About This Adventure
The AllSafe Handgun Challenge offers an exhilarating experience for shooters of all levels, blending speed and accuracy in a dynamic environment. Participants engage with diverse targets, from pie plates to balloons, while employing their own strategies. It's a fun, supportive atmosphere where skill improvement and camaraderie take center stage, not competition.
About
The AllSafe Handgun Challenge is designed to test the basics of sight acquisition and trigger control in a series of fun, simple, straight-forward of courses of fire. Beginners will find it fun and exciting to shoot and move while addressing different target situations. Experienced shooters will enjoy testing and improving their draw stroke, while developing more speed and greater accuracy.
The AllSafe Handgun Challenge is a balance between speed and accuracy. Although the reloads favor the semi-auto, the course of fire can be successfully completed by either a revolver or autoloader. The evening is short, sweet, and terrific with excitement.
Instead of just shooting at paper, the targets include pie plates, IPSC silhouette targets, and balloons. With only the limitation of safety, each event is "free-style" where shooters have the opportunity to challenge the course employing their own strategy and tactics.
Newer shooters can start the scenarios from the low-ready position. More experienced shooters will start from a holster to level the playing field with the newer shooters. Although scores are kept, this is not a high-pressure competition. There are no prizes and winners win only the applause and admiration of all who participate.
Participants should bring a least three magazines or four speedloaders and two hundred rounds of ammunition.
