hoytwt Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just wanted to say hello from the cold frigid state of Ohio. I am new to this site(obviously), but I have been reading alot of posts on here for a couple weeks now. I'm really wanting to get into 3gun, but I would like to shoot some USPSA matches because I know I need alot of practice with a handgun. I used to shoot sporting clays and was very close to master class when I decided to walk away from it. Please excuse my ignorance, I'm going in this totally blind, since I dont have any friends who are shooting these types of matches. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herky Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Plenty of good people in Ohio. Plug your info into this site: http://www.uspsa.org/locate-uspsa-clubs.php depending on your location you can find the USPSA clubs in your area.

hoytwt Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I am from Bucyrus, Half way between Columbus and Sandusky. I know I'm gonna have to do some driving This summer to get the range time I'm looking for. So far I have found the shoots at PCSI that I'm planning on going to, since I can shoot USPSA on saturday and 3-gun on Sunday. If anyone is attending these and wouldn't mind "showing the ropes" to a rookie, let me know. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 A bunch of us Cincy Dayton shooters make PCSI USPSA every month. You will get all the help you want just by introducing yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Circleville puts on a "state level" match every month, in my opinion. We have at least 3 GMs hanging around at every match. It's only possible because we have the best volunteers I've ever seen. Ever since I was the MD it's been "gates at 8, shooting starts when stages are built" and that tends to encourage helpers! Come on out. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Welcome to the forum. What type of pistol are you shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytwt Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks guys! Definitely planning on going to circleville a couple times this summer. Hopefully I can make it to the April shoot as long as I get all my gear by then. I was looking at cabin rentals in the area so we can make a weekend out of it. I am going to be shooting an m&p 9. I had to get the one with the thumb safety since both my local gun dealers said I better buy whatever I can find because people are buying guns like crazy. I know I could have gotten one off gunbroker but I couldnt beat the price I got mine for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
