Action Shooting

Members engage in dynamic and challenging courses of fire, where speed, accuracy, and power are equally tested. Through action shooting, shooters of all skill levels find an inclusive community passionate about firearms proficiency, self-improvement, and the thrill of competition. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or new to the sport, action shooting offers a structured, exciting path to elevate your shooting skills in a supportive environment.

You might find attending a match as a spectator to get a feel for the flow of events, the safety protocols and the insights into the match dynamics a good first step. Many people will jump right in and get started down their path of action shooting.

MRGC holds a monthly match (USPSA or PCSL format) on the second Sunday of the month.  Practices are held throughout the year and scheduled as weather and daylight allow. The club calendar has the dates for these events. Participants need to be proficient in safe gun handling, loading/unloading, and overall operation of the gun they’ll be using.

    Protect Yourself the Right Way – Legal Aspects of Self Defense Training

    Understanding how to defend yourself isn’t just about skill—it’s about knowing the law before, during, and after a critical incident.

    This training, taught by Lisa Steele, will walk you through the real-world legal realities of self-defense in Massachusetts, helping you avoid costly mistakes that can happen even when your intentions are right.

    We’ll cover:

    • What you can legally carry—and where
    • Firearm storage laws and what happens if your firearm is seen
    • How to properly handle traffic stops and interactions with law enforcement
    • The critical differences between deadly and non-deadly force
    • Your duty to retreat and how perception and reaction time impact decisions
    • What happens after an incident—from the initial 911 call to station interviews
    • How social media, statements, and third parties can affect your case

    This is practical, eye-opening information every responsible gun owner and self-defense-minded member should know. The goal is simple: keep you informed, prepared, and protected—both physically and legally.

    Don’t miss this important session. Your safety—and your future—may depend on it.

    Lisa Steele has been a criminal defense attorney since 1995. She has represented clients in over 200 appeals in Connecticut and Massachusetts. She has written a number of articles for legal journals on topics including eyewitness perception and memory, and self-defense. She has taught classes for attorneys in a variety of topics and has been teaching self-defense law for GOAL since the late 1990s.
