Gene,
Thanks for your perspective. I will definitely look into the Wilson matches.

No, bad guess, but I set you up for failure. Today was actually a USPSA match at Paul Bunyan in Puyallup. My first one - had a blast and I didn't finish last  IDPA is next weekend (which will be my first IDPA match, also)

I shoot High Power. I may get into the action shooting stuff sometime but for now High Power is what I like doing...

Yeah, well, as a FAG (Former Action Guy), I'm just doing it out of nostalgia for many, many days spent at the range, and remembering how fun it was... Although last Friday, when I was leaving my nice warm, dry hospital and listening to the qual ranges in the background, the nostalgia was a little less than normal due to the pouring rain.... OK some things I no longer miss..... Or, in the words of my old Tm Sgt... "Hey, it's cold out, but at least it's a wet cold"
So what do you shoot in Hi-power matches? I have an old garand from the CMP that I love shooting (but of course, nowhere near match quality), I was toying with the idea of trying long gun competition one of these days...

Dog-Gone Snob!!! 
I went to my third 3-Gun match and ranked 8th out of 37. I wasn't the fastest, but I was the only one that shot a clean match. Not bad for a rookie. 
Are you still with the same crew JATX?

Yes, the same merry band of misfits. Give me a call sometime.

Here is a good article that was sent to me about the basics of long range shooting matches. Any feedback that anyone has on this article such as anything to add, edit, or omit, please do. Match_Basics

Here is the link to the local IPSC competition shooting around Fayetteville with results and links for the ranges.

I didn't see it up anywhere else so I thought it could help. Enjoy.

I shot the Rowan county one last Saturday and enjoyed it. There was less people than the matches at Sir Walter (North of Raleigh) but the stages weren't quite as big.
