Targets will be a mixture of paper and reactive swingers.

Ill be there. Will you be at the range at all during the week? I would like to work on sighting in my gun on the 100 yard range. Im also guessing that you haven't gotten any of my emails.

Do you hold these events on a regular basis? I would really like to come, but it turns out that I will be at a convention that week. I haven't seen to many places in SEPA that have outdoor pistol competitions let alone carbine matches. I would like to get involved in the sport. Was hoping to watch a few before I decided to enter my first match.

[shrewd]

just come out and give it a try man. its not really anything super strict or formal, it's just a group of like minded people having a good time

[john doe]

We have one almost every month.

There is no point in watching first. Just come to one whenever you are able and participate. We are friendly and welcoming to beginners and it's casual regarding unnecessary procedural/equipment rules one may encounter in idpa etc.


It's also run what you brung.... ar15 and ak semi autos are by far the most popular but you could shoot a bolt 1903 and a ruger vaquero revolver if you wanted to. .22 is even allowed.

In, hopefully I have my 930 by then too so I can shoot some clays. See you guys then.

Very Cool!!!

That range is only about an hour and 15 minutes from me. Not a bad drive. I might just have to check out next months event if you are having one. I will keep my eyes open for an announcement.

I literally just got my AR this past week and am still playing around with it. Haven't shot a rifle in years, but it seems to be coming back really quick. Just learning the new to me platform and I have to say it is God damned fun.

Glad to hear that your events are pretty casual and laid back. I have been wanting to get involved in IDPA and other competitions simply for fun. I am just picking up shooting again and haven't shot a lot since I was a teenager. Looking for a group of non-critical folks that I can learn from and develop my skills without all the political BS that can sometimes go along with competitive sports.

Keep me posted.

[LostinGermany]

We shooting clays this time, Shawn? Rather, did you fix your shotgun?

Ben, that 930 come in?

[brownman]

Ben, that 930 come in?

No sir, they said a couple weeks, still waitin. Fingers crossed.

As soon as you have a date set up for May, assuming you have one of these events every month, please send me a PM so that I can put it on my calendar.
