benos Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 One of my goals has been to visit every US state.I've been thinking - I do enjoy traveling to matches (SCSA, USPSA, etc) and shooting at different ranges. To date I've been to matches in 16 States - If I could swing about 2 matches a year in a new State I could have shot a match in every state by the time I'm 60 (Depending on the work $ situation). Or maybe I should just wait till I retire and be a Nomad shooter. How many states have you been to? Any one shot every state in the US? just wondering... Haven't shot a match in every state, but I've been to every state except Hawaii. Actually seen the state from back roads and state routes is more accurate. If you want to experience a state stay off the freeways. The last few states I went to... up until then I didn't have a goal of going to every state. I was in Massachusetts doing something, shooting a match probably, and had a week to kill before the next Area Match. I was looking at the map thinking, hmmm, where do I want to go. When I realized that Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire were the only 3 states I hadn't been to. So I headed north. Maine was awesome. The weather was just turning nice (early summer) and the people were awesome. Deinitely near the top of my list for the "nice people/state" category. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Are we listing states we have shot in? or are we listing states we have visited? If the later, many of us can add a significant number I would think. I said 11 for places I've shot a match (so far) Visited or at least driven through easily an additional 20.

Jim Norman Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Got to thinking about matches I've shot and realized I left out a state, Arkansas. Shot a great match in abysmal weather there this last spring. Brings the states up to 12. Only 38 to go for a grand slam tour. Anyone have the winning numbers for tonight's lottery???
