Every way to run a target shooting event
Colorado amateur shooting events take place at public and club ranges year round, with adult and junior shooters entering by skill class, under strict range safety rules.
Precision / Bullseye
Shooters fire at fixed paper targets from set distances in timed strings. Scoring rings add up, and the highest total score wins.
Steel Challenge
Shooters fire at a set of steel plates as fast as possible on each stage. The fastest combined times across stages win.
Action Pistol (USPSA)
Shooters move through stages with multiple targets and obstacles, firing on the move. Scores combine accuracy points and time.
3-Gun / Multi-Gun
Shooters run stages using a rifle, a pistol and a third long gun. Scores combine time and accuracy across all stages.
Smallbore / Air Rifle
Shooters fire low-power rifles at small paper targets from standing, kneeling or prone. Precise scoring decides the winner.
Rimfire Challenge
A beginner-friendly speed event with small caliber rifles or pistols at steel plates. Fastest times across stages win.
Metallic Silhouette
Shooters knock down steel animal-shaped targets at different distances. The most targets knocked down wins.
Clinic, camp or lessons
A certified instructor teaches safe handling, range rules, stance, sight alignment and trigger control, often for new shooters.
Social or open play
An open range day where shooters practice under range officer supervision with no scoring.
Make it memorable
Fun target shooting event ideas
Side contests, fundraisers and traditions that people remember as much as the results.
Long Range Precision Match
Shooters fire a set string at approved targets from the firing line, scored for tight groups. Every shot follows range officer commands and posted range rules.
Rifle Pistol and Third Gun
Shooters rotate through stages with a rifle, a pistol and a third long gun, with combined scores crowning the champion. Run fully under range officer control.
Sponsor a Firing Lane
Businesses sponsor a lane with a banner and a named award, and their name is read at the safety brief. Clear visibility without touching range rules.
Gear and Range Day Raffle
Sell tickets for donated optics, cases, safety gear or range memberships, following all laws for any firearm prize. A Colorado raffle license may be needed.
Western Dress Day
Competitors wear western style clothing for the day, with a best outfit prize at awards. Costumes never change safety gear or range procedures.
Sponsor Eye and Ear Station
A sponsor provides branded eye and ear protection at check in for every guest. Safety first, and their logo is on every shooter.
Family Safety Clinic
Certified instructors run a supervised safety basics session for families before the match. It builds trust and welcomes new shooters responsibly.
Top Shot Trophy and Plaque
The overall winner gets a trophy and their name on a range plaque for the year. Take the winners photo away from the firing line.
