Diablo Action Pistol

The history of Diablo Action Pistol (DAP) goes back to approximately 1988 when the by-laws of Diablo Action Pistol were adopted by its founding members. The group was established through the sponsorship of the Diablo Rod & Gun Club which is one of the five member clubs forming the United Sportsmen, Incorporated (USI). In order to join and participate in DAP, one must first be a member of one of the five USI Clubs and then apply to DAP.

About us

IPSC logo

IPSC

"IPSC," "Combat Shooting," "Action Shooting," "Practical Shooting.” All these acronyms and terms derive from practical shooting, and the organization that first began development of the sport—the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC). 

IPSC’s world and national championships are widely regarded as the official title bouts for shooters in all types of “action/speed/combat” disciplines.

IDPA

The foundation of every IDPA as a sport is quite simply the use of practical equipment including full charge service ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in IDPA events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No “competition only” equipment is permitted in IDPA matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his equipment or gamesmanship.

USPSx Style Multi-Gun

USPSx Style multi-gun uses many of the same principles as Practical Pistol Shooting.  In addition to shooting pistol, competitors will add long guns to the mix.  While 3 gun implies pistol, rifle and shotgun, any combination can be used in a course.  Precision rifle, 2 gun and 4 gun matches can also be shot.  Most matches will be straight forward 3 gun matches using USPSx style time-plus scoring.  Competitors will be presented with stages that require the use of one to three guns on the same course.  Stages are "problems" that the shooter must solve under a timed format where accuracy and firearm power are factors.  A sling is recomended for long guns.

General shooting will begin at 4:00 pm and the last registration will be at 6:45.

Action Pistol Certification will be required for all shooters.  Because of this it will be necessary to check to be sure ALL shooters have current Action Pistol Certification cards.   All SCSA (Steel Challenge Shooting Association) rules will apply except as indicated below.

For more information go to: http://steelchallenge.com/ and download the rulebook from the link in the tool bar at the top.

The match fee will be $5 per match with AP certified juniors ( under age 18) shooting without fee.

HELP US OUT AND BRING A $5 BILL!! NOT A $20!!

The divisions will be as indicated in the rule book and will include only:

            Rimfire Open

            Rimfire Iron Sights

            Center Fire Pistol – Open

            Center Fire Pistol – Iron Sights

            Center Fire Pistol – Production

Rimfire pistols may be carried in holsters on the range but all Rimfire starts will be from a low ready position.  Starts for all other divisions will be from the holster.

Registration in the Competition Categories will be as indicated in Appendix B of the rule book with B1, B2, B6, B7 and B8 being accepted.    Catagories B3, B4, and B5 are not accepted.

The series will consist of 12 matches shot for score with the final shoot on the 24th of July being a fun shoot and league awards BBQ.   As always guests and visitors are welcomed.  Eye and ear protection is required for everyone on the range.

Remember to bring your current AP Certification card.

Our fearless leader Mr Jim Endress has sent out an email about sign ups and the lack of attention to detail that people seem to have when filling out the sign up sheets... Read and Heed! There are now some serious consequences if your sign up is illegible. 

We continue to have problems getting accurate information from the match sign in sheets.   Attached is an extract from the registrations for the 8th of July as an example.  Leaving the Power Factor blank for Production division is not a problem since that division is always scored minor but that's not the case with the other divisions.   With the rather large turnouts we're getting for matches it's just too much of a workload for the scorekeeper to be expected them to chase down everyone who has an undecipherable entry.

A while back I asked one of our fellow lady shooters if she'd do a little piece on what got her into shooting and what kept her in it. I'm hoping that maybe other ladies may see this and say "I can do this too!" Soooo without further ado heres Sharon!

I honestly thought I would never stop shaking.

 I had secretly wanted to get over my fear of guns for years, and, wow, did It take a lot longer than I thought it would. Not just the fear of the gun, but shooting around people I didn’t even know who could have been crazy? How would I ever feel safe around all this?

This was my personal fear factor. Forget eating worms, that would have been much easier! I just had to prove that I could do something like this, shoot guns! I mean, guns are for bad people, right? But wait, I’m not bad.
