My wife and I live in Canada, and are avid IPSC shooters. We are looking to travel much more next year, and are considering purchasing a condo/small house in the south west.
Our vacation time will be winter weekends, Christmas holidays, level 3/area shoots, etc.
Our main focus will be shooting or practicing skills when there, with a little local R&R.
We have been considering the Phoenix/Mesa area, or west of Ft.Worth area.
Any suggestions on what areas would give us the best access to USPSA ranges, mini matches, practice time? By practice time I don't mean standing at the firing line shooting 10yds at a bullseye target, but transitions, swingers, poppers, etc......
I was originally considering a condo in Mesa, but maybe something more rural would be cost effective if closer to an appropriate range? Scottsdale may be a little price prohibitive.
Any input would be appreciated!
