Come on out for some fun handgun hunting practice! Bring your favorite
centerfire hunting handgun(s), at least 50 rounds of hunting ammo.
Any caliber is ok, jacketed ammo is ok, but FULL METAL JACKET ammo
will not be allowed!.
Event sign-in begins at 8:00 AM.
RSVP to either Dan or Gerhard if you are planning to attend!
If we don't get enough RSVPs, the event will be canceled!
This handgun field shoot is held on a natural terrain course. A
number of realistic handgun hunting situations are set up with shots
at game animal targets at varying distances and difficulties. Squads
of shooters move from station to station trying the various targets.
Like a hunt, there will be no practice before!
Targets will be reactive (steel and electronic), all in animal shapes,
at javelina-hunting distance - OK, there's always gonna be one at
almost ridiculous range. Three shots per animal. Except for that long-range critter, your first shot will be unsupported, then sitting and/or support sticks/bipods are allowed.
It would be very nice if some of you come early to help set up.
Definitely bring your binoculars, ear and eye protection, and your own
drinks and refreshments. Everybody should also bring a holster for their
hunting handgun.
Entry Fee: $1.00 per Person

Directions: Go north on I-17 to the Table Mesa exit (exit 236). Cross back
over the freeway heading west. Just past the frontage road which heads north is a
minor road with a wire gate across it. Go through the wire gate and the road will
loop around heading south. Follow the road south for about ¾ mile to where it
meets the pipeline swath (GPS coordinates N 33º 57.472’ W 112º 08.351’). We will
be setting up just to the west of the hill labeled "Gravel Pit" on the map.
