Capitol City Rifle Club

THE MOST COMPLETE SHOOTING CLUB IN CENTRAL MICHIGAN

CCRC PISTOL TEAM

Pistol Team competitions are held indoors during the winter months and are open to anyone 14 and above. Men, women, and the handicapped, of all ages and abilities, can enjoy this sport. The team meets in a different location each week no more than an hour away, to compete against another team from the league. Matches are held Thursday evenings from late November to end of March. Currently, there are 18 matches in the season.

 Individual scores are kept for each participant, with the top four scores recorded as the Team Score. Because only the four highest scores are used as Team Score, everyone who participates can have a great time no matter how well they shoot. Pistols used are all .22 caliber with red dot sights or iron sights. Representative brands are everything from Hammerli, Benelli and Pardini, to High Standard, Sig Sauer and Ruger.

 There is also a League match held near the end of the season where all teams compete against each other during one full day of competition, with individual scores and team scores recorded. Awards are given at the end of the season at the Annual Awards Banquet for high scorers, most improved, etc.

 Once a year, usually in February, there is an NRA sectional match held in Jackson for anyone interested in participating.

 All you need to compete is a pistol, ammo, eye and ear protection, and a willingness to have a lot of fun and meet new people.
