We are the MIT Pistol Team

We compete in Olympic-style precision shooting with both air pistols and .22 caliber pistols. The team is open to all student members of the MIT community, but the focus is on undergrads. Undergraduate members of the team will get the opportunity to compete with other institutions at several home and away matches, and the season culminates with a national competition in March! We are located in the basement of the Z-Center/DuPont (W31) at MIT.

Joining the Team

We have started the 2024-2025 season and are not recruiting additional members for Fall at this time. If you’d like to receive information about our Spring/IAP recruiting, please fill out this interest form: (https://forms.gle/aTZMnUoUPB8vZfFbA)

If you’d like other ways to get involved with pistol shooting, you can sign up for one of the MIT PE classes. Also, all members of the MIT community (students, faculty, alumni, current affiliates) are able to join the Tech Pistol & Rifle Club (Tech PRC) – contact hayami@mit.edu or visit the website for more information.

If you are a Harvard student, consider joining the Harvard Pistol Team. You can find more information about them here.
