes are typically from 3 (min) to 5 or 6 (max) depending on the event. At large competitive events,
you will not be permitted to shoot in a group which just includes your friends/family.

If you miss a target, don’t spend too much time looking for the arrow as it will back up the entire event.
Just like hunting, misses do occur and arrows will be lost. Be sure to bring 8 or more arrows with you on
the course.

Have Fun! Don’t think you need to shoot perfect . . . just enjoy yourself.

If the event is large, a shotgun start may be
utilized where groups are assigned to a specific
target then the group walks out to that target.
At a set time, the event organizer will utilize
some kind of signal to let shooters know they
can begin. This would only be used to start the
event – after the group shoots the target
assigned to start at, the group would proceed to
the next numbered shooting lane (again, like
golf, if you start on #5 in a shotgun start, your
second hole would be #6).
ARCHERY WORK DAYS AND VOLUNTEERS
There are many opportunities to volunteer within the
ARCHERY DIVISION. These include set up, light manual
labor, sign in shooters, collect scorecards, enter scores,
data entry, tear down. Visit the Archery website and sign
up online.

All scheduled matches are “open matches”. Be sure to check the Gun Club Calendar, www.OKCgunclub.org, for
dates and times. Be prepared to post your targets as soon as you arrive so you can go down range as soon as it
opens. Bring a spotting scope to see your target so you do not slow down other shooters.
Rules for use of the range are posted at the range; be sure to review them. NOTE: The Benchrest Range has
posted a slug-only rule for shotguns! If you want to pattern your shotgun, there are facilities available at
the Shotgun Range!
There is a unisex restroom located at the southeast corner of the scoring building. There is no reason to not bring
the entire family to the range.
Benchrest opportunities for Gun Club members include:

BENCHREST RANGE RULES

Safety is the most important thing! “Cease Fire” means NO gun will be fired until the problem has been
cleared up and range has been opened.

Read and obey the rules posted at the Benchrest Range.

Common sense should rule all or your actions. There is no room for horseplay.

All rounds should go through the target backers and into the earthen berms.

No shots are to be shot into the air or unaimed such as shooting from the hip.

Shoot only at the targets in your lane. Never fire across the range.

If you need to go down range to check or remove targets, check with everyone first. Don’t shout, “I am
going down range,” and take off. Most people won’t be able to hear you and some may be firing a string
checking their loads for accuracy, etc.

When going down range, the Range Officer will make sure that all guns are cleared with the bolt open and
magazines removed and in the rack before shouting the range is closed.

No guns will be handled while anyone is downrange.

The Range Officer will make certain that everyone is back at the benchrest area before announcing that
the range is open or that you can commence firing.

Never use the term, “Fire in the hole.” That term is used by those working with explosives and we are not
digging holes or throwing grenades on the Benchrest Range. Rambo movies are not training films.

Do not handle anyone elses gun without permission. If you want to look, most would be more than
happy to let you handle their gun as it gives them a chance to brag about their equipment. Always ask
first.

Do not bring your dog to the range.

The Benchrest Range is used by almost every Gun Club member. The range is open for general shooting
anytime from sun up to sun down except when there is a scheduled match.

No prone shooting (laying down) at the Benchrest Range.

No shooting from in front of the benches.

Absolutely no paint ball guns.

There is no smoking on the Benchrest line. Go to the parking lot.

No one is to be in front of the firing line when the range is open for shooting.

Safety first, last, and foremost!

