PISTOL PROGRAM

Our Pistol Program matches are shot at both our indoor range in Georgetown, IN and our outdoor range in Borden, IN. All shooters are welcome to compete.

Dear Fellow Club Members,

I am excited to announce a new class I will be teaching at our club focused on bullseye handgun shooting and the fundamentals required to fire a truly perfect shot.

Bullseye shooting is not about luck, strength, or expensive equipment. It is about fundamentals—grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control, follow-through, and mental discipline. Without a solid understanding of these fundamentals, it is simply impossible to consistently fire a perfect bullseye shot. This class is designed to clearly explain why each fundamental matters and how to apply it correctly, so shooters at any level can improve their accuracy and consistency.

The course materials were originally prepared by David Richardson, and this class has previously been taught by him. David’s credentials and experience speak for themselves. He was a member of the National Army Reserve Pistol Team from 1983 until the start of Desert Storm. He was a shooting member of the 1986 NRA 3-Gun National Team Champions, defeating the Army MTU, Marine MTU, National Guard, Marine Reserve, Navy, Air Force, and all civilian teams. He won several regional championships and fired a high score of 2644 on two occasions. David served as coach and officer in charge of his local 100 Division team, coach of the Second Army Area Team (equivalent to today’s SEC states), and officer in charge of the newly formed Mobile Training Team that traveled nationwide teaching trainers at Army and Reserve commands. In addition to being a nine-time Kentucky State Champion, David was instrumental in the construction of our first overhead cover at the outdoor range. While David is no longer coaching or participating in day-to-day activities, his knowledge, instruction, and contributions remain a lasting foundation for this program and for our range.

By way of introduction, my name is Lenny Chopovsky. I am the 2025 Kentucky State NRA Champion, a 1971 Junior Champion, and a former member of the National Junior Team of Ukraine. I received a shooting scholarship to Kiev State University, where I developed both my technical and theoretical understanding of precision pistol shooting.

For the past eight years, I have been a member of our club’s handgun team. During that time, I made a deliberate effort to absorb and retain the instruction and philosophy taught through David’s program. I learned an incredible amount, and much of my success today is a direct result of that emphasis on fundamentals. This class is my way of sharing those principles with fellow club members.

The class will consist of 2-3 sessions, combining:
• Classroom instruction covering the theoretical aspects of bullseye shooting
• Live-fire practical shooting
• Individual analysis and discussion, where each shooter’s errors are identified and corrected

This approach ensures that every participant understands not only what went wrong, but why it happened and how to correct it.

I am pleased to offer this class free of charge to all club members. Family members are welcome to attend at a highly discounted cost of $5 per class.

To reserve a spot in the class, please contact me directly by email at chopovsky@juno.com. Space may be limited, so early reservation is encouraged.

If you are a newer shooter, I especially encourage you to attend. This class is designed to build confidence, remove common sources of frustration, and establish strong fundamentals that will support your shooting progress for years to come. No prior bullseye experience is required—this is an ideal place to start and to learn things correctly from the beginning.

I look forward to seeing you in my class.

Respectfully,
Lenny Chopovsky
