Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club

The Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club operates a multi-discipline shooting program that runs matches and leagues from spring through fall. Whether you're into precision rifle work, handgun accuracy, or tactical speed shooting, the club hosts regular competitions open to both members and the general public.

The club schedules four featured high power rifle matches each year at distances up to 200 yards, letting shooters test marksmanship at extended range. All matches are open to the public and club-owned firearms are available if you don't own one.

Slings allowed in all positions except standing; 3 non-scoring sighting shots permitted from any position.

• •Thursday evenings late spring through early fall on the 50-yard range. The club also hosts two NRA-sanctioned bulls-eye matches annually. Preregistration required for hosted events.

Bulls-eye shooting emphasizes pure accuracy with handguns at paper targets using a turning target system—targets only expose during your allotted time. Courses fire from standing position, one-handed grip, at either 25 or 50 yards:

• •Slow fire: 10 shots in 10 minutes (8-inch bullseye at 50 yards; 5.5-inch at 25 yards)
• •Timed fire: Two 5-shot rounds in 20 seconds each
• •Rapid fire: Two 5-shot rounds in 10 seconds each

Equipment options include .22 rimfire, centerfire .32+, or .45 caliber pistols. Any sights work—metallic, red-dot, or telescopic.

The SRPC Action Shooters schedule two matches per month throughout summer. This discipline tests speed, accuracy, movement, and reloading while shooting through scenario-based courses from barricades and ports. Scoring uses "hit factor" (points divided by time).

What you need: - Reliable handgun: revolver or semi-auto (9mm, .38 Special, or larger) - Secure strong-side hip holster - Minimum 3 magazines or speed loaders - 2+ magazine pouches - Sturdy belt to support weight - Eye and ear protection - Minimum 70 rounds ammunition

Starting September 2010, the club hosts buffalo gun competitions using single-shot rifles from the 1800s buffalo hunting era—Sharps, Ballards, Winchesters, Remington rolling blocks, and similar designs. The gong match holds the third Saturday in May from 2-5PM.

Course of fire: - 10 shots off cross sticks at a small chicken metallic target at 200 yards - Final 5 shots offhand at a large steel ram target

Eligible calibers include .45-70, .40-60, .50-70 with bullet weights from 375 to 535+ grains. Black powder encouraged but smokeless also allowed. Cast bullets only to protect the gongs.

New shooters always welcome—the club provides extra ammunition and firearms to borrow.

Matches run 2:30-5PM (avoiding shooting into sun) and operate as growing recreational competitions. Many shooters transition to black powder and advance to shooting up to 1000 yards at ranges like Lodi, WI.
