Action Pistol Shooting

South Island Action Shooters (SIAS) comprise the practical shooting and extreme pistol section of the VFGPA. All club matches are held at the Multipurpose/Pistol Range located on the eastern corner of the range property. Action pistol shooting is promoted in more than thirty countries around the world and tests the skill and mindset of young and old, experienced and new shooters alike. Action Pistol is sometimes referred to as Extreme Pistol. If you are not familiar with this particular shooting sport, you are really missing some fun.Deciding on a plan during the walkthroughSheril & Dave

 

 

 

 

 

 

SIAS host an average of six to ten club matches per shooting season, and three to five Independent Shooting Leage (ISL) matches. Matches are typically held the fourth Sunday of every month, but check the schedule to be sure.
