Can just anyone with a pistol come and sign up? I’m trying to get involved but don’t know what to do.

Everyone is welcome!

There is a safety briefing before the match. It helps to have 5 magazines, but fewer can work (will need someone to reload for you while at the shooter's box). If you have a holster for your gun bring it. But a case works. There is a waiver to sign and that's about it.

We focus on safety and having a good time. No pressure or prizes :-)

January worked great as the rain ended Thursday and the clear desert skies warmed up nicely.

Capacity crowd of 50 guns on the one sunny day between the storms.

See the fun here.

[1911-CV]

We expanded the registration and ran 59 guns. Everyone had a great time and scores were posted to Practiscore by about 11:30.

Here's some video from the day.

Come on out in April (see top post) but PLEASE arrive around 7:30 for check-in.

Thanks for your help.

[1911-CV]

Nice big group enjoying the sunshine!

See the video here

[1911-CV]

Another great day in the desert sunshine.

Check out the action

[1911-CV]

Our little party was enhanced by a new acquisition...

Here's the video,

[1911-CV]

We had 46 shooters and 62 guns, and a new Stage 5 opened in July. Plus whirlygigs built for 22. Nice breeze came up later in the morning to keep temperatures cooler.

See the video here.

Signups have already opened for next month (sign up link is in top post). Only 19 spots left!

Come on out and have some fun.

[1911-CV]

We had a great practice session Friday night with tips and coaching from Henry Toribio. Check this out!

The match on Saturday went great as shooters got to play with the whirlygigs again. See the match video

[1911-CV]

A beautiful desert day with mild temperatures. Crystal clear views and great shooting. Check out the action here September Video

[1911-CV]

Lots of fun as the temps went from the brisk low 60's at 8:00 to the low 70's by the time shooting wrapped up around 11:00.

Bump for a fun match !!

Good for beginners as well as expert shooters.

[1911-CV]

Another beautiful day in the desert; 41 shooters shooting 54 guns. Last vehicles off Range at 11:10. Scores on the Web at 11:16. Very, very smooth.

Great temperatures and toys for the tots.

Here's the video: Watch here

[newbie1234]

From the video, how far from the target ? And how big is the target (white disk) ?

[1911-CV]

As you can see in the video, there is a lot of variety in the steel targets. There are quite small (4") disks on the 22 caliber star. There is a 6" plate that everyone shoots at about 7 yards (closest), a lot of 8" plates, and big, square 12" X 18" plates on some of the stages. Farthest distance is probably 15 yards.

It's a fun shoot so you can miss and still have a good time.

Have fun, be safe, and shoot some guns...

[1911-CV]

Bit cool for the December match. Only 39 guns out to play. We didn't need ice for the water, but the skies were clear and we received more toys for the tots.

A safe and fun time for all. Here is the video

[1911-CV]

January brought bright crisp clear skies. Bit cool to start, but the sun warmed our group.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

Beautiful day in the desert. The sun warmed the shooters nicely. Several new faces. March and April were cancelled.

[1911-CV]

New rules for San Bernardino County meant the May 16 match was a GO!

The May match was a success following some new rules:
1. If you don't feel good, please stay home.
2. If you'd be uncomfortable being closer than 6' from an RSO with both of your faces covered, please stay home.
3. Face covering required.
4. You are responsible for your own gloves, hand-sanitizer, wipes, or whatever. Assume everything that you touch is contaminated.
5. No one is allowed to say: "we're all in this together".

Is there a rule book that describes what weapons fit in each class? I want to register properly.

For example, 1911A1 in 45 ACP and 9m. S&W M&P 15-22. Lever guns.

Looking forward to June 20th. Thanks.

[1911-CV]

Hi:

It's a fun shoot and the class can be changed on-site if it isn't quite right. Depends as much on customizing as caliber:

Centerfire Pistol Limited - 1911A1 in 45 ACP & 9mm (probably)
Centerfire Pistol Open - maybe here if you have red dot, etc.

Rimfire Rifle Limited - S&W M&P 15-22 (one of these)
Rimfire Rifle Open

Hope you make it out!

[1911-CV]

We had our second post-CV-19 shoot on June 20.

Here's the video

[1911-CV]

We had our third match since re-opening. Clear, sunny and pretty warm, with a bit of a breeze to help the comfort factor.

Here's the video.

[1911-CV]

Our August steel challenge was a warm one :-)

[1911-CV]

We had a great day yesterday at HDRGC. Fewer folks finding the ammo to shoot, but perfect temperatures and clear skies.

Here's the video

[LMan57]

Hopefully I can make the next one.

[1911-CV]

After a dip (ammo shortage, etc.) the last two months, we were back up to 5 squads today.

Great temperatures and clear desert skies.

Here's the video.

[LMan57]

Looks like it was a very good event thanks for posting.

[1911-CV]

Beautiful Saturday, a breeze to moderate the temperatures (ok, a tad chilly at first, but it warmed quickly). Lots of shooters back at the event and many toys were collected for the kids.

Here is the video

If you forgot to bring a toy or forgot to come to the Event, don't worry. Just sign up and come to the Christmas Event. We will gladly take your toys, cash, or whatever at that time.

[1911-CV]

The morning started cool and breezy, but warmed up by mid-event to folks in t-shirts. Good group out for the last event of 2020.

Looking forward to 2021!
