Anyone going to Ft Benning. I'm looking for hotel/motel prices in the area. Cost is a factor- I guess that is for everyone.

I hadn't realised how expensive your competitions are - I assume this is a lot more expensive than 'ordinary' competitions ?

Way more; Preliminary Try Out's (PTO) in Rhode Island and Massachusetts rarely cost more than $25US.

For 2-3 events plus the cost of transportation and housing and you are looking at a significant outlay.

That's what I thought. For comparison our most expensive comp - that I can think of is about 17 pounds (about 25 dollars) - for a single 60-shot AP match.

Check online for hotels in Columbus, GA. Many shooters stay at the Sleep Inn and we usually stay at the La Quinta. I noticed online that all of the Marriott properties are already booked during the competition. You should be able to find something suitable in the area and Ft. Benning is very easy to get to from any part of town. Download maps before you leave and if you are going to drive on base be sure to bring your vehicle registration and proof of insursnce. Happy shooting!
