USPSA at Pine Island – PIPS
2007 was the inaugural year for Pine Island Practical Shooters, part of the Pine Island White Pines Club, and accredited by the United States Practical Shooting Association, USPSA (MN13). In 2010 the club became the largest in Minnesota. 2011 will mark our fifth year of offering exciting USPSA shooting at the club. 2011 will also mark the introduction of Ruger Rimfire matches at the Club, 3-4 Saturday matches will be scheduled.
For USPSA, we needed a name, PIWPSC Practical Shooters was too long, so we just go by PIPS, or Pine Island Practical Shooters, for our USPSA name.

FAQ:
- We shoot Wednesday’s at 6:00 PM. Saturdays at 10:00 AM. For the last part of the season, starting in September, we start shooting at 5:30 pm
- As it is a volunteer sport, many people help setup and break down, Setup starts at 3:00 or 4:00 for those who can help. Many hands make light work.
- You do not need to be a USPSA member -or- a Pine Island member to shoot. We encourage both, and if you are a Pine Island member, you get a $3 discount for the matches.
- We do work out of a holster, so you will need a holster and 3-5 mag pouches depending upon the division you are in.
