Too bad they don't cook more of them and a whole lot sooner! Robin

WOW!!! you guys have a nice place to play! Where is this club located? Robin

Oh that is too funny I can't wait to copy and show to some of my 3-gun buds who have ARs that are about that trashed out!!!!I shoot a Bushmaster superlight, with NO extra stuff at all, next to their guns it looks like well it looks like an AR!! Robin

Sweet, I had the chance to shoot an M1 years ago and loved it. I have been saying I'll get one ever since. They are nice shooters and a real piece of history to boot. I shoot IDPA at ORSA, you guys have a nice club. Robin

Welcome to the forum. Robin

You have done it know! After you get use to shooting the finest handgun in the known universe you will be ruined on all common weapons!Buy all the ammo you can find save your brass for reloading and start saving up for your next 1911! I have five and am always saving for my next one. God help you! ENJOY Robin

We usually shoot 4-stages, 1 long range rifle with some handgun thrown in sometimes and 3 close range CQB type stages where you will transition from one gun to another. We are not allowed to use 3- point slings at this time, when going from rifle or shotgun to handgun etc. you must clear your weapon, lock the bolt open and lay it on a table with the muzzle towards a designated safe direction.150 rds rifle, 75 rds birdshot 7.5 or smaller 100 pistol is usually plenty. Bring 10-15 slugs we use them sometimes.The close stages are my favorite, lots of steel including Texas-Star, plate rack and lots of poppers.IDPA targets are used for the close rifle and some handgun.We are not allowed to shoot steel with the rifles at any distance due to club regs. I hope this answers your questions, there is info on our website about specific round requirements when our illustrious match director remembers to post them! If I can be of any further help you may e-mail me at digitone@digitonegraphics.com Robin

Mostly a safe full of 1911's and smith revolvers, throw in an AR or two with an AK for good measure! Had a Glock a long time ago never really warmed up to polymer but in my old age I have started carrying a Kahr CW9. Basically I love anything that goes BANG! Robin

The Cleveland Hunting Rifle and Pistol Club, in Cleveland TN has several matches each month, the second Sat. at 9:00 am is a non sanctioned 3-Gun match, third Sat. at 10:00 am is IDPA, fourth Sat. is Cowboy Action. All matches are open to the public and anyone interested in shooting with us can get information at chrpc.com. The 3-gun match is just getting on its feet and there are usually only 10-15 shooters it is shot like uspsa and scored like IDPA so far it has been alot of fun. IDPA has been going for several years and will have 35-45 shooters and 5-6 stages it is a well run match.I do not shoot with the cowboy's but I have been out to watch, they have been at it for a while and have a good turnout. It looks like fun, I just don't have the toys required to play! I just thought I would pass this along for anyone in the area who would like to give any of these games a try. Visitors are welcome to come out and watch as well, everyone on the ranges are required to have hearing and eye protection whether they are shooting or not. Robin

Hello my name is Robin, I am a long time shooter and permit holder. I am currently shooting 2 IDPA matches and 1 3-gun match almost every month.When I am not competing I am somewhere practicing. In addition to this forum I also belong to the IDPA forum and Brian Enos's IPSC forum, there is alot of competition related info there. I do carry a gun where it is legal to do so , but I am primarily into shooting matches.Those of you who have not tried IDPA should check it out, while it is not "Tactical" training it is a good way to improve your gun handling skills while having fun and making new friends.
