Welcome to the
NPCCC Competition page.
All matches at NPCCC
are open to the public and no memberships are required.
We have competitions of many types. Come on out at enjoy
shooting in different disciplines to expand your skills.
Most start at 9:00am "Chicago time." Please check
the listings on the home page for each event.
For more details, please see our FAQ page
On match days, the
club gate stands open and other, non-match shooting on the range
is not allowed during the matches.
Our matches are
low-key, yet challenging events that can help anyone, novice or
veteran, improve their shooting and gunhandling skills.
Shooting in competition makes you think and plan, in addition to
just plain pulling the trigger. You'll be smarter and more
confident, whether you have a gun for casual fun, sport, or
defensive purposes.
Match fees vary from
seven dollars for two rounds of trap to fifteen dollars for the
USPSA matches.
First time competitors
are welcome. We ask that you arrive a bit earlier, about an
hour before the start time, to get a range orientation and safety
checkout with one of our instructors so that you can be
comfortable with the range rules and shooting the match.
The most important of
the range rules is that North Porter is a "cold
range" on match days. This means there is NO
handling of firearms anywhere on the property except for
the specified safety area table, or when the shooter is actually
on the firing line and is instructed by the range officer to
handle the gun.
Please do not arrive with a loaded gun, or carrying one, or, if
you do because you are legally carrying, please go immediately to
the Safe Area yellow table and unload the gun before signing up or
anything else.
Incidentally, this is the only time ammunition is permitted in the
Safe Area.
During cold range times, your gun should always be
holstered or cased, magazine well and all chambers empty,
except when on the firing line and you are instructed to load by
the range officer.
Thanks for your consideration of these basic safety rules.
See you out
there!
