Dont let a little adversity keep you away :-) I shot a whole season one handed due to a bum shoulder.

Hello Shooters! Just a reminder we have a match this coming saturday in Dickson. This is a pistol only IDPA match, 5 stages 72 rounds. [/url] Greg Bell http://twitter.com/mctsclub http://mctsclub.com

I bought this one for $95 RCBS RangeMaster 750 Electronic Powder Scale 750 Grain Capacity 110 Volt - MidwayUSA After I bought mine Enos started selling this one for $75 BrianEnos.com Electronic Digital Powder Scale

Several area IDPA clubs also host 3-gun and rifle/shotgun side matches Music City Tactical Shooters Gallatin Gun Club Henry County Gun Club

I framed mine with 2x6's & 4x4's for the legs and found a surplus solid wood door for the top. Before: Material: Bench: Press Mounted:

Sanctioned by IDPA or USPSA both have websites. If you can safely draw and handle a handgun as well as follow basic instructions you will be welcomed at any IDPA or USPSA match.

Since you are in Nashville there are several IDPA & USPSA matches within an hour drive. Non are TGO affiliated but these matches are open to the general public so come on out. Next IDPA match is Jan 2 http://mctsclub.com in Dickson

We have clear bags to cover targets. We will be good to go unless it gets dangerous, which isn't likely based on the forecast.

This Saturday Dec 19th we will be having an IDPA match 5 stages 80 rounds. We also will be having a shotgun side match 17 rounds of bird shot and 5 slugs. As always at MCTS long guns must have a chamber flag, if you need one we have them available for a nominal cost. Tom Snipes will be the match director for this match, we look forward to seeing all of you on the range. Music City Tactical Shooters - IDPA Nashville Music City Tactical (mctsclub) on Twitter

I know conventional wisdom says to start with a single stage or turret, but I waited until a good deal on a Dillon 650 came along. I can crank 500 rounds an hour taking my time, no where even near pushing the limits of the machine.

Yea my wife will be flying back into town that morning, it would be poor form to tell her to take a cab.

Allan, Tom Snipes the Asst Match Director for the club will be running the match on the 19th. Tom will put out some good stages, there will also be a shotgun side match. Greg

Allan, Thanks the stages were ok, but I think we have had our fill of standards type stuff for now! Look for some more run-n-gun type stuff from us for awhile.

Allan, It will be good to see you back, make sure your friends are coming ready to shoot!

The weather may be cool but we will still be hosting a pistol only IDPA match this Saturday. I look forward to seeing all of you there. Music City Tactical Shooters - IDPA Nashville

I've seen those warnings before, I'm not sure if the products from the VET are any safer but that is what we use.

Thanks! I did turn out that way didn't it? I had intended it to be pretty straight forward, but I think as a result it became pretty competitive. That woods walk just plain wore me out.

Typically

Shooters! Join us this Saturday Nov 21st for our IDPA match 5 stages 102 rounds. We will also have a rifle side match in the woods 30 rounds. The weather is forecasted to be great. See everyone there! Greg Bell http://www.mctsclub.com http://twitter.com/mctsclub

Music City Tactical and Gallatin gun club both usually do a couple a year. We also both alternate rifle and shotgun side matches after our normal IDPA matches. Music City Tactical Shooters - IDPA Nashville Gallatin Gun Club Web Site

The nice thing about Stones River is that they do run a tight ship. Public ranges can be a bit scary when the village idiot shows up to shoot. I did notice if you are not a complete idiot and can hit your target they don't seem to get riled at rapid fire. I took my new AR upper over there to get the scope dialed in. After I was done with that I took it off the rest and did some quick doubles to get used to the JP brake and it didn't seem to phase them.

Nice shooting Rick!

Good match by Robert. I had a good time, didn't shoot worth a damn but still had fun! Thanks go to Jeff Stone for running the last stage for me, as I had to scoot.

Depending how far you are to the highway I'd say an hour from that area. I'm off OHB on the south end of town and it takes me 10 minutes just to get to 65 and then another hour to get out there.
