Events
This is a list of all the scheduled competition and events we have at the range. Pre registration is not required. Just show up and get in on the fun. We have many "couples" that shoot together and this is a great "date night" to spend time together.
If you have never competed in any of the disciplines we have, come out and watch and see if it is something you would like to try.

The Cadre Session Five: Well This Is Awkward
- Prerequisites: A valid concealed carry license or equivalent
- Gear Needed: See below
- Class Date: Saturday, February 8th, 9am
- Class Location: Deep50 Range
It’s relatively easy to hit your target when you’re standing in one place, using both hands to hold your pistol with no distractions around you. If you haven’t noticed, though, a shooting range and the real world bear little resemblance to each other. In the real world, there are people in the way, or you may need to move in order to get your shot. Worse still, you may have the use of just one hand if you need to make the shot, and it may not be your dominant hand.
This class gets you out of your comfort zone and teaches you how to deal with things like one-handed shooting, shooting from around cover and dealing with crowds.
All of the Cadre Sessions are less than three hours long and require fewer than 100 rounds of ammo. Class size will be topped at just six people to allow plenty of opportunities for 1-1 instruction.
Gear Requirements:
- A pistol (9mm/38 Special or larger caliber)
- A spare magazine
- A cover garment such as light jacket or oversized t-shirt
- A holster suitable for concealed carry. Please do not bring a Blackhawk! Serpa holster or soft nylon holster such as an Uncle Mike’s or similar holster.
- A sturdy gun belt

The Cadre Session Six: Becoming A Shot Caller
The final Cadre Session will coalesce everything that’s come before and push you to do even better. The previous five sessions have been about developing your pistol skills so that the process of grip, stance, sights and trigger happen automatically, speeding up your shooting and allowing your brain to handle other problems.
In Session Six, we put it all together, and have you shoot the FBI Pistol Qualification, one of the more-demanding pistol qualifications out there.
Gear Requirements:
- A pistol (9mm/38 Special or larger caliber)
- A spare magazine
- At least 200 rounds of ammo. The FBI qual takes 50 rounds, and we’ll be shooting it twice
- A cover garment such as light jacket or oversized t-shirt
- A holster suitable for concealed carry. Please do not bring a Blackhawk! Serpa holster or soft nylon holster such as an Uncle Mike’s or similar holster.
- A sturdy gun belt

Private Lessons By Shannon Smith
I’ll be coming back to Deep 50 in April for a couple classes. Weather should be great to jump start your skills for the season.
Private Lessons
April 4, 2025 (Friday)
Unique private class opportunity. Two students max. We’ll run 10-3 or so, but being private we’ll play it by ear. Also since private I will cater the course to you and whatever you’d like to work on. I can also fast track you through both the above two days. If you struggle with swingers for example we can work on that. Cost is $400 per person. I did not set this up on Praciscore so please contact me directly; call, text or email to register.
Contact me with any questions or issues with registering. (Registration will open January 27, 2025) Big thanks to Matt for allowing me to use his awesome facility. Hope to see you in a few months!

Competition Movement
April 6, 2025
Competition Movement class. This will focus on efficient movement in a competition environment. Max 4 students as it’s more dynamic and can’t really have a bunch of people moving at once. I still recommend 500 rounds + but this is generally less rounds as we’re not focused as much on shooting though there will still be plenty of it. Also 9:30 to 3:30 ish.
