Join us in an accuracy pistol league. Unlike regular Poker your hand is not dependent on
the luck of the draw, although a little luck helps. You chose your own hand by shooting
the cards of your choice.
1. Players must purchase a HRTF approved Pistol Poker Target for each hand played. Targets Cost: $4.
2. Handguns only, rimfire or centerfire. One handed and two-handed grip is permitted. Red Dots
permitted. No magnified optics or scopes. No shooting rests.
3. Players will fire 5 shots at the target placed at 10 yards (no shot shells allowed).
4. Players will make their best 5 card poker hand from the cards hit.
5. Target scoring will be used, i.e. if the shot hits the edge of a card clearly breaking the line, it will count
as a hit on the card.
6. A card can only be counted once per hand (target).
7. If a shot breaks the line of more than one card, the card containing the largest portion of the hit shall
be counted.
8. If a card has 2 or more hits and one of the hits breaks the line of another card, then that hit may be
counted on the other card.
9. If less than 5 cards are hit, the hand must be made from the cards hit. No additional shots may be
taken.
10. If more than 5 hits are found on a target, it will be disqualified.
11. Shooting another player’s target will be cause for disqualification.
12. The players will print and sign their name on the target and identify the 5 cards that make up their
hand.
13. Hands will be scored in accordance with the rankings shown below and the GLD Poker Rankings.
14. Jokers not used, count as a miss.
15. High Card. A hand with no matched cards is called high card. With two competing high card
hands, the hand with the highest-ranking card wins. If the highest-ranking unmatched cards tie,
the next highest-ranking unmatched cards are compared, and so on.
16. Rules for Aces. In a straight, the ace can rank either high or low, depending on the card
sequence. The ace is high in the sequence A-K-Q-J-10. Aces rank low in the sequence 5-4-3-2-A.
You cannot use the ace to wrap a lower sequence with a higher sequence, such as 3-2-A-K-Q.
Cash Payout for First Place – $50 , Second Place – $25 , Third Place- $10
A TIE-BREAKER WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY MAY 4, 2024 AT 1:00 PM if needed.
