If you enjoy team competition and shooting for high accuracy, the Nenameseck Pistol Team is for you.

The Nenameseck Pistol Team is open to all members who would like to represent the Nenameseck Sportsmen's Club in competition with other area clubs. A steady hand and sharp eye is required.

Who do we compete against?

The Pistol Team competes against several other clubs in the Western MA area. For the 2002-2003 season, the other competing teams were Westfield, Holyoke, Springfield Revolver, Smith & Wesson, Agawam, Swift River, and Northampton. The competition determines which club will be able to claim coveted first place position for the region.

What type of equipment do I need?

All Pistol Team competition is done with .22 caliber handguns. Most of the handguns are semi-auto and specially design for accuracy.

What happens at a Pistol Team match?

After each shooter from the competing clubs have registered, each shooter is given 3 paper targets. The first target is for the Slow Round, which is 10 shots in 10 minutes. The next target is for the Timed Round which shoots two groups of five rounds in 20 seconds for each group. The last target is for the Rapid Fire Round which is also completed in two groups of five rounds, but the shooters only get 10 seconds for each group here. All rounds are shot from a distance of 50 feet. A bulls eye hit scores 10 points, so each shooter can have a maximum possible score of 300 points.
