Who we are

Rocket City Practical Shooters are Northern Alabama's practical pistol shooting club affiliated with the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA). We usually shoot a 5 course pistol match with at least one of them a classifier for local monthly matches. We hold our matches at the Arab Practical Shooting Club which is located at mile marker 292.5 southbound lane on Highway 231, north of Arab Alabama and just south of Morgan City Alabama.

Ladies and children with safe gun handling skills are welcome to participate. Our dedicated team of practical shooters will provide coaching and mentoring for all new shooters. This is and can be a family sport.
