Dan Hefta Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The club that I run and am a member of is 90 miles from my doorstep. Needless to say I don't get much practice in there. After I step down, I am going to join a club that is 20 minutes from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 25 minutes to my practice range if there's no traffic. They also run USPSA and IDPA once a month. 15 minutes to the monthly indoor IDPA match. 35 minutes to one monthly USPSA match About an hour to another few USPSA and IDPA clubs A few more within 90 minutes. I shot six matches this month and the further I drove was about 85 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikaelR Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 My indoor range is 10min by foot. And the outdoor one about the same by car Matches on the other hand are pretty spread out. I'm a new shooter and have yet to shoot a match, but the closest ones will be (exept those my club arrange)about 125-200miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I find it strange, yet somewhat understandable. The more gun friendly a state in many instances the fewer official ranges and the less competitions. Obviously there are exceptions. Where there are more people and more restrictions we need to be more organized in order to have a place to shoot. As an example, here in the PR of NJ, we have between USPSA, IDPA and Steel at least 12 matches a month! Add in eastern PA and the number reaches a point where you have to select where you will and won't be shooting on any given weekend. As for ranges, I belong to 3 clubs in NJ and one in PA. From near to far 20 minutes from home or about 5 from work (I really need to practice on my lunch break!), about 30-45 minutes depending on what time and what day you are traveling, about one hour and about 1-1/2 hours. Matches range from 20 minutes for IDPA up to about 2 hours for the furthest regular non-special circumstances match. There are an additional half dozen matches that can be reached in 3-5 hours. As for ranges. it boggles my mind just how many ranges there are within say 2 hours for Central NJ. Eastern PA, much more friendly than NJ you can give directions that sound like this. Drive down XX Road, pass two gun clubs and make a right, go three gun clubs, hand a left and enter the second gun club on the left!. NJ isn't that good, but we have probably a couple dozen clubs with ranges. Some are strictly Bullseye type, some are strictly Shotgun, others are more multi-purpose and hold a considerable number of different matches every month.
