Hello all, I was wondering if there was anywhere that I could locate a schedule of 10m air pistol matches? I would like to try this out, but I can't find one anywhere near me. I live in Martinsburg, WV, about 45 min. from DC.

How far is Harwood, MD from you?

If close enough to your location, you might try the Twelfth Precinct
Pistol and Archery Club

Maybe you could "network" the match to find other local matches?

The 12th Precinct would be about a 2-hour drive. I know there's activity in Gaithersburg, MD, and I think in Fairfax, VA.

In Fairfax, contact the Fairfax rod & gun club. I believe their matches are for Jr's (could be wrong). Richmond has informal 10m (and occasional sectionals), first Sunday of month (winter only). I'm in Richmond, don't run the matches, we get people from Blacksburg. PM me if you want more details on Richmond. Check FFX website for theirs.

I have a friend in Frederick MD who informally shoots 10M, shoots somewher (not 12th precinct).

Fairfax Rod & Gun Club is actually in Manassas, VA. It's odd; the Arlington-Fairfax chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America is in Centreville, VA -- I believe both oddities are due to both clubs being essentially pushed out of their respective original locations due to the increasing urbanization of the Washington, D.C. Metro area in the past several decades - and both clubs probably found it easier to sell their land (probably at a good profit) and purchase land further away, though they retained their names.

At any rate: Fairfax Rod & Gun Club will be holding air pistol (and free pistol) matches:
