Tulsa Shooting Team

Tulsa Shooting Team develops young shooters through competitive action shooting. Their season runs October through July with Saturday morning practices at United States Shooting Academy. Competitors enter through SCSA (Steel Challenge Shooting Association) and SASP (Scholastic Action Shooting Program), competing locally and traveling to out-of-state matches.

• •Pistol: Ages 12+
• •Rifle: No minimum age (shooter must be strong enough to support the rifle)
• •Team cost: $160/season

Shooters cover their own competition fees, firearms, ammunition, and eye/ear protection. The team provides ammo for practice sessions.

• •Why rimfire? Lower cost, minimal recoil, and perfect for younger shooters learning fundamentals.

Pistol (5.5" minimum barrel): - Browning Buck Mark - Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory - Ruger Mark IV

No compensators, ported barrels, muzzle brakes, or sighting systems (scopes, red dots, lasers) on handguns.

Rifle (semi-auto .22 LR, detachable magazine): - Ruger 10/22 (most common)
