United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) matches have been running at the range for 8 seasons now.  The USPSA club was originally started in 2014 by Don Maher and Michael Day before moving to our current location.  Don is still very active in the matches by performing the role of Match Director for these events.  He is assisted by Scott Beebe and a host of volunteers.

We host 2 weekend matches every month on the 2nd Sunday and 4th Saturday from March through the beginning of November.  Most matches consist of 5-6 stages (4-5 field courses and a classifier) with an average round count of 150 rounds.  

Please check out the Calendar for upcoming matches, to register and to view results.  All competitors and spectators are expected to sign a liability release and follow all posted safety rules for the range.

Multi-gun competitions are one of the funnest segments of the practical shooting world.  Featuring the use of pistol, rifle (or PCC), and shotgun in the same stage, Multi-gun matches produce a very dynamic experience!  

DSS is excited to be able to continue to offer this style of match in 2023 with the support of our friends from Rubber City Armory.  We will be using a modified version of the UML rule set for this year. All of our matches are open to the public and you do not have to be a DSS Season Pass Holder or UML member to participate.

Matches are typically held on the 4th Sunday of the month from March through October.  DSS will also be hosting other multi-gun format matches throughout the year on the Saturday before our 2nd Sunday USPSA match. Please check out the Calendar for upcoming matches, to register and to view results.  All competitors and spectators are expected to sign a liability release and follow all safety procedures

Our multi-gun matches consist of 4-5 stage with an average round count for the match of 100 rounds each of pistol, rifle and birdshot and 5 shotgun slugs (but we always recommend that you bring more).

For more information, please Contact us directly.

We are using an older United Multi-gun League rules in 2024 until we complete our own rules. Therefore, our multi-gun match is now considered an “out-law” format and is not affiliated with USSL or UML. Here is a link to an Equipment and Rules Summary we have prepared.

Dynamic Steel is our "outlaw" steel match that is held on Wednesday nights throughout the year (weather permitting).  The format for this match is best described as Steel Challenge meets USPSA.   Matches are designed with 4-5 stages that can be completed in an hour to an hour-and-a half (depending on attendance).  The stages are different every week (we have attaches some example Stage Descriptions to this page).

This is a great match for both new shooters that are interested in giving the practical shooting sports a try and for experienced competitors looking to keep their skills sharp.  New shooters need a handgun or PCC, OWB holster, 3-4 magazines (15+ round capacity), 2-3 magazine pouches (or just use your pockets), eye and ear protection, and 150-200 rounds of ammunition.  Round count for the match is usually 90-100 rounds, but it is always good to bring some extra.

We will start running Dynamic Steel matches in 2024 during the week as soon as there is enough daylight, hopefully by the beginning of April and plan to continue them through the end of October.  There is no preregistration for these matches. Just show up ready to shoot between 3:00 and 7:00pm (we finish earlier later in the season). Cost for this match is $10 and re-shoots are only $5.  There is no need to pre-register for these matches.  All competitors and spectators are expected to sign a liability release and follow all posted safety rules for the range. 

Rules and equipment divisions are similar to other shooting sports, but we also have a rimfire division (pistol or carbine are acceptable). We are working to complete a dedicated set of rules and will post them HERE when complete. Scoring is time-plus-penalties, is kept electronically, and final results are posted on Practiscore.   Just type in “DSS” on the Scores page and all of the match results for Dynamic Shooting Sports will populate on their page.

The sample stages shown here are illustrative to help new shooter have a better understanding of what the course of fire might look like. These are not the actual stages that will be used. In fact, the stages change from one week to the next.

American Defense MFG is back again for 2024 as the title sponsor for our Rifle Series!  The rifle series will consist of a minimum of 4 matches for this season: 

Matches will consist of 4-5 Stages.  Round count should be around 175-200 rounds but we always suggest that you bring more.

We are working on writing our own set of rules for this series. However, this a larger task than we expected. As such, we will be utilizing an older set of United Rifle League rules and scoring for 2024.  We will provide a link to the rules HERE as soon as we can get them uploaded properly

Here are the divisions we will recognize at our matches for 2024:

Open – No limitations on accessories and rifle supporting devices may be added/removed at any time.  “Traditional” rifles only with 5.45x39 caliber or higher.

