Action Shooting With The Buffalo Target Shooters Association

The Buffalo Target Shooters Association (BTSA), though primarily a handgun shooting sports group, accommodates many different types of shooting styles and disciplines. BTSA’s facilities provide an accessible and safe environment for recreational shooting for most shooting sports enthusiasts and are configured for: handgun – any caliber, black powder, rimfire rifle, shotgun and centrefire rifle.

BTSA is dedicated to the advancement of a marksmanship discipline known as “practical shooting” or “action shooting”, with affiliations with IDPA, Steel Challenge, IPSC and USPSA. Action shooting is commonly referred to “Run and Gun” because you do not just stand and shoot. Many stages require moving safely between different targets and shooting under, over, and around barriers. This discipline provides a great deal of enjoyment, and is challenging.

International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC)
