A Medal to the Winner!

Paul Bunyan Rifle and Sportsman’s Club has been the home range for our local Action Shooting International since 2019. Offering a “Shoot and Move Sport for Everyone” inviting both new and experienced shooters to this shooting sport. Since arriving, our chapter has developed a loyal following and welcomed new enthusiasts.

Recognizing the increase in popularity we figured it was time to host a ‘specialty match’; a match with 7 new stages with fun target arrays and props. The 2021 The Senior Classic was held on October 2, it was opened to all, but special recognition was awarded to those registered in the senior category of 50 years and older.

A roundup of competition video from the Hand-Size Handgun 2021 competition. Enjoy!

More than 100 shooters flocked to Renton Fish & Game Club in Renton, Wash. to shoot the Hand Sized Handgun Championship. They came to celebrate the 2021 season — and find out who is the “top gun” for the year.

Sunny weather, open air shooting, and a colorful cast of characters (including all the ASI leadership) offered a great way to socialize and shoot. 

While the HSH is dedicated to the use of the “Hand-Sized” pistol (3.5″ or less barrel), a great many people brought their full-size guns just to join in the fun.

Marcel Engelmaier emerged as overall champion, shooting a red-dot-equipped SIG 365 to win the “Hand Sized” bragging rights. Mike Vadewall finished fourth overall on his road to winning the “ASI” division (where any ASI-legal gun is allowed).

Vendors Rain City Tactical and Taylor Freelance set up their displays, again giving shooters a chance to meet their owners and see products “hands on” in ways that you just can’t do via Zoom!

The 2021 Hand-sized Handgun match is fast upon us. It will be held on September 11th from 8am-2pm at the Renton Fish & Game Club.

  • ASI approved stages
  • Emphasis on variety of shooting positions, movement, and cover
  • Strong-hand/weak-hand stages

Registration for ASI members is $20.
