Open practice is a fantastic time for members that have not introduced themselves to "all things Pit". We will have static shooting at steel plates/targets and also usually setup an action stage (similar to what you might see at an IDPA match). When you enter the Action Pit, you must have eye protection and a brimmed hat on at all times as we are in a shot fall area. There is a comprehensive Action Pit SOP available to download under the Resources tab at the SMGC website. In order to draw from the holster and shoot on the move, you must first show that you can do this safely and competently. Questions? Email tim@ssinspect.com. Come out and see what you've been missing in life :)

A Girl & A Gun events are fun, social gatherings where you get firearms training and encouragement, ask questions in a safe and nonjudgmental environment, improve your marksmanship, and make new friends. All AG & AG events are supervised by Certified Firearms Instructors. All Chapter Facilitators are women who can “speak girl” and provide techniques and tips for female shooters. Our goal is to empower, educate, and have fun at the range. AG & AG events have been successful steppingstones for thousands of women since 2011. Please know that we cannot give a formal training class in a casual environment at Breakfast & Bullets and that is not our intent; if you are a new shooter, we strongly encourage that you contact Cass Crago. AG & AG is honored to be a resource for you to help find the right instructor and/or classes. Grab your favorite portable breakfast and head out to the range around 9:00 am. Between 9 and 10 we hang out, talk, laugh and have a blast just creating a shooting community. At 10:00 sharp we start the safety brief for the shooting portion and have range time from 10 to noon. This event is held at Southern Michigan Gun Club’s outdoor location and using their Action Pit to hold this event. The fee for participation is $10 for any SMGC member participants, $20 for any non-members. This, like always, is a chance to shoot steel plates in a semi-competitive environment. What I mean by semi-competitive is that you can race someone else, or you can do your own thing. For this event we recommend that you bring 150 rounds of ammunition if possible. You will go through ammunition quickly and you will be sad when it runs out. Pistol caliber .22-.45 is acceptable. A few more specifics: You will need to be keyed in if you are not a member of Southern Michigan. This means that the RSVP process is super important so that we know who we need to let into the club. This is not as big of a hurdle as it seems, we just need to make sure you don’t get left outside the gate :) Please RSVP to Cass at cassynewt@gmail.com or 269-297-0071 What do I bring? SMGC is a great club, but we need to make sure we are keeping ourselves and others as safe as possible. Eye protection, ear protection, and a ball cap are required. In addition, your firearm and around 150 rds of ammunition (or whatever you can spare right now). If you are new to shooting we recommend that you contact Cass at cassynewt@gmail.com or 269-297-0071 I am super excited about this event and I hope you will be too!!!!
