Welcome from an ex-Navy puke. Sorry it had to be Maryland. I am in the middle of moving to WV as we speak. Lots of USPSA, IDPA, and 3-gun around here. Lots of individual club shooting events of diverse types also. Long range shooting to 1000 yards and beyond. 2 and 3 man multigun. Ruger Rimfire and Steel Challenge. Massive steel events like the PSA Shootout. Machinegun shoots.
Because they would like to take them away we tend to shoot them even more.
