2026 Idaho PITA State Shoot - Boise Pistol Championship

The Idaho PITA State Shoot brings competitive pistol shooters to Boise for a challenging day of marksmanship testing. Hosted at the Boise Braves Junior Rifle Club and organized by the Boise Gun Club, this state-level competition follows PITA (Practical Shooting Association) standards and format.

Competitors shoot multiple stages that test accuracy, speed, and decision-making under realistic scenarios. Each stage presents different target arrays and shooting positions, requiring shooters to adapt their technique. Stages typically include precision shots at distance and rapid-fire sequences at closer ranges.

This is a competitive event suited for intermediate to advanced shooters with regular range experience. Beginners interested in competitive shooting are welcome to observe and learn from experienced competitors. Shooters should be comfortable with their firearm's operation and have practiced regularly.

PITA competitions typically feature multiple divisions based on pistol type (semi-automatic, revolver) and shooter classification levels. Competitors are grouped with others of similar skill to ensure fair competition. Detailed division information and specific stage layouts are confirmed closer to the event date.

Check with the Boise Gun Club for registration deadlines, fees, and the complete event schedule. Early registration is recommended as competitive state shoots often fill quickly.
