Central Iowa Practical Shooters

We are Central Iowa Practical Shooter’s (CIPS).

We are a non-profit organization.

Our club hosts match competition the first Sunday of every month. We regularly host 60 to 70 shooters and our membership is progressively growing. We currently have members from all walks of life. We welcome all levels of shooting ability. Our shooters currently range from active/reserve and retired military, current and former law enforcement, general shooting enthusiasts, and firearms instructors to beginning shooters. Our groups are broken out by men’s, women’s and junior shooter divisions. We see everything from “stock” to highly modified shooting equipment in our matches. Our goal is to continue to share our love of the sport with as many interested people as possible.

We have 4 divisions, Pistol Iron Sights, Pistol Optic Sights, PCC(Pistol caliber carbine) and Revolvers. We use Hit Factor scoring.

The competition year starts the first Sunday of November. Members dues are $60 per year. Range fees to be paid each month are $12 for the first gun and $8 for each additional gun. Non member or visitors are welcome to shoot a fun run in any of the divisions at those same range fee prices.

Registration can be done on Practiscore. See each month for the link

SAFETY

Safety is this clubs highest priority. The following rules must be followed. Failure to do so will result in a disqualification.
