DyNo! Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Me too. There's a shotgun/pistol match at River Bend Gun Club. Hope a local member down there will be in this thread soon to sell you on the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 There is a Tuesday night match on the SE side of town. I think there is also a Tuesday night match on the North side of town, and maybe a Wednesday night match. Here is a link to the GA Section web site. It's not the easiest to navigate, but it is a place to start. http://georgiaipsc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D roc Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 sounds good. now i have to convince the lady to let me take my guns. Going for her brothers wedding and she will be occupied with that the day before the wedding. so i thought i might as well go out and have some fun rather than sit in a hotel until the wedding.

ima45dv8 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 What part of metro Atlanta are you visiting, and what days will you be here? We could possibly hook you up with some gear if your lady vetoes bringing it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Sadly, I don't think there's going to be any scheduled matches going on while you're here (the holiday and all that). But since you'll be in downtown, keep your ears open and maybe you'll get to witness one of the impromptu events that spring up in that area.

BrianATL Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 2-gun pistol/shotgun match 11/26 at Riverbend gun club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 2-gun pistol/shotgun match 11/26 at Riverbend gun club Ahhhh. Thanks for the reminder. Chris W. sent a notice of upcoming matches with his match results last week and this was in it. He said in that email it would be Pistol Only unless Mark L. changes his mind. Do you know if Mark definitely decided on a 2-gun match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually witnessed one of those "events" but from what I have seen on the local TV stations, there's a lot less rules down there!

ima45dv8 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 umm should i be worried about downtown Atlanta? the wedding is at the Atlanta history Center. No more than any other major city. Act and look like you know what you're about, scan regularly and let folks see you're aware of your surroundings, and don't do dumb things.

BrianATL Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hmm, and I thought you were in the know Mark. Below is Mark L email Ladies and Gents, The USPSA 3-Gun listed on 11/19 is an error. The River Bend match for November will be the 26th and will be shotgun and pistol. Thanks!

DyNo! Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) D Roc, if you show up to the RBGC shotgun match, you're welcome to use my equipment if you send me a PM and have factory loaded 12 gauge shells. It's a great match! Edited November 8, 2011 by DyNo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Adamson Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 As a quick follow up, it will *indeed* be a 2 gun match... something like 6 stages, probably 2 pistol only, 2 shotgun only and 2 combined 2 gun stages. It will be the 4th Saturday at the RBGC range, starting at 10am, signup at 9am. I unfortunately will be on a cruise ship, but Mark, Larry, a Karl, and gang will most likely put on a great match. It's the saturday after tgiving, so it should give everyone *something else* to do beside eat turkey and watch college football .... Course I'm sure there are some who think there *is nothing else to do* besides the above ... Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should(!), but I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It is 2 hours East, but we are having a 3-gun match on Saturday the 26th at Pinetucky near Augusta, GA. If you can make that drive, I'll have all of the extra equipment necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
