International or Olympic Pistol in Mid Altantic States???

[John Ciccone]

I was on the USAS site a short while ago looking for Free Pistol events. They had listings only in the state of Virginia (2 clubs). When I checked the following states: NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, and WVA, no events were listed. Do any of you know of clubs in those states that sponsor Free Pistol or other International pistol events?

Is there a person or organiation that contacts clubs to encourage them to offer International pistol events?

Regards,

You might find a few more matches in your area with FP if you check for NRA sanctioned matches.

It is next-to-useless, but there is a NRA event calendar at https://www.nrahq.org/clubs/events.asp -- it is just almost never used. The Shooting Sports magazine may have something but you can't read it unless you subscribe.....

The USAS site is not bad, I have found.

Best,

There just isn't a lot of activity in the mid-Atlantic area at this time. Kathy Callahan is running AP matches at the 12th Precinct Pistol Club in Annapolis, MD, and has expressed some interest in doing FP. I held a few at Sanner's Lake in deep southern MD about 10 year ago, but there was no interest

My advice would be to find a friendly club and host a few matches yourself. Trust me, nobody cares if the match organizer shoots.

Try www.tsra..com/NRA_Sub.htm.

It's the official NRA website of all their Approved and Registered matches as listed in Shooting Sports but it's maintained by members of the Texas State Rifle Assn.

If you can make it up to PA at the end of June for the PA Intl Pistol State Championships go to www.wbrp.org.

Hold center,
