We are all volunteers, so help setting up our monthly GPA matches the day before the match is welcomed and appreciated.
Over the years Pioneer Sportsmen has provided the venue for such prestigious events as the New England Regional IDPA Championships and the NH State IDPA Championships (LFOD). These events have proven time and again to be the high point of summer season with participants attending from many different states and foreign countries. You will frequently see world-class shooters being hard pressed by some of our own club members and superb regional shooters, and you’ll get to see what proficiency with a pistol or revolver is all about. At the same time, you will see all of our competitors adhering to the highest standards of safe gun handling, as opposed to the "Hollywood version" of gun handling.

At Pioneer Sportsmen we are proud to continue to host a very active Action Shooting program. For the 2026 season we will be featuring Gallactic Pistol Alliance (GPA) monthly matches held the 3rd Saturday of April through October (weather permitting). GPA is very similar to IDPA with less restrictions on shooters, staff and stage designers. At each of our scheduled matches everyone is welcome, from the beginning shooter, who will benefit from our free "safety orientation session", to the experienced shooters from any of the handgun sports.

In addition to our matches Pioneer has nationally recognized instructors on-site who regularly schedule a diverse range of classes offered to shooters when further levels of training are desired. Classes cover subjects such as NRA Basic Handgun familiarization, Introduction to IDPA, Steel Challenge, and low light/no light shooting techniques along with concealed carry styles and options. Our website contains links to both our instructor’s contact info along with information on how to get in touch with affordable and knowledgeable equipment providers.
