Everyday Carry Match Description

Have you ever wanted to participate in a pistol match but dislike the heavy competition? Perhaps you want to test your skills but do not have access to shot timers and stages. Or maybe you are looking for an entry-level sport but are not interested in purchasing additional gear and equipment. Then PHA’s Everyday Carry Match might be for you. The PHA EDC Match is a sporting environment that provides an opportunity for competitors to use the equipment, skills, and techniques associated with their personal concealed carry handguns.
