New Shooter Safety Orientation
SAFETY IS THE CORNERSTONE OF WHAT WE DO!
Clubs in the NorCal Section have prerequisites to participate in their match. You should:
- Have a USPSA / IDPA / SCSA classification, or
- Completion of a 'New Shooter Safety Orientation' or equivalent safety check, or
- Other verifiable 'Action shooting' competition experience. Provide your last 3 matches that are logged in Practiscore (usually within the last 18 months).
Action shooting has specific safety practices. Those with law enforcement, military, or other firearms background are required to meet one of the above criteria.

You should have shot at least 1000 rounds through the handgun you plan to use, and be familiar with how to load/unload and clear basic malfunctions.
AMMUNITION
You will need to provide your own ammunition. Contact Redline Ballistics in Rancho Cordova for your ammunition needs.
MAGAZINE RESTRICTIONS
Magazines must comply with your match shooting division (i.e. Production and Limited-10 are 10-round capacity). It is not any clubs' responsibility to enforce magazine laws, unless mere possession becomes illegal.
The safety orientation prepares shooters to participate safely in a scheduled match.
