California Airgun Shooters Association

California Airgun Shooters Association (CASA) started in 1984 and stands as one of the oldest—if not the oldest—Field Target club in the United States. What began as a regional group has grown into a active competitive organization that runs year-round matches across southern California.

CASA focuses on three main competition disciplines:

• •Field Target - The core competition format with 12-13 shooting lanes, 2 targets per lane, and 48-52 total shots taken from sitting, kneeling, and standing positions at distances between 10-55 yards
• •Airgun Silhouette - Precision shooting at silhouette targets
• •Airgun Benchrest - Accuracy-focused competition from bench rest

Matches run under AAFTA divisions (American Airgun Field Target Association) in both PCP and Piston classes:

CASA runs at least one fully AAFTA-sanctioned match annually where all competitors follow strict AAFTA rules. Most matches are informally shot to encourage participation.

All shooters must: - Shoot .177 to .22 caliber pellets - Keep energy below 20 foot pounds (fpe) - Wear safety glasses and a hat - Pay match fees ($15-$20) - Complete range orientation

Skill level doesn't matter—all shooters are welcome.

• •2026 Grand Prix Match: January 23-25 at Saugus, CA range (one of the most challenging courses in the country)

• •Next Match: February 8th at Los Angeles Rifle & Revolver Club in El Monte. Sight-in begins 8 a.m., match starts 9 a.m. Covered shooting lines available.

CASA maintains active online presence through Facebook, a Delphi Discussion Forum, and publishes regular newsletters. Members can access match results, course galleries, and club merchandise.
