Sorry I can't help on matches and ranges in your area, but welcome to the long range addiction! I've been searching for matches in my area as well. I believe it would be very helpful to see equipment and technique before I take the plunge into competition. Good luck to you, sir.

Re: New guy
Here is a link that contains a list of shooting ranges and matches all over the country. I think it's been posted here at SH as well, I just couldn't find it. Give it a look and maybe you can find something in your area.

Thanks very much for posting this ... it helps a lot. Looks like it is being kept very current as well. Last update was just 4 days ago. Whoever is keeping the list current is looking for F Class confirmation for several ranges found at the bottom of the list. If anyone can confirm matches at these locations, I'm sure they would appreciate confirmation.

There is no where in VA Beach to shoot besides C2 shooting center.
I travel to either Camp Butner (www.northstateshootingclub.com) in NC or to Qantico (www.quanticoshootingclub.com) in VA to shoot F-class.

Hmmmmm...actually there are some places to shoot, depending on what you are looking for and how flexible you are willing to be to get off your butt in order to get out and shoot
! Suggest you stop by the Norfolk County Rifle Range (NCRR) website here... http://www.ncrr.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13&Itemid=149 . They have a dedicated group of good guys that run regular long range matches for about 8-9 months of the year (Spring, Summer, and Fall) down at Academi (formerly known as Blackwater). They primarily run NRA x-course Hi Pwr Rifle matches, but they are having some discussions about starting up formal F-Class matches as well. I just shot a 1000yd match there this past weekend, and they are planning another one of those in September. They had a really strong turn out of shooters, so hopefully that event will continue to grow. Also, they will allow you to shoot any type rifle at the NRA x-course matches, and shoot the full course prone if you want just to encourage folks to get out and enjoy some shooting (can't beat that offer!). Those courses are shot at 200/300/600yds.
Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions about shooting any of the above, or about other shooting activity in the area. I've been involved with shooting in many different types of shooting sports around the Hampton Roads area the past several years, and if I have not shot in them all yet I can probably pass along some knowledge about what is available and where. The best way to get plugged in about what is happening is to attend some matches and start talking to other shooters who are usually happy to share what they know and happy to help a new shooter.
Best of luck

How many matches are shot in a day?
Is it only one day?
What targets are you using?

Please refer to my post above. All the info you seek is provided at the NCRR website listing for these matches. Follow the directions where it says "To view information about the rifle program for 2012, click here".
Contact Bob or Phil and they will be happy to help!
