During the shoots, a responsible adult, OTHER THAN the range officers, must supervise youth shooters.
Shotgun events are at the Skeet Fields and shooters need their own shotguns..

10 Meter Indoor Airgun Match, 1st and 3rd Friday's at the USI Clubhouse
2022-03-04 18:00 - 21:00 | 4700 Evora Road, Concord, CA, 94520, United States
The Airgun League runs from January through May. The shoots are on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each of those months with events for rifle and pistol.
All shooting is done offhand (standing) at paper targets. The format is “shoulder to shoulder”, without point dividers, so some shooting experience is required. There is no coaching or spotting (by another person for the shooter) permitted during the “record” firing periods.

All shoots are held in the clubhouse and there are club guns available for those of you who don’t have their own.
Juniors (ages 8 to 18) shoot free, but those over 16 shoot in the adult classifications.
Competition is by classification (shooting against other shooters in your class) except for the high overall scores. A total of twenty (20) shots are fired for record over the course of two ten-minute record firing periods. A five-minute “sight-in” firing period is held before each squad begins shooting for record.
We offer two relays per evening- you can shoot rifle/pistol or rifle/rifle if desired
Everyone who shoots at least six matches has a chance to win something.

August through December, we offer Indoor practice on the 3rd Friday of every month. $5.00 for unlimited shooting, 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Low key, laid back Airgun fun!

Precision Airgun Practice - held at the MPR, 1st Saturday of the Month
2022-03-05 07:00 - 12:00 | USI Multi Purpose Range, 4700 Evora Road, Concord, CA, 94520
Airgun practice session, bench and other disciplines. This is an open period for all air guns to shoot, up to and including .30 cal.
$5.00 for Diablo Members
$10.00 for Guests.
Youth accompanied by an adult shoot for free.
This event is for experienced, safe shooters. It’s a volunteer hosted event, with Diablo RSO’s that are taking their Saturday to oversee the activity.

The RSO’s are not there ( or in enough numbers) to teach a brand-new shooter or someone with unsafe shooting habits how to operate and run an air gun. We are welcoming to new shooters who already are comfortable in a shooting range environment, who can safely handle a gun and have previously signed the online USI Waiver.

The MPR is the building on the right hand side as you pass the Public Range, but before the Impalement Arts Range.
Look for the red MPR flag on the flag post- that’s us!

USI waiver and a Blue Card issued from the USI clubhouse required prior to the match- there is no charge to these one time processes.

A silhouette is a steel profile of an animal (chicken, pig, turkey, or ram) standing on a pedestal. The object of the game is to knock as many silhouettes as possible off the stand, shooting one round at each silhouette. It is a very simple competition, with very simple scoring: Knocking an animal off its stand counts as a hit.

Although silhouette is an easy game to learn, it is not an easy game to master. The animals are rather small and the distances can reach out a bit; you must shoot offhand (standing); a moderate breeze can move a bullet or a pellet the width of an animal; your concentration becomes more difficult to hold as you knock down five in a row or with a close miss. Silhouette is an endless challenge that makes you a better shooter!
This is a reoccurring event every Week- we intend to host this practice barring weather or extraordinary barriers preventing the event from occurring in a safe environment. Heavy fog, severe weather or other acts of nature could force a postponement.

Prerequisites

Competitors must be “Action Pistol Certified” to take part in this match. To become certified, see the calendar for orientation classes.
All competitors need to bring or have a photo of a current USI waiver range card (“Blue or Green” card) to shoot at the range. If you do not have a current card go to https://unitedsportsmen.com/waiver/ for more information, to watch the videos and take the online quiz prior to the class. We can issue current waiver cards at the class if you have completed the online portion.

About Steel Challenge
Steel Challenge is a speed shooting competition that consists of eight standardized stages with steel targets in three sizes; small circular, large circular and square targets. Competitors are scored by the time it takes them to complete each stage, and the match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time.
Our matches have 5 stages with 5 steel targets on each. Each competitor shoots each stage five times, with their slowest run dropped, excluding the stage “Outer Limits” where only four runs are shot and the top three counted. The counting times are totaled for their stage score, and the five stage scores are added together to establish the competitor’s match score.
For each run, one hit per target is required, with an unlimited number of rounds permitted. The last target to be shot is known as the “stop plate”, which stops the timer. All primary target hits made after the stop plate has been struck, will be scored with a 3-second penalty each. The maximum time permitted for a run is 30 seconds and a competitor will be stopped and asked to reload if they reach the 30-second limit.
