2025 Progressive Position Pistol Regional
The Maspenock Rod and Gun Club proudly hosted the 2025 Progressive Position Pistol Regional competition on May 18th, drawing youth athletes and shooting sports enthusiasts from across the region for a day of precision, sportsmanship, and exceptional marksmanship.
Sanctioned by Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF), the event showcased the talents of junior athletes participating in the Progressive Position Pistol (PPP) discipline, which helps develop fundamental pistol skills in a safe and structured environment. Competitors ranged in age and skill level, progressing through supported, one-handed, and eventually the international open positions as part of the PPP development program.
"The growth of pistol shooting starts with our volunteers, coaches, and parents—they are the backbone of these athletes' success," commented James Hall, SSSF Programs Manager for International Rifle and Pistol. "We’re excited to continue building on the Progressive Position Pistol youth program and to make precision pistol a truly competitive and thriving discipline nationwide.”
The Maspenock Rod and Gun Club, a long-standing supporter of youth shooting programs in Massachusetts, provided a welcoming and professional environment, ensuring a smooth and successful competition. The club extends its sincere gratitude to all volunteers, sponsors, and families who contributed to making the event a success.
“This event reflects the dedication of young athletes, their families, and coaches who are helping grow the next generation of competitive pistol shooters,” said Manny Snyderman, match director at Maspenock Rod and Gun Club. “We were honored to host such a spirited and disciplined group of competitors.”
