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.
For shooters new to the sport of USPSA and Speed Steel, check out our
New Shooters Page.
