PIMA​PISTOLCLUB

There are no minimum caliber requirements to shoot the BUG match and a lot fewer rules and procedures to learn than other popular competitions. Guns must be small enough to fit into a 5.25″ x 7″ box with a magazine inserted (basically smaller than a Glock 19/23).

​

There are four divisions:

1. Backup Pistol: Semi-automatic pistols

2. Backup Revolver: Compact revolvers

3. Hideout Gun: Smaller Subcompact handguns (these must fit in a 4″ x 5.25″ box)

4. Big 5: full size guns may be used but they must start with no more than 5 rounds loaded

 

Holsters are not required*, but dress so that you could carry your pistol in your pocket or tucked into your waistband if you don’t have one. You may also need one extra magazine or reloader (you’re free to reload with loose rounds out of your pocket if necessary).

* For safety, BUG stages start with the handgun safely staged or held at low ready. Sometimes drawing the gun is simulated using a blue gun to exchange for the pre-staged firearm.

​

Matches are held the first Saturday of every month

There will be 4 stages requiring no more than 10 rounds each to complete and matches start at 9am year round (please be there by 8:45 to sign in).

New shooters are welcome.

What You Need:

• Ear and eye protection

• One extra reload method–spare magazine, speed-strip or loader, etc

• Holsters are optional but it helps to dress so that you can tuck a blue gun into a pocket or waistband.
