Dothan Practical Shooters

USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) is a "run and gun" sport using pistols and pistol caliber carbines. It involves drawing from a holster, moving through a course of fire, and engaging a variety of cardboard and steel targets. Each match is officiated by trained Range Officer volunteers who ensure the safety of the participants as well as fair and accurate scoring. These events are open to the public for viewing and competing (eye and ear protection required at all times on the range).

Steel Challenge is another shooting sport, and is affiliated with USPSA. This beginner friendly competition focuses on engaging steel plates. Pistols, pistol caliber carbines, and rimfire firearms are used in these competitions. This is a "stand and shoot" style of competition where all shooting takes place from a single position, with small exceptions. These matches are very beginner friendly with less movement, gear requirements, and the fact that competitors can use rimfire firearms without drawing from a holster. Like USPSA, these events are open to the public for viewing and competing (eye and ear protection required at all times on the range).
