2026-05-11 First Responders Hit Factor Match hosted by Firearm Logic at Phoenix Rod & Gun Club

Firearm Logic is hosting Arizona’s only all day First Responder local match, consisting of five full size stages with a 150 to 200 round count. There will be three start times to accommodate different schedules. If it is your first time, it is recommended that you bring approximately double that amount of ammunition.
This match is built to support our first responders who are at the forefront of every emergency response. Practical shooting provides a structured environment to apply fundamental firearm skills on demand in dynamic stages, reinforcing consistency, accountability, and performance under pressure.
Match Schedule
Morning Match
9:00 AM start time
Squad 104 is reserved for unit support with Dennis. Units may utilize this squad for structured guidance during the match.
Midday Match
1:00 PM start time
Squad 204 is reserved for unit support with Dennis. Units may utilize this squad for structured guidance during the match.
Main Match
5:00 PM start time
This time slot is restricted to law enforcement personnel only. Fire and EMS participants, as well as sponsors, are not eligible for the 5:00 PM main match.
The main match will have dedicated Range Officers on each stage responsible for running the timer and scoring tablet to ensure smooth and consistent match flow.
The main match will also have a designated law enforcement mentor who will shoot first on every stage to demonstrate stage pacing and execution. After their run, the mentor will assist the squad with stage planning, safety, and performance guidance.
If you have never shot a match before, match etiquette requires self RO squads. This means everyone on the squad must help with the tablet, timer, and especially resetting. Only the on deck shooter should be walking the stage while another shooter is actively shooting.
Who is considered a First Responder and can sign up for the match?
Active sworn law enforcement currently employed in a position with arrest powers
Active full time EMS or firefighters assigned to 911 response
Firearm Logic also supports specialized units through structured training sessions outside of the match environment. Units interested in dedicated training can coordinate directly at dennis@firearmlogic.org.
How do I know if I have the right gear?
Your duty gear is sufficient. Otherwise, whatever gear you have available will work. At a minimum, you should have a firearm, at least three magazines, a holster, magazine pouches, a belt, eye and ear protection, and ammunition.
How do I know if I selected the right division?
That is okay. Select any division.
Can I shoot the match multiple times?
Yes. Multiple sign ups are allowed, and each additional entry will receive a 10 dollar discount.
Only your first score will count. All additional scores will be removed.
You may not shoot the same time slot twice. Each entry must be in a different time slot.
Only First Responder competitors will be eligible for random prize giveaways. The match director will randomize selections after all shooters have completed the match. Selected shooters will receive prizes from sponsors and can coordinate pickup with the match director.
This is a pistol only event and will follow USPSA style rules using hit factor scoring with modified outlaw divisions.
