Key Benefits
- Action Pistol
Club. This
one brief note cannot possibly cover all the details of the Action
Pistol Club’s activities. The best thing one can do is to come and
watch a match. Everyone in the Club will do their absolute best to
make you feel welcomed and answer any question you might have. Please
select the Action Pistol Club Link (above) for more details.
- CMP / DCM Training Clinics give beginning shooters their first
chance to try their hand at service rifle shooting and to qualify
to purchase an M1 Rifle through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
Experienced competitors provide coaching and encouragement.
Club-owned rifles and CMP ammo are available for use by new shooters
without equipment. CMP clinics are generally scheduled on the third
Saturday of each month March through June, plus September.
Entry fee is $5 if you use your own equipment; $20 if you use club ammo.
Club members who need to borrow a club rifle and ammo should register
at least 2 weeks in advance to be certain that the equipment will be
available for them.
- John C. Garand Matches give new shooters an opportunity to use the
service rifles purchased through the CMP program in local competition.
Because equipment is limited to issue grade .30 caliber US service rifles
and CMP ball ammunition the neophytes are on an equal footing with the
experts and great fun is had by all. Entry fee is $20.
- Highpower Leagues. The ORSA high power range is reserved every Monday
evening for the 1000 yard league and both Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
for National Match Course shooting. New shooters are especially welcome.
This is a great opportunity to meet ORSA's experienced competitors who
will work with new shooters to get them started in high power rifle
competition.
- NRA Approved Matches enable competitors to improve skills, establish
an NRA High Power Rifle classification, and fire with shooters from
other clubs. These two-day tournaments are generally fired on the
first weekend of each month. National Match Course competition takes
place on Saturday and long range Palma and 1000 yard matches are on Sunday. Entry fee is $20 for each day.
- NRA 600 Yard Prone Matches are a chance to fine-tune long range shooting
skills. These matches are generally fired on the second Sunday afternoon
of each month. Entry fee is $20.
- NRA Registered Tournaments draw top ranked competitors from across the
nation to ORSA. Four tournaments are scheduled throughout the year and
advance registration is required of all competitors. While many club
members compete in these tournaments as many as possible are also needed
as volunteers to help run the matches, the proceeds from which support the
ORSA R&P Club's programs for new shooters and the teams which represent
ORSA at each year's National Trophy Matches at Camp Perry.