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this competition is to bring the older military bolt action rifles out of the closets and gun safes and
back onto the ranges through competition and companionship of other shooters having similar interests. The
spirit is to provide such competition at a minimal cost and to avoid having the competition become a dollar race
as has occurred in many shooting sports.
Open to anyone wanting to shoot in one of the Military Bolt Action matches. First read the rules located on the
Military Bolt Action Rifle website. If you have a gun that is within the rules then bring it out and have a good time
with us. This is a very friendly competition that is done mainly for fun.
We meet on the first Saturday of every month and shoot year round except during inclement weather. Meet at
8:00 AM, April thru September, and at 9:00AM , October thru March. Always check the website for the most
current information. For first time shooters, sign up by contacting Ron Doggett prior to a match date.
The competition is limited to bolt action, centerfire, “as issued” or
“stack” rifles such as would have been issued to the average recruit of a
recognized military organization. Special versions of these rifles such
as “sniper” rifles or .22 caliber training rifles are not acceptable as they
are special purpose weapons and cannot be considered “as issued”.
Even if you don't have a gun and are just interested come on out and
see what it's about. This is a list of the most common used in the
matches.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Bullseye Pistol Range. Bullseye shooting, one of the oldest pistol disciplines, is very rewarding
and is also very useful for helping other disciplines. You can get into a match with very little equipment and what
you need to start is relatively cheap. Just a .22LR handgun and ammo is all you need to get started. A spotting
scope is also very useful. New shooters to Bullseye will get to shoot their first match FREE!!! (excludes State and
Regional matches)
The Bullseye Range was built primarily for NRA Bullseye pistol competitions. If you are unfamiliar with this type of
shooting you can come out and get a work day in by serving as a Line Safety Officer and at the same time see how
the Match is run. Also through out the year we will have classes for new shooters to the Bullseye shooting
discipline. Classes are FREE and open to both Gun Club members and the public. Bring a friend. Most Bullseye
Matches are on the third Saturday but there are Training Days and Short Course Matches on different dates so be
sure to check the calendar.
Before you start shooting be sure you READ and UNDERSTAND the rules posted on the west storage building. Any
unsafe activities can get you banned from the Bullseye Pistol Range and maybe even from the Gun Club. THINK

INTRODUCTION
The Cowboy Action Division of the Oklahoma City Gun Club is recognized by The Single Action Shooting Society,
as the Territorial Marshals. In addition to hosting two Cowboy Matches per month and one Wild Bunch Match per
month, The Territorial Marshals also host the Land Run National Shootout, a SASS sanctioned, nationally
recognized, Cowboy Action Match. The sport of Cowboy Action Shooting provides a great opportunity for the
entire family to participate and compete in a shooting sport.
The Gun Club's Cowboy Division continues to grow. A related monthly match, The Wild Bunch, was added in
2011. Monthly match attendance is exceeding 100 participants. Land Run - Cowboy Action National Shootout,
which was originally limited to 300 competitors, has grown along with
the expansion of our facility to allow for more shooters. Land Run 2012
had 337 participants and 2013 exceeded 375. In addition to
competitors who come from all over the United States and several
foreign countries, numerous volunteers help make Land Run one of
the premier matches in the United States.
NEW SHOOTERS
Are you new to the sport? Did you know approximately 25% of the
shooters are women? Don’t buy new equipment until you are
introduced to Cowboy Action Shooting! Contact Flat Top Okie to let
him know you are going to attend a monthly match and they will
provide ammo and firearms.
LAND RUN
The Land Run 2013 was the twentieth anniversary. The popularity of
Land Run continues to grow and match attendance is exceeded only
by The SASS National Championship and The SASS World
Championship. Land Run 2014 takes place on April 24-27.
COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING
Cowboy Action Matches are held the second Saturday and fourth
Sunday of each month. Cowboy Action Shooting is a multifaceted
shooting sport in which contestants compete with firearms typical of
those used in the taming of the Old West; single action revolvers
(calibers .32 to .45), lever action rifles (calibers .25 to .45 long colt), and
side-by-side double barrel or pre-1899 pump or lever action shotguns
(12, 16 or 20 gauge). One exception, children under 13 are referred to
as a Buckaroo and are allowed to use .22s and 410s.
The shooting competition is staged in a unique OLD WEST style.
Cowboy attire is required, which is anything from boots and jeans to
clothing that personifies a specific western character. For beginners
(long sleeved shirts and jeans will do - no tank tops, shorts or ball caps
Page 22 of 36

allowed). You will soon discover that part of the fun is the costume and of course the alias. All real Cowboy
shooters have an alias (Oklahoma Gunslinger or Flat Top Okie) which should be associated with your costume.
You can be a movie star and never have to go to Hollywood.
With a variety of shooting categories, some based on shooting styles, some based on costuming, and some age or
gender based, there will definitely be a shooting category for you. Cowboy Action Shooting is fast action , fantasy
shooting competition.
THE WILD BUNCH RIDES AGAIN
Wild Bunch Matches are held the Sunday following the second Saturday Cowboy Match. Wild Bunch is a
combination of SASS Cowboy Action Shooting using Model 1911 pistols instead of six-guns. In addition to The
Model 1911 in (.45 ACP caliber), lever action rifles (1860 to 1899 - .40 caliber or larger), and Model1897 or Model 12
pump shotguns (12 gauge). Steel targets are used, as in Cowboy shooting, so lead bullets only please.

