I'd search the old posts, but well, it's not up yet. Anyways, I'm wondering if anybody in Southern Oregon is participating in these matches. I'm a fairly new shooter, and looking for a shooting buddy to practice with for some of these matches.

Oregon Matches

How far are you from Springfield ? They hold USBR matches at Marcola, just East of Springfield, every month.

A little ways south (Medford), about 2.5 - 3 hours depending on how you drive. Springfield is an easy drive. Hmmm, do you know what does it take to get involved with those matches? I have no idea where to get started with this stuff and there seem to be all sorts of match styles, regulations and organizations. How do I get started?

You can start by ordering some targets and competing in the online matches. Just shoot them at your local range and e-mail the scores to Joe Haller. All the details are in the "sticky" threads at the top of this forum.

Yep. email matches are next on my list.

One question I have is about firearms used. Are the scores posted someplace with a blurb about the rifle used? I ask because I will be using my stock 10/22 (except for a Volq hammer) for the time being while I try to decide what to shoot - fully modified 10/22 or to go with a CZ. Guess it comes sown to USBR regs and if I want to shoot Sporter or Custom (maybe even Plinker right now). It would be nice to be able to gauge my scores aginst others by factoring in equipment used in addition to ability.

Thanks,
Kevin

When Joe posts the scores here, we include a basic description of the rig and equipment with the scores..
