Pistol League

BESA hosts Pistol Leagues that begin three different times during the year. The Pistol Leagues welcome members and non-member guests of both genders, all ages and level of shooting ability. The purpose of BESA Pistol League is to allow participants to gain experience and competence with their pistol while striving to improve their shooting skillsets. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to gain knowledge from and build friendships with other firearm enthusiasts.

The WINTER PISTOL LEAGUE begins on the first Saturday after the New Year and runs for 10 weeks. Shooting starts at 1:00 PM.

The SUMMER PISTOL LEAGUE begins the first Tuesday after Memorial Day and runs for 10 weeks. Shooting starts at 4PM.

The BIG GAME HUNTING LEAGUE begins the first Tuesday after Labor Day and runs for four weeks. This League uses Delta Tru-Life paper targets at 25 and 50 yard distances to prepare shooters for hunting with a pistol. Shooting starts at 4PM.

The WINTER/SUMMER Leagues use the same silhouette scoring targets with the course of fire as follows:

Stage 1 (B27 – large silhouette target)
50 yards; total 12 shots, seated & supported in 4 minutes: reload after first 6 shots.
Stage 2 (B27 – large silhouette target)
25 yards; total of 18 shots, standing in 1 minute: 6 shots right side barricade supported, 6 shots left side barricade supported, 6 shots unsupported (offhand); sequence in any order with reload after each six shots fired.
Stage 3 (B29 – small silhouette target)
50 feet; total of 12 shots sitting and standing in 30 seconds: 6 shots sitting unsupported, 6 shots standing unsupported; reload after each six shots fired.
Stage 4 (B29 – small silhouette target)
20 feet; total 6 shots standing in 6 seconds: unsupported.
Total for four stages of fire: 48 score able shots per week

All shooters must have at least two (6 shot speed loaders for revolvers) or three (6 shot magazines for semi-autos) as there is not enough time within a stage of fire for lengthy reloading. Speed loaders and magazines can be reloaded between stages as necessary.  More Questions? Contact Steve at sajansen@yahoo.com or Bob at bobyund@gmail.com
