New Shooters
We are dedicated to having fun matches that are safe and stages that challenge shooters of all abilities. Our goal is for The Minnesota Section of the United States Practical Shooting Association to grow and be as competitive as any in the United States, this is not possible without new shooters, we encourage new shooters to come out and shoot with us, don't be intimidated, we all started out as new shooters and in time you may be a Master shooter or even a Grand Master but this takes time and dedication. So come out and play with us, I promise we won't bite.

SCORING   
    I have a link posted on the new shooters section about scoring, I think that all of us should know how to keep score and this link is very informative. Read it and learn from it but by all means use it, volunteer to run the clipboard at our matches, there are far too many shooters that act like the clipboard is the swine flu, so next time we shoot if you never have scored a COF ask someone and they will gladly show you how.  LINK

About Us

MAPSA has been running public IPSC style matches since 1980.

We have a new host range for the 2010 shooting season and beyond, it is called Faribault Rifle and Pistol Club (FRPC). 2010 will be our first season at the new range so we will have some growing pains at first. We as MAPSA members have no range privledges beyond our match days and are FRPC tentants so we need to leave the range looking better than when we started. We are looking forward to running quality USPSA matches on a monthly schedule. 

 

We are having a big prizetable this year so come out and have fun shooting and you may win a great prize in December. Here is a link to the details. PRIZE TABLE
