New to competition shooting-- where to train?
Hi guys,
Few of my co-workers and I are interested in getting into competition shooting just for fun... whether Steel Challenge, or IPSC... Wanted to know if you guys have any suggestions for training... like, are there any places that offer courses or for practice? I found a few places that do the Steel Challenge or IPSC, but they are "MATCHES" only. Thanks in advance! |

Also, The ISI Shootists ranges at Piru (both IDPA and Steel Challenge ranges) are open 7 days a week to their members too. Like at the Deadwood Boys, Mike and Steve need to know you (or come recommended by a trusted member), as there are no range officers. Me, I happily belong to both. Both are great clubs run by really good guys! |

I live in the SFV and that is about how long it takes me to get out there. It is tough to find a local range that will allow real practice for competition-type shooting since most don't allow holsters, moving around, or rapid firing.

Tell you what...there is a match this Saturday. It costs nothing to watch. Come on by, introduce yourself and take a look. Everybody out there is nice and friendly and helpful. Follow the directions online. Talk to the cook (Latin Guns) under the shade of bay 3 if things have already started. Like Mazda, I live in the SF valley and it takes me 45 minutes. Maybe I should carpool with Mazda.....

Yeah, true. Or even metal targets. Angeles Shooting Range's metal targets are fun, but even then it's just recreational.

You can always view the weekly matches as training/practice especially if you are looking to shoot a major match. Norco USPSA cost $35/match, 6 stages every Saturday. The matches are open and welcoming. Let the match director.range officers know you are new (they see about hooking you up with an appropriate squad).
If you want to take a class, guys like Bob Hostetler at DTT and JoJo Vidanes at Norco Running Gun are readily accessible. There are other 'big name' guys that have classes too. I see Taran Butler and Bruce Gray around a bit more frequently than some of the others. |
