The Richmond Hotshots are a non-profit organization. The club is operated under the Richmond Rod & Gun Club. The Hotshot's club has been in operation since the early 1980's. IPSC matches are held every 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. Plaques are given to the top three, dependent on the number of sign-up per class.
We also have "Specialty Matches"(ICORE, COWBOY, IDPA, LONG GUN and STEEL CHALLENGE) spread out during the course of the year. Please refer to the Schedule Of Events for specific dates and matches.

Shotgun can have a mix of slugs, buck, and bird shot. Rifle ammo will be lead core only (no steel). 200 yd range rifle stage is sometimes possible, so know your long range 'zero'.

You must pay range use fee at the Public Range and bring the receipt to the Action Range and sign in there too. Contact Raymond Moreno for more info.

(Match results with your printed name, or a letter from a match official must be presented). 3. Completion of the RRGC SAFE HANDGUN COMPETITOR CLASS, with an additional multi-gun safety orientation at the monthly RRGC multi-gun practice stage. 4.
