    MUZZLE LOADING BLACK POWDER RIFLE AND PISTOL MATCHES take place once a month on the 200 yard rifle range. Competition is from the firing line out to 100 yards and 200 yards. Targets are steel gongs, with paper targets, located between 50 and 200 yards. Safe handling of old style muzzle loading arms and period dress and costumes are promoted.

    Set up at 10:00 am and match starts at 11:00 am. All levels of shooters welcome!

    If you are interested in rifle shooting, don't hesitate. Come on out, and you will have, at your disposal, any number of veteran competitive shooters, who are eager to help, and will go to great lengths to get you on your way to becoming competitive yourself. You will be surprised how quickly you will progress, and we know you will find that competitive shooters are a great bunch, with which to shoot and socialize.

    Matches are conducted by the Ranger Officer using range commands for each course of fire. Coaching and special consideration are afforded new shooters to the game, by veteran competitors and the Range Officer. All rifle matches are governed by the Rules and Regulations of The National Rifle Association of America, with top priority given to basic safety rules in accordance with the NRA, and Winchester Canyon Gun Club.

    Competitors use two different firearms -- a modern sporting rifle (MSR), that is, a rifle built on an AR-platform and a pistol. Matches generally involve courses where the shooter must move through different stages and engage targets in a variety of different positions. Each stage will generally require the use of different firearms and require the shooter to transition between them.

    All Levels of Shooters Welcome! 

    Come join us for a fun and challenging shooting match. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, we welcome shooters of all skill levels. Our experienced staff will be on hand to help you every step of the way, from providing safety instructions to guiding you through the process.

    Don't miss out on this great opportunity to improve your shooting skills and have a great time!

    The targets might include clay pigeons, cardboard silhouettes, steel targets of varying sizes and anything else the match organizer designates as a target. Distances of the targets might vary from 1 yard to 200 yards or anything in between. The shooter who hits the most targets -- and avoids certain "no shoot" ones -- in the least amount of time is the winner.

    Match rules abide closely by those set up by the International Multi-Gun Association (IMGA) or the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA), which regulates some matches. Each of these organizations has guidelines and rules, but the ability to adapt them for specific matches is what makes 2-gun competition dynamic and exciting.

    Just as it is with the practical pistol matches, 2-gun simulates combat or self-defense situations. A stage provides a certain scenario for using one or more of the guns in a specific sequence. Each stage is each match will usually be different than any you've shot before.

    Please Note: The calendar states that the event begin at 11 am and that’s going to mean that the shooter’s brief starts at 11 am. Please be on site, paid, and prepared to start the shooter’s brief at those times. 

    Equipment

    • Rifles:
      Most serious competitors choose MSRs in .223 caliber with fairly short barrels in the 18- to 20-inch range and 10-round magazines. But any semi-auto that will handle larger magazines are normally permitted.
    • Pistols:
      Most shooters use 9mm semi-autos, but the .38 Super and .40 S&W are also popular in some divisions.
    • Accessories:
      Each shooter needs a holster for the pistol and some sort of belt/pouch system to carry extra magazines and ammo.
    • Ammo requirement will vary by match. Contact rangemanager@wcgc.org prior to the match for the current month's ammo requirement.

    Before handling any firearm, familiarize yourself with these safety procedures:

    1. Know how the firearm operates — including safely opening and closing the action of the firearm and removing ammunition from the gun or its magazine. For free safety and operating instructions, write to the manufacturer or visit its website.
    2. Always keep a gun pointed in a safe direction, even when handling an unloaded gun — so that if it were to fire it would not result in injury.
    3. Never assume that a firearm is unloaded. Immediately open the action and look into the chamber(s) for ammunition, or if the gun has a magazine, carefully remove it before opening the action.
    4. Always keep your finger off the trigger, even when handling an unloaded gun. Your finger should rest outside the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. The only time you should touch the trigger is when you are ready to safely fire.

    As a new, or returning lapsed member, you need to complete a New Member Orientation before your membership is approved. 

    Orientations are conducted outdoors on the second and forth weekend of every month. The sessions are at 10:00 AM or 12:00 Noon on Saturday or 11:00 AM on Sunday). Please check the WCGC Website Calendar for exact dates and times.

    Registration is required, as space is limited. Please email membership@wcgc.org to reserve a space for Orientation.

    Prior to coming to the range, you are required to view a New Member Powerpoint Presentation that you will attest to viewing when you arrive. You are still required to demonstrate your ability to safely handle a firearm. After doing so, we will give you a tour of the facilities. Orientations usually last one hour.

    Please view presentation here: WCGC New Membership PowerPoint

    Bring a firearm with you to do the safe-handling demonstration. Do not bring any ammunition with you to the orientation. If you plan on shooting after the orientation, please leave all ammunition secured in your vehicle.

    This orientation is designed for new members (or those who have let their membership lapse). It covers the 4 basic rules of safe firearms handling, club and range specific rules/policies/procedures, and a hands on demonstration of proficiency of safe firearms handling. A tour of the facility and ranges is included.

    Mandated for all new members. Encouraged for all current members.

    The WCGC Five-Stand Fun Shoot consists of shooting 25 target rounds. Targets are thrown from 6 - 8 randomly-placed throwers in the field.

    The Five-Stand target throwers are strategically placed throughout the field. Each of the five stations that are aligned in a row are partially enclosed by a cage that limits the angles of shooting at targets. Each shooter can view the targets from all stations from the station they are shooting from. Once all shooters have completed a station they move in a clockwise rotation to the next station.

    Each station has a menu card notifying the shooter where each target is being thrown. Targets are thrown from a pre-determined sequence with a variety of flight angles and consistent speed settings. Targets may be thrown from left to right, right to left, fading away, incoming, rabbit (along the ground), and vertically.

    Generally, the first target thrown from each station is a single target followed up with either a report pair or true pair to round out that station. No shooter will move to the next station until the last target in a round is completed.

    Five Stand is a great way to get a Sporting Clays like experience in a small amount of space, with very little walking.

    Members of the Winchester Canyon Gun Club Shooting Team will be present at all 5-Stand events to coach new shooters in the Five-Stand discipline.

    WCGC IS A NON LEAD ONLY RANGE
    STEEL SHOT AMMO IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT OUR CLUBHOUSE

    5-Stand is open to shooting from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

    *** DUE TO THE CA STATE SHOOT, WCGC WILL NOT HAVE FIVE-STAND ON JUNE 21, 2025!
