USPSA Shooting Buddy Needed (Glen Burnie)

[Xshot]

Pretty sure its going to be cold next weekend too. I signed up hopefully the members are staying away and I get in.

Can't be colder than this weekend. It'll be around 15 at the start of the match tomorrow.

I'm not a member and have never been bumped out of a match.

Isn't this one closer than 1.5 hours? https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=204563

I shot that match earlier this year. I am equidistant to that range and Peacemaker. It takes me an hour and a half to get to either. I'll be shooting it again this year though. Love that one.

I am in Pasadena and travel all over for matches (USPSA, IDPA, 3gun). If you want we can meet up and have lunch and discuss what matches and stuff. A group of friends and I have a small team we go by, D3 Tactical.

Interested in learning more about getting into these as well. Any suggestions on where to start?

Peacemaker is about 1.5 hours from me. Quantico is 20 minutes from me. I'm going to try to drop by tomorrow or Sunday and see if I can get on the base with my current ID. They run a monthly USPSA and Steel Challenge match.

Best thing to do is come out and watch a match and see what it like and get to know people. Everyone will answer any questions you have at the time.

As far as where to go from your area, West Shore Practical Shooters in PA (about an hour 10 minutes from Nottingham) and Sanners Lake Sports man club in Lexington Park, MD (2 hour drive).

As long as your safe you can walk the course and shoot and get used to it and pick up the pace as you get comfortable with it and learn the rules.

I can shoot this weekend at Freestate right by the White Marsh Mall.

Also, make sure you're belt doesn't fall off during your run through the stage...

I can do a Saturday meetup for this weekend. I'm currently pondering going to the USPSA match at New Holland Practical Shooters in PA on Sunday morning approximately 140 miles. I have already registered but I'm holding to see what the weather is going to be. I'm not big into 3 gun but I do shoot IDPA and USPSA and steel I'm also a certified USPSA RO Lvl 1 and have worked the Alabama Sectional for the past 3 or 4 years and FL State Championship in 2015.

I have a gun for SS, Revo, Production if you need to use one at a match ammo is on you. They are easy games to learn except IDPA IMO to many Personal Opinions to be had by SO on what cover is and on and on I shoot it just to shoot lol.

Anyone wants to check my info on USPSA its A73735

New Holland's match has been cancelled this weekend. It was announced on their New Holland Practical Shooters Facebook page (for future reference).

quantico is having a uspsa match sunday. i'd love to go but 27 degrees is a bit chilly for me. they had some paperwork we had to fill out to get base access. sometimes they run my drivers license at the gate, sometimes they don't.

I'm also looking for a club that I can shoot outside in a bay style format and setup my own practice drills and steel.

You can do that at York IWLA, West Shore Sportsmen Club and New Holland Rifle and Pistol Club.

A couple caveats though:

At York, to gain access to back pits you need to volunteer 18 hours as well as take an orientation and pass an annual test. Otherwise, you'll most likely only have access to front pits, and only 1-2 bays are suitable for what you want to do. The third range is the rifle range. Plus the front pits are more crowded since access to the back pits is regulated. There are 4 pits in back.

At West Shore, targets can only be placed along back berm, but personal steel targets are allowed, provided they are of a kind that is approved.

At New Holland, there is not a rule that I am aware of that restricts where you place your targets. It just has to be safe. In addition, personal steel is allowed if approved. The only downside for me is that the range is 1.5 hours away. Also, membership has been capped for several years.

Hope this helps. There could be other ranges that meet your needs, but I'm only aware of the ones mentioned above.

peacemaker also but i think a long ways from the OP
ditto for 340 defense (when bays were free, they let folks do this)

In addition to the monthly 3-gun matches, the York IWLA also has Fun Shoots on the 4th Saturday of each month. They'll probably start again in February or March depending on the weather. The Fun Shoots are a great way to get started without the pressure of an actual match.
There is more information in this thread from last year https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=190017 and on the blog https://yorkpistol.blogspot.com/

I got an email they canceled the match at New Holland since I was registered (Sad Face). And I wanted to shoot this AM but that cold and snow not happening. I hope next weekend is better.

Anyone have any idea how long it takes or if they notify you after you submit all their paperwork for the vetting process to get on base?

iirc it was supposed to take a few days, and no news was good news. i'm not on facebook but look for quantico shooting club's facebook pg where i think that is spelled out and what to submit.