High Power Rifle Range
see map on page 3
INTRODUCTION
You belong to one of the nicest known distance High Power Rifle facilities in this part of the country. The High
Power Rifle Division is dedicated to the promotion of rifle marksmanship with a focus on competitive shooting.
Match Programs can be found on the website under Registered Matches. Juniors are always welcome! Bring a
friend! For new shooters, a great way to learn more is to help or do your Work Day during a match.
Competition within this division falls within three categories:

Across the Course Matches: in general, meet the last Sunday
of every month. High power rifle shooting “across the course”
is based upon what is known as The National Match Course.
This is a 50 shot course consisting of 10 rounds fired slow fire
from the standing position at 200 yards. Ten rounds rapid fire
in a 60 second time limit in the sitting position at 200 yards. Ten
rounds rapid fire in a 70 second time limit in the prone position
at 300 yards and then 20 rounds fired slow fire in the prone
position from 600 yards.

Prone Matches: “3 x 600 Matches” and “Any Rifle Any Sight
Matches” All prone courses of fire are conducted in a slow fire
format with two sighting shots in a time limit of one minute per
shot including sighters. Competitors fire one shot at a time,
single loaded, with the target being pulled and marked after
each shot.

M1 Garand, Springfield, and Vintage Rifle Matches
Members must go through a brief orientation before using the
High Power Range. Email the Chairman for an appointment.
A “Basic Rifle Marksmanship” and “Introduction to High Power” class are
each conducted annually. Members interested in High Power are
strongly encouraged to attend. Also, most any club member who
competes within this division will be willing to provide assistance, and
advice if asked. Some times you don't even have to ask!
See our Schedule of Events for our Training, Matches, Work Days, and
dates the range will be closed for military and police department use.
RANGE USE
Use the range for its intended purposes which includes high power rifle
fire practice and competition. This is not a sight in range for deer or
varmint rifles nor is it an overflow range for the Benchrest Range. On
rare occasions the range may be used for long range rifle zeroing (sight
in) but this must be cleared with the High Power Rifle Division Chairman.

RANGE USE PRIORITY


Work Details: mowing, weed eating, etc.

Match Use

Organized Practice Sessions

Sanctioned Match practice by individuals

Other shooting
HIGH POWER RANGE RULES
Philosophy:

The High Power Range has been designed with the pursuit of excellence in long-range shooting as its
goal. It is not a plinking range, nor is it an overflow range. It is designed for organized competition and
practice out to a distance of 600 yards and nothing else.
The rules:

Only paper targets may be used, and your shots must impact the center of the target frame.

Targets must be tasteful. Silhouettes are fine, animals are fine, bulls-eyes are fine, political figures are not!

No calibers above .35, and in the .223 / .556 caliber, 600 yard shooting should be done with 62-grain or
heavier bullets.

No incendiaries, explosives, or armor-piercing ammunition.

If you staple targets, pull your staples at the end of practice...they can injure others!

Eye protection in the pits is mandatory. A billed hat is recommended, as is some sort of hearing
protection.

Some sort of two-way communication between the firing line and the pit must be worked out by the
shooter/ shooters. Car horns, radios, compressed air horns, or waiting until the shooter arrives in the pit
are fine. Be advised that cell phones will not work in the pit.

Because of the distances involved, bringing someone along to pull targets for you is recommended. It is
your responsibility to familiarize them with range procedures and safety considerations.
What to do when you arrive at the range:

Look down-range and see if anyone is there.

Unfold the “RANGE IN USE,” sign at the 600 yard-line.

Put up the “Range in Use” sign at the entrance to the range road.

Visually inspect each and every yard line as you travel to the 200 yard-line.

Put up the red range flag at the 200 yard-line.

Go to the pits and prepare your targets.

Remember that no matter how hard the wind is blowing, it's better than being at work.

