No USPSA matches that I’m aware of very close to me but I’d definitely give it a try if there was.

Not for sure how different the rules are but I mostly just shoot the IDPA for fun and of course it is good self defense practice.

I shoot USPSA for fun but I’m also a competitive person. 3 rule differences i know are shot from behind cover, reload in cover. Shoot targets closest first. USPSA don’t have those rules.

Bangsteel in Bland VA. They normally have monthly matches and they also do long range shooting classes which range from a one day class to three day class I believe. It’s ran by Dan and Forest Newberry both very knowledgeable shooters. I took one of their day classes which more or less bypasses the beginner stuff. We shot out to 1200 yards with my .308 and my 6.5 creed then they let me do the mile target with my 338lm. They now have a Blackjack club that you can earn a decal, it’s actually 2165 yards so just 35 short of 1.25 miles which I plan on doing at sometime this summer hopefully.

Thanks all for the welcome. The mile target was on my list for long time before I made it happen and hopefully I’ll get to hit my next goal of 1.25 and 1.5 miles soon.

Are you hand loading your Extreme Long Range Ammo‽

No sir. I did hand load most of my match ammunition but since I became a father I really don’t have the time my two sons keep me pretty busy. As long as I can keep purchasing good match ammo I’ll shoot it till my son’s are a little older and I have more free time. They are only 5 and 9 now.
