.22 cal Rifle Fun Shoot (metal silhouettes)
This family-oriented event involves shooting off-hand with a partner at metal silhouettes at 30 metres. Numbers are drawn to determine your partner and there are seven stations of 10 targets each of varying values. Each shooter is allowed five shots. After every team has shot all the stations, there is a break for coffee and snacks. Then there is a second round. Cost is $2; juniors are free.
PQFG Monthly "Duty" Pistol Shoot
Based on "police-style" training, the duty pistol match involves shooting at police-style silhouette targets from ranges between three to 15 metres and timed between two seconds per stage up to 90 seconds per stage. Shooters may use either double-action revolvers or semi-auto pistols (no magnums please). Revolver shooters should have at least two speedloaders and semi-auto shooters should have at least three magazines. Shooters must have holsters. No crossdraw or shoulder holsters are allowed as per safety regulations. Ammunition required is 66 rounds. The match runs every fourth Saturday morning starting at 10.

.22 Handgun Fun Shoot
The last Sunday of the month finds .22 handgun shooters meeting at the range for a fun morning of silhouette shooting. Safety is always paramount. Shooters fire from 35 yards at reactive steel targets in sets of 10 from seven different stations. We shoot at 70 targets, have a coffee break, and return to re-shoot the entire course, for a total of 140 rounds. Cost is $2 per shooter to cover target maintenance and refreshments. Open sights are preferred, but you won't be turned away with any sight you have (optics). Shooting starts at 10 am. Hope to see you there.
