Competitions
The Izaak Walton League of America Eugene Chapter’s Competition Committee is proud to host four or more competitions most months. The standard competitions are listed below in the order they typically occur each month. For all competitions, keep in mind there is no water on site and you’ll need to bring your own supply. You will need to supply your own equipment for all matches.
All matches are open to the public. If you haven’t shot a match, bring your firearm in an unloaded condition and let the match director this is your first time to get the new shooter orientation.
Please see our Calendar for up-to-date information on current matches.
Please note that for all matches, we are a “Cold Range”. This means you must arrive with your firearms unloaded before you hit the parking lot.
Steel Challenge Matches
The first Saturday of the month, the pistol bays are dedicated to Steel Challenge matches that run from the morning until the match ends in the early afternoon. It’s not your standard stand-and-shoot steel match! Lots of poppers, moving positions, and the occasional twist to challenge your skills! Five stages with a 125 round minimum (if you don’t miss).
New shooters are welcome! This is a great opportunity to get into shooting competitions. If you’re an experienced match competitor, you MAY register twice and shoot two guns. You are welcome to shoot rimfire or centerfire handguns and PCCs at the Steel Challenge matches. If you are shooting PCC, have a chamber flag in it.
