I'm interested!

(checks calendar; checks map)

Shoot, it's 2010, not 1998! I'm in Northern California, not Central Virginia!

Pete, glad to see you're running Rapid Fire matches with the acoustic timers. You probably know I'm a big fan of that method; the folks at Chabot Gun Club near me started running them like that last year.

I was going to buy another shot timer to help support that cause and then realized that there's a free Shot Timer App for the iPhone! I downloaded it but haven't actually tried it yet to see if it works but free is better than $150 (iPhone not included, offer may not be valid in your locality).

We have been working on refurbishing a turning target rapid fire bay at Sunnyvale Rod & Gun Club in California and are excited to get RF (re)started out here on the Left Coast.

Good luck!

Er, just realized my enthusiasm came across kinda spammy. I have no affiliation with the SureFire ShotTimer app.

I am, however, pro-Rapid Fire :)

I would like to give these a try this year. Not sure I can make more than a couple of matches. Busy family.

Thanks.....Monty

I didn't see 10m AP on that list.....

AZ's number 1 air rifle shooter just changed jobs and is now in Richmond, do you all have an olympic style 10m pistol/rifle program too?

Unfortunately, we only have outdoor facilities at our club. There are AP matches within two hours of Richmond in Maryland and Newport News, VA. There are also some AR programs, but I am involved in pistol and do not follow those events. I do have contacts that would know.
