Moving to Mobile, Alabama

[jmtew]

As the title says, I am moving to Mobile for work in a couple of weeks and was wondering if someone could point me to any club matches in the area. I saw posts dated 2008 for matches/clubs in Mobile and the surrounding areas. I just wasn't sure if those clubs were still active. I have mostly shot IDPA, but am open to shooting other matches. I would love to shoot 3gun just as soon as I can figure out how to convince wife I NEED the gear to shoot ?.

check out the Alabama Section web site and click on "Google Map - All Clubs".

There is USPSA up in vinegar bend AL. We also shoot IDPA in Cantonment , FL. There used to be more stuff over in Biloxi/ocean springs Mississippi area as well. They do two gun at k&m in baker FL but that's a good 2 hours or so away.

There's an IDPA in Pensacola Florida once or twice a month. I believe one match is a full match and the other is a mini-match with a short rifle/shotgun stage at the end. Also, there's two monthly 3 gun matches nearby in Mississippi. Unfortunately 3 gun shut's down during the summer months but will start back up this fall. The action nearby is primarily USPSA.

Here's the monthly USPSA matches I generally shoot (I'm in mobile)

1st Saturday - Vinegar Bend, AL, Mobile Pistol Shooters. info at http://mpsa.us/

2nd Saturday - BPSA - Woolmarket, MS (Biloxi, MS) about an hour from Mobile. Info at http://smsps.com/category/bpsa-match-news/

2nd Sunday - SMPSA - Poplarville, MS about 1.5 hours from Mobile. Info at http://smsps.com/category/smpsa-match-news/

3rd Saturday - Vinegar Bend, AL - Mobile Pistol Shooters. Info at http://mpsa.us/

3rd Sunday - Pearlington, MS - About 1.5 hours from Mobile. Info at http://smsps.com/category/mgcps-match-news/

4th Saturday - Steel Challenge (actual Sanctioned USPSA Steel Challenge Club) - Woolmarket, MS (Biloxi, MS) about an hour from Mobile. Not sure of the website, but it's at the same range as BPSA and it's hammer down at 9am.

There's also a USPSA in Dothan, AL and new one trying to start up in Baker, FL. Mobile Pistol Shooters is also starting ICORE matches on the fifth Saturdays of months with five Saturdays.

Hopefully you'll come to your senses and move on over to USPSA Anyway... Welcome to Mobile, hope to see you on the range (Note that your first match with Mobile Pistol Shooters is FREE...)

Thanks for all the responses. Once my family and I are settled into the area I will definitely have to give the USPSA shoots a try.

This pretty much covers it. IDPA at ERGC in Cantonment, FL is the 3rd Sunday and 4th Saturday of every monthy.

Be sure to check out Gulf Coast Gun Forum (http://gulfcoastgunforum.com/forum.php) for updates as well.

A couple of us are going to Biloxi USPSA match this coming Saturday, 6/13, if you're interested in coming. There will be a couple IDPA matches in Cantonment later in the month, as well. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to those, but you're welcome to ride with me if I do. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
