Gulf Coast Rifle & Pistol Club aimed at attracting public guests
WOOLMARKET, Miss. (WLOX) – Soon you will have the opportunity to try your hand at competitive shooting at the Gulf Coast Rifle and Pistol Club.
The Woolmarket Club is currently private, but it opens to the public on Monday evenings, September 14 through November 30. The goal is to get people to get more involved in sport.
“It’s not designed for people like me, it’s designed for beginners,” said Kim Wilson, vice president of Gulf Coast and Pistol Club. “Anyone who shoots every 12 weeks is up for the trophies. “
They’re nine feet apart and the contestants shoot at clay targets whistling at nearly 40mph, and club members say they’re addicted and now they want the general public to have fun.
“Overall it’s a great event, and it’s a great introduction to shotgun sport shooting,” said Charlie Boggs. “Whether you’re becoming a snare shooter, a skeet shooter, or a sports clay shooter, this is a great introduction for someone looking to get into competitive shooting. “
We’re told when Mondays start the fee will be $ 10 for 50 targets, and if you don’t have a rifle you can rent one from the club.
