    I am an AGC member, but thinking I would like to try 3 gun or idpa events. Where can I get started?

    york has a variety of single and multigun games

    look on www.practiscore.com for various events around you.

    thurmont conservation and sportsmens club (tcsc) hosts some idpa, uspsa and 2/3 gun matches.

    look thru the Competitive Shooting forum here.

    peacemakernational.com is prob 2 hours west of you, but they host a variety of falling steel and 2 & 3 gun matches, as well as precision rimfire and precision rifle matches.

    Anne Arundel Fish and Game in Annapolis runs several IDPA/USPSA matches a month. They are a great club to get you started. Very friendly folks

    There’s action shooting right in your back yard at the AGC. You can even volunteer to help build the new action shooting ranges and save some $ on your range badge renewal.

    https://associatedgunclubs.org/action_shooting/

    Arlington Rifle and Pistol club also hosts their own 3gun events and Tuesday night steel shoots at the AGC. Check their calendar for more details.

    Thanks for the info on AGC. I heard that something was in the works, but did not know about this. Also interested in the IDPA option at AA.

    3-gun is like dope, if you do it once everything else becomes practice for it(been there done that).
    I really want to get into it, but just haven't found the personal situation yet to make it feasible. Been shooting a lot of IDPA at the NRA range, though... even cracked the top half of the field at my last match, which doesn't sound like an accomplishment, but felt like it. :)

    Good advice from a good guy - USPSA and falling steel is so much fun and totally addictive. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    This just popped into my head...you can shoot one IDPA match without a membership, but as far as I know, and I will be corrected if I’m wrong, you never need a membership to shoot USPSA.

    Not true, you can shoot local uspsa, your classifiers just won't count.

    the match is full, but you're welcome to come out to peacemaker's 3 gun match saturday and hang out in my squad (#6) for the day. great chance to ask questions, see everyone's gear, get a feel for the game, etc.

    i'm going to be hunting, but there is a 3 gun match at thurmont sunday, sure they won't mind you spectating, especially if you help reset!

    also there should be an idpa match there tuesday, starting at 0830 and prob going on for 4 hours or so. i'm planning on doing this.
