Pistol Competition Information
What is Bullseye?
Bullseye is the informal name for NRA Conventional Outdoor or Indoor Pistol competition. At TRRC, we shoot Outdoor Conventional matches at the distances of 50 and 25 yards. It is shooting done using one hand. It consists of slow fire, timed fire, and rapid fire. Matches can be as few as sixty rounds or as many as two hundred seventy rounds. The matches are fired using .22 caliber rimfire, centerfire, and .45 ACP handguns. Holsters and laser sights are not used but just about any* safe handgun may be employed. See below for the course of fire.
At TRRC we focus on using "competition" (matches) as a vehicle to provide marksmanship training. Our matches are means to allow shooters to measure their marksmanship skills and a venue to learn from fellow shooters.
Please come out and participate. You will be pleasantly surprised how challenging this sport is and how well you will shoot in other disciplines from the skills developed shooting Bullseye.
Course of Fire - Outdoor
NRA conventional pistol competition consists of firing slow, timed, and rapid fire. This is done at 50 and 25 yards outdoors. Generally an outdoor match will consist of:
- 20 shots, slow fire at 50 yards (2 10-shot strings, 10 minutes per string)
- 20 shots, timed fire at 25 yards (4 5-shot strings, 20 seconds per string)
- 20 shots, rapid fire at 25 yards (4 5-shot strings, 10 seconds per string)
- and the National Match Course (10-shots, slow fire at 50 yards, 10-shots timed fire, and 10-shots rapid fire).
This match consists of 90-shots for a possible aggregate total of 900 points.
For a "2700" aggregate this match is fired once with each gun: .22 caliber rimfire, centerfire, and .45 caliber. A "2700" is a contest fired using .22-caliber pistols, centerfire pistols, and .45-caliber pistols each having a 900-point maximum score. There are four matches for each firearm:
- A slow-fire match: 20 shots usually at 50 yards, in 10-shot strings, 10 minutes per string.
-
A timed-fire match: 20 shots at 25 yards, in 5-shot strings, 20 seconds per string.
-
A rapid-fire match: 20 shots at 25 yards, in 5 shot strings, 10 seconds per string.
-
A National Match Course: 10 shots slow fire, 10 shots timed fire, and 10 shots rapid fire.
* Note: For NRA “Approved” and “Registered” matches, there are rules on equipment authorized. For more information, visit the NRA website and download the rule book.
What is a Distinguished Shooter?
It is the ultimate achievement for a service rifle or pistol shooter to earn the Distinguished designation. The Distinguished Rifleman, Distinguished Marksman, and Distinguished Pistol Shot Badges are awarded to members of the Armed Forces, or civilians, in recognition of “a preeminent degree of achievement in target practice with the service rifle or pistol” (per Army Regulation 672-5-1).
Please read more about the Distinguished Program, its history, and how to achieve theses accomplishments by visiting the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) website at the below links:
