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). 2010 will mark our fourth year offering exciting USPSA shooting at the club.
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.
I’ve started adding entries to the 2010 calendar. Of note is April 24th, our inaugural Single Stack Classic. For details on the Single Stack division, see the USPSA website.
In 2010 we will be having a few new Saturday matches, Our inaugural Single Stack Classic will be held April 24th. We will host a Minnesota points match on July 10th.

FAQ:
- We shoot Wednesday’s at 6:00 PM. Saturdays at 10:00 AM.
- As it is a volunteer sport, many people help setup and break down, Setup starts at 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.
