Benches are available during this practice period every Wednesday
Members of all 5 clubs are welcome.

The MPR is the building on the right hand side as you pass the Public Range, but before the Impalement Arts Range.

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.

All shooters must pass the orientation class in order to become certified to shoot on the Action Pistol Range.

Shooters are taught range requirements and safety and given an introduction into the games and their rules that are played at the Action Pistol Range.
After the conclusion of the orientation class, new participants are required to compete in the NEXT Steel Challenge Match (the following Sunday) and complete this match without disqualification.
The orientation class is not for brand new shooters/gun owners. Participants shall be familiar with their guns and equipment and be able to demonstrate a minimum level of proficiency with it. It is recommended that participants spend some time at a public range practicing and getting familiar with their guns and their shooting prior to taking this orientation class. The orientation class is not, nor is it intended to be, training of any sort. It is merely meant to show new shooters the Action Pistol Range rules and requirements and to introduce the new shooters to the types of games played on the Action Pistol Range.
Bring a lunch or snack! There will be a limited break and the only thing on the premises is a vending machine with candy, soda and Gatorade.

NRL .22 Practice
2026-04-04 09:00 - 12:00 | USI Multi Purpose Range, 4700 Evora Road, Concord, CA, 94520
To get involved you don’t need a DGRC or NRL22 membership – while a DGRC membership will save you on Range fees it’s not required. The NRL22 membership is only required if you want to report your score up to the National Org level because you’re vying to go to the big national level matches.
In terms of getting started, you can roll with a 10/22 (there are some specific safety things that we will go over with regards to a semi-auto)…you just need to have a good scope (preferably with a X-mas Tree Reticle) and a detachable bi-pod.
Let me know if you have any further questions! I don’t normally make it to practices due to family commitments but I’m trying to get to this one so perhaps I’ll see you there?

1st Saturday of the month for the NRL22 practice sessions –
Located at the MPR
NRLPractice sessions runs from 9am-12pm and is open to anyone who wants to try NRL22-style shooting — If you are new, please speak to the Practice Leader/RSO about how to shoot safely

10 Meter Indoor Airgun Match
2026-04-10 17:30 - 20:00 | USI Clubhouse, 4700 Evora Rd., Concord, CA, 94521
The Airgun League runs from January through May. The shoots are on the 2nd and 4th 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 ($2.50 relay) – you can shoot rifle/pistol or rifle/rifle if desired

I call the Silhouettes in the traditional Spanish, avoiding confusion with the public shooters.

Silhouette shooters are called to the bench, guns pointed downrange, flags inserted. After approaching the bench, firearms can not be touched until prompted for the live fire.

Upon command, shooters fire for 2 min. After 2 banks of animals, they return the guns to the rack, flags inserted.

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.
