Part of the target system used at the 22 LR 50 yd range was damaged recently. The attached picture shows that the risers which are used to hold the actual target frame when shooting offhand at 25 yards were used to staple targets on. DO NOT staple targets to them. They are not a target frame.
Bullseye Pistol Shooting is timed, precision, one-handed, Olympic-style pistol shooting. It is a lifetime sport and shooters can be competitive well into their 70’s +.
At TCMSA, we are introducing bullseye shooting on the new range. Each shooting lane will have a table to shoot from and targets are furnished. Various pistols and calibers are used in Bullseye shooting and unless otherwise stated, the events at TCMSA will be 22LR. Virtually any semi automatic 22 LR pistol can be used. The recommended donation for each event is $10.
Eligible shooters need either to present an NRA/CMP Bullseye/Precision Pistol Classification Card or have completed a TCMSA Bullseye Orientation, scheduled upon request.
The two target types used are 21” x 24” and are shown below:
For more information, see the “Competition Descriptions” on the TCMSA website or contact Match Director Mark Mansell at 509-366-5251.
A work party is scheduled on Sunday April 7, 2024, 0800-1100hrs. The goal is to fill 200 sandbags to tie the new wall and berm together. Bring shovels and gloves. A member will also be there with his front loader to place gravel at the base of the wall to prevent sand erosion from the wind. The range will be closed. A work party credit of $30 applies towards the 2025 dues.

Now that the 50 yard range is in operation, the following is the safety protocol for hot/cold range.
When the main range is going cold and the 50 yard range is in use, contact will be made with the persons on the 50 yard range that the range is going cold. The whole range, including the 50 yard range will then go cold.
The 50 yard range has a distinctive bell and flashing strobe for the 50 yard range, allowing the 50 yard range to go hot/cold independent of the main range.
The 50 yard range CAN GO COLD and persons CAN GO DOWN RANGE while the main range is hot.
Currently portions of the 200 yard targets are visible from the 50 yard range. Future improvements may include a raised baffle on the berm/wall structure to block line of sight to the 200 yard line and make the 50 yard range totally independent.