INTRODUCTION
The Plinking Divisin is an informal range for all types of handgun - rimfire to center-fire.
Attention Plinking Range users: There is a safety issue with regard to use of the Plinking Range that has come to
our attention. As constructed and as intended to be used, the Plinking Range is safe and all bullets are properly
contained within the berm. Apparently there have been some cases where shots have been fired that impact the
ground well in front of the plate racks - possibly shooting at targets that have been placed on the ground.
It is very important that absolutely no targets be placed directly on the ground. When the bullets impact the
ground at such an angle they could ricochet and leave the bay. For safety reasons, all shots must impact the berm.
Please observe the posted rules for use of the Plinking Range and only engage the plate racks when using this
range.
PLINKING RANGE RULES

Please shoot at the steel plate targets only.

Please shoot at the targets as assigned below and marked above.

.22 on left, center fire pistol on 2 center ranges, magnum pistol on right.

Do not shoot cover over targets.

Pickup your trash.

No center fire .22’s are to be used on Plinking Range.

Shoot only from behind the firing line benches.

No center fire rifle rounds are to be used on the Plinking Range.
Please notify Marc McCormick with questions or broken targets.
Enjoy yourself and be safe!

GUNS AND EQUIPMENT
Any shotgun (pump action, semi-automatic, side-by-side, or
over/under) capable of holding 2 shells (although never load
more than 2 at any time on the range) can be used to shoot skeet.
Registered skeet targets are shot with the 12, 20, 28 gauge and
.410 bore shotguns. Eye and ear protection are a MUST while on
the range either shooting or scoring; and a vest or bag for
carrying shells and empty hulls is needed.
SKEET INFORMATION
Skeet is a shotgun sport in which a shooter fires at clay targets
while progressing through 8 stations around a semi-circular
field. The targets are thrown from a high house on the left, and a
low house on the right, so they cross a point in the center of the
field at a height of 15 feet.
TRAP INFORMATION
Trap is a shotgun sport in which the shooter fires at clay targets thrown from a single trap house, while the shooter
stands on one of 5 stations graduated from 16 to 27 yards behind the trap house. It is normally shot with a 12
gauge gun. The guns most commonly used for trap are the semi-auto and over/under.

www.OKCgunclub.org/BPCRS
Location:
Silhouette Range
INTRODUCTION
As part of the Silhouette Division, this match is conducted on the second Sunday of the month, March thru
November, at the Silhouette Range. The rifles used are the traditional type in use during the 1870-1900 time
period - strictly black powder and lead alloy bullets. No gas checks or jacketed bullets allowed. The only black
powder substitute allowed is Pyrodex.
Rifles common to the era are: the 1874-1875 Sharps, 1885 Winchester, Remington Rolling-Blocks, and Stevens
44,1-1/2. There are many more rifles, too many to list here, suitable for this type shooting. Modern reproductions
are acceptable.
Calibers most commonly in use are the .40-65 Winchester and the .45-70 Winchester. You will also see the .38-55
Winchester, .38-50 Remington Hepburn, .40-70 Sharps Straight, and the .45-90 Winchester. Cartridges of lesser
power are not desirable because they will not consistently knock over the targets and those of greater power are
usually unnecessarily powerful & not needed to insure knocking over targets.
Normally, sighting equipment consists of a tang mounted vernier rear and a globe type front sight using
interchangeable inserts. Apertures or post are the most common.
There is also a growing interest in the newly formed scope category. Scopes are of the traditional style in use
during the 1860-1900 time frame. There are three (3) or four (4) brands available with the Montana Vintage Arms
being the most popular.
The targets are of steel plate, cut to resemble full sized animals:

The 200M target is a silhouette of a Chicken. Shot in the standing position.

The Pig is positioned at 300M and shot from the sitting or prone position using crossed sticks.

The Turkey is at 385M.

