IPSC is an international discipline for pistol, rifle and shotgun enthusiasts. It is characterized by a dynamic environment with reactive, moving and penalty targets as well as physical obstacles. This environment requires participants' continuous movement and attention while demanding speed and accuracy. 

ICORE is a demanding international competition exclusively for revolvers. It combines elements of the Bianchi Cup, IPSC, and the Steel Challenge. The idea behind the sport is to remove the “arms race” that is characteristic of other shooting sports and to use the most “basic” equipment while demonstrating your skill.

Bullseye Target Shooting is perhaps one of the oldest shooting sports. It has evolved into many different sub-disciplines and categories. At its most common, participants shoot from a fixed position at stationary, round, paper targets, attempting to hit the center of the target with slow, precise shots. 

Every Saturday afternoon, Sharon Gun Club hosts Practical Rifle, Practical Shotgun, Safari, and Western matches on Range 6. Any member with an appropriate firearm may attend the Saturday matches and demonstrate their skills under the direct supervision of the RO. Sharon Gun Club also regularly hosts IPSC rifle matches.

IDPA is a very dynamic competitive sport that focuses on self-defense tactics. Competitions involve complex environments that test the skills and abilities of the participants. To be IDPA approved at the Sharon Gun Club, the competitor must have valid IPSC Canada certification or CSSA CDPA certification. 

In Trap Shooting, participants use a shotgun to shoot flying clay targets called “birds” or “pigeons.” Trap has multiple variations but all revolve around the principle of 5 shooters hitting targets launched from a trap machine. The trap machine oscillates while throwing the targets away from the shooters, making each shot slightly different.

F-Class Rifle Shooting is a sub-discipline of the bullseye target shooting. F-Class is a precision long-distance target shooting sport, in which competitors shoot at targets located as far away as 300 to 900 meters. Like in all bullseye sub-disciplines, the objective is to place shots as close to the center as possible.

Western Cowboy Action Shooting allows competitors to dive into the atmosphere of the Old West while enjoying the thrill of competition. Sharon Gun Club occasionally hosts a Western Shooting League based on SASS rules. Competitors require a single action revolver, a level action rifle (in pistol caliber) or an approved shotgun such as a coach gun to participate.
