Shooting clubs, competitions & communities

Find shooting matches, clubs, forums, hunting and conservation groups and safety programs. A curated list from a veteran-owned gun shop in Pahrump, NV.

The fastest way to get better is to shoot with other people. Local matches put you on the clock in front of friendly competitors, and nearly every club welcomes new shooters who ask questions and follow the safety rules.

Forums and organizations are great for research, but check advice against manufacturer instructions and a qualified gunsmith before you change anything on your firearm.
