Silhouette Long range pistol shooting at knock down, animal shaped targets. All pistol calibers are allowed from .22 rimfire to any centerfire round (no 17 calibers allowed). Targets are sized and placed at distances appropriate for the gun & caliber. Rimfire targets from 25-100 yards, centerfire targets from 25 to 220 yards. Both scoped and open sight guns are allowed, and ability classes allow new shooters to compete at their own level. Rimfire rifles are encouraged, some centerfire rifles allowed at match director discretion. A typical match consists of 40 shots. For details, contact Rich Hawkins @ 812-232-1811. |

Air Pistol An indoor version of the Pistol Silhouette. The smaller air gun targets are a surprising challenge, inexpensive pellets and indoor shooting make for a fun and social atmosphere. Targets are from 10 to 18 yards and can be shot with both scoped and open sight guns. Contact Bob Hargis @ 812-466-7306. |

Air Rifle The air rifle competitions are a friendly way to practice marksmanship skills, or just to get acquianted with shooting. These competitions are held in the winter inside the clubhouse. The top scores are accumulated over the eight week duration of this event. The doors open at 6:00 PM, and the first relay begins at 6:30. There are 10 relays each week, and we are typically completed by 8:30. There are two different classes depending on skill level. Class A uses the 10 meter air rifle target, and Class B uses the 10 meter air pistol target. All shooting is done from the standing position at a distance of 10 meters (33 feet). Shooters are given 10 minutes to fire 10 shots at the target. Targets are scored by the scorekeeper. There is also a classification for air pistol using the 10 meter air pistol targets. These matches are rather informal and interaction between the shooters is encouraged. Young shooters are encouraged to attend although direct parental supervision is required. |

Steel RCC, in conjunction with Wabash Valley Practical Pistol Shooters, will hold Steel Challenge type matches on the first Saturday of each month from May to September. The matches begin at 2:00pm. Steel shooting is a rapidly growing sport in the shooting community. Competitors, using pistols of all calibers or .22 rimfire rifles (ideally magazine fed to accommodate reloading between strings of fire), engage five steel targets in various configurations. Your time for hitting each of the five targets is your score. Each of the five targets must be hit during each string of fire and a designated stop plate will be hit last to stop the time. The competitor shoots each course of fire five times and the four fastest times count toward your score. Each match will consist of four or five course of fire. Total score for all stages will determine the match champion in each division. Steel shooting is a great sport for beginner, junior and lady shooters, as well as those with more experience. Unlike other action pistol sports, there is no movement and no need to reload (usually) during a course of fire. It is a great way for anyone to either begin competing or for the experienced shooter to hone his skills. On days when steel matches are held, the shooting range at RCC will be unavailable to members from 12:00 noon until after the match is complete, typically around 5:00pm. |
