How far away is your range?

[Rub'n]

6 miles = 10 minutes...SWEET!

[boz1911]

My practice area is 6 miles but the outdoor matches I can shoot are all 1-1 1/2 hour drives each way. The company is always good though !

[AzShooter]

One range is 35 miles one way, next range is 40 miles each way and the third is 75. I only shoot the far one once a month.

[BhmJeep]

Back yard range.

400 yards across the street to dial in long distance stuff.

Matches 45 min local drive.

Will travel a couple of states if it's a good one.

Since I'm new to the USPSA/IDP world, what makes a good match?

[havotec1]

Our local club is only 10 minutes from my home, great range and members. There is a match of some kind every weekend.

[steel1212]

I have a range I can test loads and zero on about 3 miles from my house but no running and gunning.

For me any matchs its a hour each way for the closest and then goes up.

[bayoupirate]

Right on the back end of the property.

1/4 mile from my back door.

Can't use that as an excuse.

Simple, good folks, good food, and good prizes!

Honestly, there has only been 1 match that I didn't care for sofar, and it had to do with stages sharing bays, felt a little unsafe even though it was ran appropriatly.

[Bob DuBois]

Indoor five min. MSSA ten min.

[blaster113]

practice and Sunday club matches at the only public range on the island; 15-20 minutes away

[Chris iliff]

100 feet, you'd think I'd be a GM by now!!!

[mrmetalweld57]

About fifty steps out the basement door to practice, about 2 hours to a match. Ed

[mike cyrwus]

2 left turns and one mug of coffee long.

[sdwilliams]

Closest is about 20 minutes from me but the only time I can go there is for matches as I am not a member and unfortuntely, there's a 2-year waiting list. Another roughly the same distance that we go to for matches; not sure if/how I can pratice there. Anything else ranges from 1-2.5 hrs.

Sherry

[Tzygä]

Outdoor range is 30-35 minutes drive for me.

[jmurch]

Rio Salado 8 min.

[Team Amish 1]

[Greg in VA]

1 is 25 minutes, another is 50 minutes.

Lots of indoor matches nearby, my home club which is outdoors is 100km away, about 40-45 minutes and the closest USPSA is about an hour away

[JxMAN25]

I can get to 5 ranges with in an hour.

[pvhendrix]

198.6 miles and 3.5 hours 1 way.

[GrumpyOne]

The indoor range I practice at is 3 minutes away, outdoor range is 1 hour. XDNiner belongs to the Gainesville Target Range, where he practices, I don't, so I go to a Lake City, FL range in the national forest. Believe it or not, the matches I usually shoot are 13 hours, ONE WAY, at BGSL. But they only get shot on vacation....

[anilson]

My private range is 10 min away

local club match once and month is 1 hour each way

shoot every weekend in Mass 3 hours each way (but worth it)

Adam

[LexTalionis]

I can practice at a local rock pit 17 minutes away.

Local match is 25 minutes away.

[TerryO]

Nearest USPSA Club, just over the hill. Of course it's West Texas flat so that means over 90 miles one way, next closet 120 miles. That's why my brand new F250 has 13000 miles on it in 5 months.

Nearest IDPA Club, 15 miles.
