I keep an eye on your posting with great interest. It has been over a week now and no one responded to you. Normally a posting gets a response in about 1 day. Your question is not difficult. Matter of fact, here is my answer: Try the Coyote Point Rifle and Pistol Club; their website link is http://www.coyotepointrpc.org/

Next time, do not introduce yourself as a person from India, because there is a lot of “Rednecks” in this forum, and in shooting in general. Try stating that you are from Europe, you will sure to get help and response, or don’t say where you are from.

Phoenix ke 3 shooting clubs main kui "redneck" nehi he, hamko hindustani log bahut pasand hain!!!!

come on over to Arizona and shoot with us!!!!! when will u be in the US? in addition to our monthly matches at several clubs, and the september state championships, there are a coupla of huge matches in AZ in march. most of what we shoot is NRA style prone, but that's OK, we do a little ISSF too. We also have avery active ISSF pistol group. There is also a very very active smallbore prone club in Los Angeles, they shoot both NRA and ISSF style

so, if you're willing to drive a bit, you've got a lot of opportunities!

if you plan to bring your own rifle, you need to get your firearm import paperwork in a few months early and you might need a match invitation letter from a club.

What a load of bovine excrement.

All the response to my query was surely welcoming, leaving aside the controversies and arguments! the bottomline is every body in reply tomy post was very helpful and i thank all for it.Look,i know, no guys will have same feelings about helping me out, but theres still people left to extend their helping hands to an athlete irrespective of his ethnicity and tinge.
Thanks Joe66 to let me know some unpleasant truths!!
Getting to the lighter side of it................. Bill, i really didnt pick up the hindi (as i didnt expect it) line at the beginning ! It was great! how do you know all these? .
For my visit to US, hmmmm.... it will be next year. may be in the mid months( to be fixed according to my schedule here). Ive plans to carry my own weapon( Anschutz 1913/2213) and surely inform you people when ill move officially.thanks alot for the info. you all provided,do inform me if you have some more....... Thanks Again..

Take Gill Lane up on his offer, he will be close to where you will be staying. If Gill has trouble finding someplace for you to shoot contact me at tims@britzinc.com or call me at 559 352-7397. There are several clubs in the state and we are always looking for some that might improve our shooting.

[joydeepk]

Thank you Tim for your valuable suggessions. ill surely get in contact with you when needed.
warm regards.

[Joe66]

Some people in this posting offer you to come shoot with their club or their group, but be careful because not everyone in that club will welcomes you. Yes, it all looks good from the outside until you get to the inside.

So Joe66, thanks for the illuminating revelation that there is still racism in the world............

Whatever would we do without your brilliant insights into the human mind?

Joydeep, you would be welcome and respected as a fellow shooter any place I have ever been, and that includes some serious redneck joints in Kansas.

If you are ever in western Ohio or eastern Indiana, let me know. Not only will I find some smallbore for you, you can try your hand at US style Highpower Rifle and play with lots of guns that you probably don't get to see in India.
