Outdoorsmen set Defensive Pistol Match

VW independent/submitted information

The Van Wert County Outdoorsmen Club will be holding a Defensive Pistol Match this Saturday, October 31. The match is for people with all levels of pistol experience.   

The safety briefing begins at 9 a.m. and the match starts at 9:30 Saturday morning. The possible ending time would be from noon-12:30 p.m., or until all participants have completed the course of fire. For a target fee of $5, participants may go through the course as many times as they want. 

This course will be a walking or running course, depending on one’s ability. Each course will be set up to have several targets that participants need to engage. Each scenario is a simulations of a possible real world confrontation.  

The scenario typically requires shots from 3 to 20 yards and often requires the shooter to change firing points and shoot from awkward positions. These situations are designed to test specific shooting and gun handling skills.
