If you enjoy shooting pistols, and would like to hone your shooting skills to a higher level, you are invited to join us for some Bullseye shooting at Hummelstown Field & Stream (HF&S).
Bullseye is the classic precision pistol sport, having its roots in military training, focusing on accuracy, and putting a premium on shot placement. In fact, the NRA now calls it Precision Pistol. Although it is a competitive team sport, shooters are mainly competing against themselves to improve their ability to shoot as accurately as they can.
The William Penn Pistol League (WPPL) is a traveling indoor .22 pistol league, consisting of 10 teams in the greater Harrisburg commuting area. During the winter season, which runs from the beginning of September until the end of March or early April, we have weekly matches on Wednesday nights at various Indoor Pistol Ranges around the league. Half of these matches are “Home” matches at our great facility in Hummelstown, and all matches run from approximately 6:30 PM to 9PM. These matches are a lot of fun and offer a great first step for new shooters to get involved in competitive shooting. Men, women, and juniors (age 14 and older) are all welcome to join our team. We encourage you to come out on a match night and take a look.
It’s fairly easy to become a Bullseye shooter, since there’s not a lot of investment required to get started. No prior competition experience is necessary, and no expensive target guns are required. All you need is a 22 caliber pistol, some ammo, and ear & eye protection.
Our matches promote safe gun handling and the fundamentals for shooting well, including proper stance, grip, breathing, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, and follow through.
WPPL Bullseye is fired one-handed, standing without support, at 50 feet using NRA B2 and B3 targets. Course of Fire is the NRA Indoor 600 Gallery Course (20 shots each of Slow, Timed, and Rapid Fire – 60 rounds total). Cost to shoot per night is $5. Juniors shoot free. Club membership is preferred but is not required to shoot in the league.
We hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity and join us in this safe and rewarding sport. You’ll meet lots of like-minded people, enjoy the camaraderie of being on a team, gain valuable hands-on practical shooting experience, and benefit from helpful information, tips, and recommendations from the many accomplished experts on our teams. The skills you develop shooting Bullseye will make you a better shooter, and will carry over to all other shooting sports as well..