The Ram is at 500M. Again, shot from the sitting or prone position using crossed sticks.
Ten (10) shots for score at each animal at each of the four (4) distances. Unlimited sighters shots are allowed for
each animal prior to going for score. Keeping in mind you will have a seven (7) minute time limit for the first five (5)
shots for record. The second five (5) shots for record will have a five (5) minute time limit, and sighters are not
allowed. Approximately sixty (60) rounds are required for a complete match.
This is a highly competitive and highly rewarding sport. Using the equipment and the basic technology available
to the shooter and hunter of the late 1800s to hit the steel animal sized targets from 200M out to 500M distances.
There are also Black Powder Target Rifle type matches, shot at paper bulls-eye targets at ranges of 200 yds, 300 yds,
and 600 yds. For the more adventurous types, there are the Creedmore matches shot from 800, 900, and 1000 yds.
Again, at bulls-eye targets. There are also Quigley Matches shot at very long distances -- generally, exceeding
1000 Yds.
If you feel you would like to participate in this type competition, or just want to know more about it, come on out
on the second Sunday of the month beginning in March.
If you can not wait until then, give me a call: Joe Garcia (405) 381-2470.

INTRODUCTION
We welcome anyone wanting to shoot International Handgun Metallic
Silhouette Association, IHMSA, at the Gun Club. If you have not shot
this before then your first time is FREE!!! Don't be discouraged if you do
not have one of the specialty guns. Just bring what you have. Many
Gun Club members will be happy to let you use their gun and even
provide assistance. Every member encourages you and wants you to
do well. So come on out and bring a friend. You will wonder why you
never tried it sooner. The Silhouette Range at the Gun Club utilizes a
new remote controlled auto target reset system.
WHAT IS IHMSA?
The IHMSA organization started in 1976 with the purpose of
promoting handgun silhouette competition. The object of the
competition is to knock down metallic silhouettes (chickens, pigs,
turkeys and rams) at various ranges to a maximum of 200 meters. The
sport has spread to many countries and matches are shot all over the
USA. Many of the innovations you see in hand gunning today came
from the sport of Pistol Silhouettes and the International Handgun
Metallic Silhouette Association.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Many different types of matches are shot and there is always one to suit
any member of the family. The matches vary according to handgun
type ( Air Pistol to .22 to big bore) and shooting position (standing to
free style). We pride ourselves in our diversity as IHMSA is open to men,
women and children of all ages and physical abilities.
IT’S SIMPLE AND EXCITING!
Hit a steel target and knock it over. You will find silhouette shooters
helpful and friendly and more than willing to go out of their way to
assist you. The game is actually very simple and you probably already
own a handgun that qualifies for competition. It will make you the
absolute best pistol shot you can be!

INTRODUCTION
In December 1999, the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma City Gun Club unanimously approved the formation of
Women's Division. Coincidently, during the same month, the NRA created the Women on Target (“WOT”)
program aimed at providing opportunities for women in shooting. Together they formed a partnership in
organizing the First Annual Women on Target Instructional Shooting Clinic on September 8, 2000. Grants were
applied for and funded to the newly formed Women's Division by the NRA Foundation via the Heartland Friends
of the NRA and the Women on Target program of the NRA.
Fifty-seven women attended the inaugural shoot in 2000 and registration in 2013 was over 600 participants. As a
result, Oklahoma City Gun Club has hosted the nation's largest instructional shooting clinic for women for the
past 14 years. The WOT Instructional Shooting Clinic has continued to grow and be successful through the efforts
of members of the Oklahoma City Gun Club, volunteers from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department,
Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Midwest City Police Department, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation,
and the Women's Division.
The Women's Division charter members are Suzi Rouse, Joann Burner, Susan Cusack, Sharon Conrady, Pam Green,
Sandy Payne, Dawn Taylor, Diana Hannah, Kansas Conrady, and Suzanne Black. These ten women became NRA
certified instructors in pistol, shotgun, rifle and range officer disciplines through funding and support of the WOT
program. Their backgrounds varied from a homemaker to a FBI Agent. They all had one focus and that was to
provide an opportunity to share various shooting sports and firearms safety to women who have an interest.
We have women that come from all over Oklahoma and as far away as
Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, California and Florida. Women
from all walks of life participate in this event and we encourage anyone
who has an interest in participating to sign up for a fun filled day of
firearms safety and actual range time with a 22 rifle, various calibers of
pistols, 20 gauge shotguns and AR-15 rifles. Companies such as
Benelli, Glock, Smith & Wesson and DPMS, Inc. sponsor this event and
provide firearms for the day. The WOT Women's Fun Shoot is always
the first Saturday after Labor Day. Early registration is strongly
recommended, as this event is extremely popular and fills up quickly.
