Can someone help me, I was curious. I went to two matches late last year and fell in love with competing. I was in production class then but only had two qualifier stages between the two matches so I never actually got defined or classed or whatever its called. I now have gone all out and have a full open race rig and realize I will be starting back at zero qualifier stages in open class. Now my question is I really want to attend and shoot in as many major matches like Areas 4,5,6,8, and the VA/MD section Championships as possible but with the Area 6 coming up in just a little over 2.5 months will not being classified keep me from shooting in these major matches?? I dont want to sign up for all these major matches and drive like 20 hours if I am going to get told I cant compete when I get there.

Hello, so I live in Ohio and have been shooting for years both, for the military and for fun. I have been looking everywhere to try to find where the nearest USPSA match is and I am not able to find any in Ohio. Is there not shoots in every state? or am I just not finding them somehow? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going crazy setting up shoots and practicing in my back yard, I want a real competition! Thanks
