Glockgirl, check out USPSA.org and IDPA.com and use their club finder thread for clubs that may be near you (relatively speaking). As was stated GSSF matches are another option as well as bowling pins. Enjoy your G17 and welcome to the forum.

this GSSF, what do they do there and do they have a link? Haven't heard of it myself and I'm interested now haha.

And yes, there's a ton of different matches. I don't know how far your willing to drive but in the Hampton roads area they offer IDPA at NCRR. it's fun and that's where I started. The stages aren't to complicated and gets you trigger time. If you look in a few other topics. They will explain IDPA in detail.

Also, in NC they offer USPSA. It's a little more aggressive then NCRR but a blast all the same. again, other topics here can explain it a great detail.

Those are the two I've done personally and recommend. You won't need much if you just want to go have some fun. Gun and a few magazines and a way to carry it all.

Check out North Mountain.www.northmountainps.com .....great club outside of Strasburg Va.

my wife and I run it...great little club

we shoot on the 3rd Sunday of the month with sign up on the Monday night before the 3rd Sunday.

come out and watch a match so you can get a feel of whats going on-- safety rules, gear you need, etc.

Welcome! If you got your gun for protection, it is very important that you practice with it regularly. I also suggest shooting one of the handgun sports such as IDPA, USPSA, PPA etc. You might also find out that it’s a heck of a lot of fun too.
