The Wildgats

- The Wildgats are a collegiate shooting team for the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) at the University of Arizona. SASP is dedicated to teaching sportsmanship, firearms safety, and the fundamentals of marksmanship to athletes from 12 years old through college. We are proud to represent the University of Arizona at the collegiate level in rimfire and centerfire pistol, rimfire rifle divisions, 1911, and pistol caliber carbine.

 

- We regularly practice steel shooting in timed courses of fire, emphasizing safety and accuracy for beginning, intermediate, and advanced athletes.

​

SASP Steel Shooting

- SASP Steel shooting is centered around 6 courses of fire, shot from a static position, under the supervision of a Range Safety Officer or Coach. The shooter's performance is based on the time taken to shoot all targets.  The courses of fire are: Speed Trap, In and Out, Focus, Go Fast, M, and exclamation point. You can learn more about SASP at sssfonline.org.
