Dynamic Shooting Sports, LLC operates from 1300 Alliance Road in Deerfield, OH 44111 and has become the region's go-to destination for competitive practical shooting sports. Since 2014, when founders Don Maher and Michael Day started the USPSA club, DSS has grown into a multi-format competition host that runs matches nearly every weekend from March through November, plus weekly events during the shooting season.
The club hosts 2 USPSA matches per month on the 2nd Sunday and 4th Saturday. Each match features 5-7 stages (typically 4-5 field courses plus 1-2 classifiers) with an average round count of 150 rounds.
Don Maher still serves as Match Director, assisted by Scott Beebe and a dedicated volunteer crew
2025 Club Championship is back for its newest iteration—a 2-day match in late September with at least 12 stages and approximately 300 required hits. All matches are open to the public. You don't need to be a DSS Season Pass holder or USPSA member to participate.
Dynamic Steel is DSS's signature weekly event, described as "Steel Challenge meets USPSA." These matches run Wednesday evenings year-round (weather permitting) with a hybrid format that combines speed and accuracy challenges.
DSS hosts the fastest-growing segment of practical shooting—3-Gun competitions featuring pistol, rifle, and shotgun in the same stage. Matches run on the 3rd Sunday of the month March through November.
Sponsored by American Defense Manufacturing, this series features dedicated rifle competitions with a minimum of 5 matches per season.
