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, up to .338 Lapua template.

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.
