The PHA Defensive Pistol match is back, but renamed to the Action Pistol Match. We will be feeling things out for the first couple of matches given we’re not sure how many will be showing up and therefore how much time to invest into stage design/complexity, but the objective is a “shoot what you got” match with challenging stages and IDPA style scoring (time + penalties).
The next match is Saturday, June 26th, 2021.
The match will consist of 5 stages with steel (10+ yards) and paper targets (1-25+ yards), movement, reloading, etc. *IF* the stage is defensive themed, it will rely on stage design and fault lines vs cover calls as this is harder to enforce fairly. Most stages will allow creativity in how you want to shoot it within stage specifications.
If you can show up early, any help setting up stages would be greatly appreciated. Plan on spending 15 minutes at the end of the match to help break down stages as well.
