    No worries. I've had good luck with Gunsite and especially the 123 Carbine Course. Others on here apparently think otherwise which I really don't care. I've taken cheaper classes here in Indiana and was appalled by some of the instructors lack of knowledge. To each his own though I guess. My money my choice.

    Who were the local people you trained with?

    My son just moved up here to Indiana at Thanksgiving....

    He wants to begin competing...daring me to drag my butt out of shooting retirement and shoot as a team.

    So....2014, GONZO!!! (x2) will be out in force. :)

    My goal is to make it to the range to practice at least once a month. Right now about the only time I shoot is at the local USPSA match or if I make it too a class.

    Better dry practice at home. I really neglect this.

    @Coach...

    I am located just east of Delphi...my son is in Lafayette now.

    going to try to work 1 match a month of some type somewhere...

    I have two main issues right now...

    1) most USPSA are on Sundays, it seems....I have church and family commitments on Sunday. I never give up those commitments. I love my USPSA (old school IPSC/USPSA shooter from '86 - '94)

    2) I am sidelined by my doctor until spring...in 2013 I was diagnosed with very aggressive prostate cancer which has already spread to bone cancer (currently I have bone cancer in my left femur, left hip, 5 vertebra and left collarbone). Doctor pulled me off of my horses, martial arts and anything too physically strenuous because he was worried that I could break my left femur due to the weakening by the cancer. I should be ready to go come APril...stand up non-moving type of matches would be fine until then (steel challenge type of matches)

    NOTE: I am now in REMISSION !!!! (2 months !)

    anyway....son and I want to compete together and have a blast this year! This will be the first time we have ever competed in shooting sports together...I CANT WAIT !!!

    We have one Saturday in April. The club at Wildcat shoots on Saturdays. I do instructional leagues at Riley and these are on Saturday's. www.BrightFirearmsTraining.com has the schedule for the league shoots. They are real similar to matches.

    Be careful. Steel Challenge sounds like a perfect fit for now.

    USPSA, if you are feeling up to it, there is a match at Wildcat Valley on the first Saturday of the month. Looks like they may have several things up your Alley. Try out the NRA shoots when they have them 2-3 times a year. Wildcat Valley Rifle & Pistol Club

    I am hoping to shoot more Trap this year and find some places fairly close to northeastern Indiana to shoot in some rifle matches.

    Coach you are on my calendar for the 3rd Sunday of March. 3G and USPSA are my main events to concentrate on, but who doesn't love an all out shotgun match. See ya in March, and thanks for the heads up. I've been to Wildcat, Warsaw, NPCCC, Atlanta,
    Hillside, this year I will add WVPPS to the list. GOOD TIMES!!!!
