Shooting sports in Terre Haute?

[Sasquatchhunter]

Is there anything going on in Terre Haute. I would like to shoot clays or just about anything. Whats around? Thanks

Check out the Lost Creek Conservation Club. They have single-pigeon trap either once a week or once a month, and also have pistol and rifle ranges. You can find out about dues and join at Favre's Guns. The property is out by the "international" airport and a little north. (around Seeleyville)

There is also Terre Haute Clays north of town on 63 a bit, but I never went there.

USPSA pistol matches and Steel Challenge at Riley Conservation Club. RCC also holds silhoutte and Muzzle loaders matches. See links below. ACT holds USPSA matches in our Instructional League which is held at Greencastle which is not that far from you.

Favre's is located at 520 N 42nd St just off of Fruitridge Ave.

Favre's telephone number is 235-0198. Dues for Lost Creek Conservation Club are $50 annual. New members I believe are $60.

Riley Conservation Club in Riley is awesome. I drive down from Indy to shoot in their Steel and USPSA matches. They are a blast.

Here's is one of the stages from a Riley/WVPPS match:

I drive from Evansville for WVPPS matches. They are a blast!

 

[Sasquatchhunter]

cool! Thanks guys. I dont have a good pistol to do the match shoots, hopefully after the tax check comes that might change! Can you do it with just a full size handgun? You dont have to have a race gun or anything like that right.

Absolutely not. A used Glock 17, XD, or M&P is a great way to start if you want to shoot an auto. A 625, or 610 is great for revolver.

Just tell us what you are looking to get and we'll tell you what to bring. They have several divisions to shoot in.

I'd likr to shoot a pistol course, in addition to clays with my mossy 500. All I have is a Keltec P11 and Hi point C9 9mm though. Are either of these suitable?

 

[slow1911s]

You could shoot with either. What I'd concern myself with first is (1) drawing the pistol safely, (2) reloading the pistol while keeping the muzzle in a safe direction AND keeping your finger out of the trigger guard.

You'll need enough magazines to make 30-40 shots, also (not all stages require this, but usually 1-2/match do).

RileyCC also has indoor air pistol matches every month. If you're looking for something to do in in the winter that will truly challenge your marksmanship skills, you could give it a try. I'd do it, but I'm always working!

I really need to get a used Glock, most likely a 17. The course looks like a lot of fun. I noticed some guys focusing more on accurate hits and some more focused on speed. I assume this has something to do with the points system.

Get that Glock 17 and sign up and take this course. This course will save you learning the sport for six or eight months and let you hit the ground running at matches, which will increase you fun in this sport. The class will most likely be 6-8 folks in your same boat.


What: Competition 101
Where: Atlanta Conservation Club
When: Saturday March 27, 2010 9am - 4 pm
Cost: $125 - $110 for ACC members (Includes hotdog lunch)

This course is an introduction to the rules, equipment, scoring, for competing in USPSA and steel challenge matches. There will be a classroom session followed by a range session. In addition to the rules and priniciples of the sport basic gunhandling and safety will covered. For anyone wanting to get into USPSA competition this is the place to start. Find out the rules and many other things you need to know before showing up to that first match and learning by trial and error. You will be glad you did.

The following day is an Instructional League match to would be a great way to get started practicing the things learned in the class.

If I can find a gun by then I would love to. I will be devoting my tax returns to most likely a glock 17 or 19. I have lots and lots of mags for my Keltec, but not really wanting to shoot that as a comp gun.
