Redwood Practical Shooters (RPS) is a local club on the Mendocino Coast of California. We are located near the towns of Fort Bragg, Caspar, and Mendocino. We are affiliated with the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA). Weather permitting, we hold monthly pistol matches from March through October. We run our matches for safety first, with a great group of men and women shooters of all ages and skill levels. We come together once a month to practice, share tips, and compete on a friendly basis.
Even a child knows how valuable the forest is. The fresh, breathtaking smell of trees. Echoing birds flying above that dense magnitude. A stable climate, a sustainable diverse life and a source of culture. Yet, forests and other ecosystems hang in the balance, threatened to become croplands, pasture, and plantations.
