• Shooting mats will be provided, though you may bring your own if preferred
• The cost for range access is $5.00

Course of fire will be a modified course using the B-29 and B-27 targets. All

reload per stage; except for the last stage. All magazines are loaded with 6

The range will be open for the Thursday matches at 6:00 p.m. The season will be entirely a postal match with no Centerfire competitions. It is understandable if anyone does not want to complete this year. You will not be removed from the team roster or the email listing, unless you notify us. As this situation of the pandemic is evolving, the scheduled matches are subject to change.
The Niagara Frontier Pistol League is one of the oldest, continuous running shoulder-to-shoulder indoor bullseye pistol travel leagues in the United States.
