We invite everyone to come out and enjoy these matches. You can use your “normal” USPSA firearm or there is also a division for rim fire. In the rim fire there is no requirement for a holster, since the start is from the low-ready position. We have a also have a division for rim fire rifle. Rim fire is 22LR only.
You will need your normal UPSPA hostler and gear for shooting in the USPSA divisions (Open, Single Stack, Production, Limited, Revolver etc).
You will need a “bag” or “case” and several mags (if you do not have hi-cap mags for your rim fire) for the rim fire division. You will have to “bag” and “un-bag” your weapon on the firing line for rim fire since there are not holster requirements.
We will normally shoot 4-5 stages consisting of 5 strings each. Each stage has 5 targets that must be hit. So you will need a minimum of 25 rounds per stage (that’s with no misses) with a minimum total of 125 rounds per match.
Please be able to shoot an entire stage with out having to reload your mags. This will keep the match moving and make it a short day for everyone involved. If you have hi-caps for your rim fire rifle then 2 mags will be good (20-25 res per mag). If your are shooting a rim fire pistol you will need to have 4-5 mags for it. Normal USPSA shooters should already have enough mags for the matches. USPSA rules will be enforced for the division you are shooting in.

Welcome to the Deep South Shooters Association. We meet on the 3rd Sunday of every month, at 9AM at the pistol range. You are more than welcome to come early and help us set up. We are a USPSA sanctioned club and registration and match announcements are done on Practiscore. To register for a match, go to https://practiscore.com and select the Matches choice from the top menu. Then, search for DSSA. The cost is $15 for club members and $20 for all others. If you are new and just want to watch the first time, there is no cost. Just bring eye and ear protection.
As a shooter, you will need eye and ear protection. Sunglasses are fine for eye protection. USPSA requires a .38/9mm or larger center fire pistol with a holster. The holster cannot be “small of back”, shoulder, or tactical leg design. You can get more information at www.USPSA.ORG. There are multiple safe tables where you can transfer your completely unloaded and bagged gun to your holster on your belt. No ammo or loaded magazines can be handled at any safe table. All USPSA matches operate on a COLD RANGE policy, which means you are not allowed to handle your firearm, except at the designated safe tables. Once your firearm is in your holster, do not take it out for any reason whatsoever. All firearms must also remain completely unloaded (no magazine inserted, either) and uncocked at all times, except when you are on the firing line and given specific commands by the range officer.
If you are unfamiliar with USPSA safety rules at a match, you are strongly advised to read the USPSA rule book. You may also want to watch the introduction video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6X3FMWTIWw.
We usually have five stages that total under 120 rounds. There will be steel targets and cardboard targets. If you plan on missing you may need a few extra rounds. You should have a minimum of three magazines for high-capacity divisions, and at least five for low-capacity divisions. Matches typically last until around Noon.
