Purposeful Practice Group
This is an event for all shooters, regardless of experience or skill level.
Purposeful Practice Group is a new format for an MSC event. The “group” designation suggests it is not a competition league. It is simply an organized practice session with specific target designs and scoring to track individual progress. Hoping to encourage a more "Social" practice environment.
Cost - This event is free to all participants.
- Why – Purposeful Practice Group is an event designed to improve accuracy and speed. In the book, Citizen’s Guide to Armed Defense, Kevin Davis presents eight bullet points outlining the responsibilities of the armed citizen. This event focuses on only one point, “be skilled in the drawing and accurate in our firing”. Purposeful Practice Group offers no instruction or training beyond our Safety Briefing and Course of Fire direction.
- Who - These practice sessions are open for all MSC members and one guest or family member. Each member will be the acting Range Officer for him/herself, family member or guest. The Event Director and/or Designated Range Officer will record times and monitor the range for safety issues.
- What – Purposeful Practice Group is a set of static pistol drills on one range, and a second range with movement and other advanced skills incorporated in set drills. Participants can choose drills to suit their individual skill level and desired areas of focus. The goal is to measure accuracy and speed with accuracy preferred over speed, the timer only measures progress.
- How - Each shooter will choose their drills. After the range is designated safe, the shooter will place his/her target while the preceding participant’s target is retrieved and scored.
- When – Purposeful Practice Group will take place on the following Saturdays: April 26, May 10, May 24 and June 14. Noon to 4PM. To shorten waiting times we hope shooters can arrive in a staggered fashion, with each participants session lasting approximately 1 hour. So, come out anytime between Noon and 4PM and we’ll figure it out as we go.
- Where – Magee 2 (Movement and Advanced): Magee 3 (Basic Static Drills)
- Gear - Firearm, holster, two magazines and spare magazine holder, eye and hearing protection, and about 100 rounds of ammo. Participants working from a ready position will only need firearm and case, one magazine, eyes and hearing protection and ammo.
- SAFETY - Due to the logistics of the Purposeful Practice Group, the event will follow a COLD RANGE SAFETY POLICY. Firearms are to be unloaded and holstered when not at the firing line. All un-holstered firearms must remain unloaded and, in their cases, or other approved storage, until at the firing line. On our range ALL FIREARMS ARE CONSIDERED LOADED and must remain holstered or cased. A safe table will be designated for shooter arrival, malfunctions, and firearm servicing.
