Shooters paradise!

Disciplines
The Sharon Gun Club provides support for a number of shooting disciplines. We
encourage our members to learn and participate in different types of shooting.
In addition to target shooting, the Sharon Gun Club encourages members to
consider training and certification in additional specialties.

International Practical Shooting Confederation
IPSC is an international discipline focused around time and accuracy based 
pistol shooting in a very dynamic environment. Consult www.ipsc-ont.org for 
more information. 
Qualified IPSC competitors can attend matches held on Range 1
every month during the spring, summer and fall. Consult the Sharon web page
for schedule information. From time to time an IPSC Black Badge course is held
at the Sharon Gun Club. Consult the board in the clubhouse for course
information.

International Defensive Pistol Association
IDPA is another very dynamic sport. To be IDPA approved at Sharon, the
competitor must have a current IPSC Canada certification, a CSSA PPC
certification or a CSSA CDPA certification. Matches are held monthly and the
calendar is posted on the Sharon web site. For more information about IDPA,
consult www.idpa.org
IDPA requires an appropriate handgun, holster, two magazine pouches and extra
magazines, with 9mm being the minimum caliber.

Police Pistol Combat
PPC is an older discipline focused around a regimented course of fire. PPC
courses are available through the CSSA. While the club does not have a formal
PPC league, qualified PPC shooters may practice on Ranges One and Two.
PPC uses .38 caliber revolvers as well as 9mm and .40 caliber approved 
semiautomatic pistols, a duty rig style holster, appropriate magazines or 
speedloaders and retainers for ammunition replenishment.

Western
The Sharon Gun Club hosts a western shooting league based on the SASS rules.
The competitor requires a single action revolver, lever action rifle in pistol 
caliber and an approved shotgun such as a coach gun. The club website has match
scheduling information.

Holster Training
The Sharon Gun Club has developed a holster and range safety program that will
be offered starting in the spring of 2007 to assist club members in receiving a
club level holster approval so members can compete in club IDPA and club
western matches.

Practical Rifle and Practical Shotgun
Each Saturday afternoon, the Sharon Gun Club hosts one of practical rifle or
practical shotgun matches held on Range 6. Any member with an appropriate
firearm may attend the matches on Saturday. To practice or shoot on Range 6
without supervision, the member must successfully complete the Range 6
qualification course. Information on this course including scheduling is 
available on the Sharon web site.

200/300m Rifle
Sharon Gun Club is fortunate to have an excellent 300m shooting range. To
ensure proper safety, the club offers a special course that is required 
before a member may be approved to shoot on this Range. (Range Four). 
To book attendance at an upcoming course, contact the Range Four Ops 
Manager as indicated on the club notice board in the club house.

Silhouette

While no special course is required, members may provide their own metallic
silhouettes for use on Range Five with .22 rimfire only. Silhouette provides 
great fun at very low cost.