Limited – Rifles may be equipped with no more than (1) non-magnified optical sight, no rifle supporting devices. 

Tac Ops – Rifles may be equipped with no more than (1) magnified optical sight, no rifle supporting devices. 

Heavy – Rifles may be equipped with no more than (1) magnified optical sight, no rifle supporting devices (minimum 7.62X51mm NATO). 

PCC – No limitations on accessories for the carbine and supporting devices may be added/removed at any time. 

Rimfire - Same Open Division except only .22LR ammunition may be used.

Changes starting 2023 - Added the Rimfire Division (rimfire firearms may only be used in this division, unlike last season where they were allowed in other divisions). We will also be allowing “braced” carbines in all divisions, but they must adhere to the ammunition and all other equipment rules for those divisions.

These matches will be a trophy series for 2024. We feel this will allow us to recognize more shooters in more divisions. The scoring for our Rifle Series will be based on the URL’s time-plus-point method. At the end of the season, we will tally up the points for each shooter for the best 4 series matches he/she has participated in (best 3 matches if not able to shoot all 6 matches). The shooter with the highest amount of points will be declared the winner. So the more times you shoot, the better your chances at winning.

American Defense MFG has provided us with one of their UIC Mod2 Carbines and their 14.5” Competition Rifle.  We will have the rifle available for anyone to use at these matches.  Just bring some 55gr .223 Rem or 5.56mm ammo and you will be ready to play.

Please check out the Calendar for upcoming matches, to register and to view results.  All competitors and spectators are expected to sign our liability waiver and follow all posted safety rules for the range.

Make sure to follow American Defense MFG and all our business partners and sponsors on Facebook.  Thank you for your support…we will see you at the range!

We are excited to announce that the North-East Ohio 3-Gun Shoot-Off is back for its 5th year! In case you are not familiar, this match is a head-to-head, triple-elimination, 3-gun shoot-off. will be hosting the match this year back at Dynamic Shooting Sports, LLC in Deerfield, Ohio.

Here’s how things work:

All shooters should arrive between 8:00-8:30AM to sign in at registration. If any competitor or spectator hasn’t completed a waiver for the 2019 season, they will be asked to do so at that time. At 8:30AM, the Match Director will hold a short match and safety briefing that will include a blind draw to seed the the main bracket for the match.

When a competitor wins a head-to-head match, they will remain at that stage and continue to shoot in that bracket.  When a competitor loses, they will move to the next stage until they have lost 3 times:  losers from Stage 1 will go to Stage 2, losers from Stage 2 will go to Stage 3, and losers from Stage 3 will be done with the main match

Once the final 5 shooters have been determined, those competitors will head back to the first stage for a “ best-of-3”, “ladder-style” competition to determine the winner and final places.

All competitors will shoot at least 3 stages (plus the Side Stage).  However, most shooters will shoot many more stages that that.  Please take some time to review the brackets for the Shoot-Off from last year. You will see that you will want to make sure to bring enough ammunition. Last year’s winner came from the last losers bracket and shot 17 times to capture the win!

2019 Update - Our main field will be Tactical Optics/Limited, but we will also offer a division for Open provided that we have 8 competitors in order to field a competitive and fun bracket. United Multi-gun League rules will be used for equipment specifications.  .

Registration is Open.  We will have a link to registration HERE once it is live and we will make an announcement on our Facebook page. 

Cost for the match will be our regular monthly match fee per shooter.  Due to the nature of this event, you must pay online to secure your spot for the match.  There are only 32 slots for the main division of the match and 8 for the Open.  As payments are made, we will approve the shooters on a “first come, first served” basis.  We will also take a short wait list for this event.  Refunds will be given in-full if the withdraw request is made by Saturday, October 19, 2019.

We will be needing some volunteers to assist with this match as Range Officers.  There is no set-up or tear-down help required.  We just need help as Range Officers and directing competitors through the match.  2019 Update: RO’s will be shooting as part of the main match this year and not in a separate bracket. RO’s will not pay for their match fee. If you are interested in assisting, please complete a Contact form for us.

Any additional information for the match will be posted here and on our Facebook page.  Please check back or follow us on Facebook.
