swhiteh3 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just another introduction here... I'm from the Charlotte area, and an engineer in NASCAR by trade. I kinda dove into competitive shooting headfirst about a year ago (with previous experience in the tactical side of shooting), and have been doing quite well in local Ruger Rimfire, Steel plate, and other small matches. I have a LONG ways to go, so I'm looking for guidance as I start working my way towards USPSA, IDPA, and 3-gun competitions. I will be at the Ruger Rimfire Nationals in PA this year for my first taste of high-end competition. I can't wait! -Scott Whitehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 There is lots of good shooting in the Charlotte area. Check out www.ncsection.org for a list of USPSA matches in NC. There are also matches in Spartanburg, SC and Columbia, SC that aren't too far away. I know there are USPSA matches in the area, but can't give you any details.

Check out xxxxxncsectionxxxxxx [link removed due to my post count] for a list of USPSA matches in NC. There are also matches in Spartanburg, SC and Columbia, SC that aren't too far away. I know there are USPSA matches in the area, but can't give you any details. Well I had a nice response written, but it deleted my response and kicked me back because I don't have enough posts to include a link. How frustrating! I should have written in my initial post that I'm especially interested in hearing from people in my area, because I'd really like to participate in more local events. I've been mostly to competitions at Point Blank Range [no link due to post count] and mostly on weeknights since my job has me traveling nearly every single weekend. But I'd like to do more events in the area, especially once the race season is over. I'll check out the website you posted. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Eagle Guns near the speedway has some evening events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhiteh3 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the recommendation. Do you attend those events at Eagle Guns? It's certainly an easy drive for me, but the website only lists 8/21 (last week). Are they on a regular basis? -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
