[#5]
I'm not a member of Harwinton and do not have anything to do with the operation of their matches- so keep that in mind. This is a year long schedule of their matches which I received yesterday.
HRG 2017 ACTION SHOOTING SCHEDULE January and February NONE March 12th - Acton Pistol 26th - Shotgun Plate April 9th - Action Shotgun/Pistol May 7th - Action 3-G June 11th - Action Pistol 25th - Aiming For Zero July 9th - Action Pistol 23rd - BUG (Back Up Gun) August 13th - Action Rifle September 17th - Thunder Run October, November and December NONE |
|
[#6]
I have the same schedule but was hesitant to post. MOST of their matches are open but a couple of them like Aiming for Zero and Thunder run require early registration and at least 2 previous matches at their club. As each event gets closer, just check back for details on this thread if you're not on their mailing list.

Shooters,
The January Rifle Match is scheduled for this Saturday, January 28th. The weekend weather looks clear and a little cold. If the forecast deteriorates we may cancel, so keep an eye on your email. This months match will be a 2 gun match/Rifle and Pistol. We do not have a round count yet. I would recommend bringing 150 for each firearm. Better to have it and not need it. Do not bring steel core ammo. It is not safe to use on steel targets. Step up at 8. First rounds down range at 9. $10 for non-members. Thanks Metacon Rifle |

Hamden Fish & Game
3-Gun shoot(s) May 6th and September 30th Details will be available when the shoots get closer. |

This weather has me itching to get to a match!
Where are all the damn "action" matches? Seems like a couple years ago there were a handful of clubs that held IDPA or USPSA matches at least bi-weekly. |
|
[#11]
There's at least one match every weekend if your willing to drive anywhere in CT. Most schedules haven't come out yet OR their only done a month or 2 in advance. Wait until mud season is over and you'll see a lot of postings.
Where are you coming from? |

Wait until mud season is over and you'll see a lot of postings. Where are you coming from? View Quote Guilford. Seems like everything is 60-90min away. That's fine I guess. I'm sure we'd all love something 10-15min from us. I stumbled across some RI and MA clubs that seem to be hosting matches regularly. |

[#13]
Most CT stuff is NE or NW of state. I've shot matches at the Guilford gun club before, they do a great job. FWIW I think most people drive 45-60 min for matches regularly, I know I do.

View Quote Michael, who puts on the shoots at Guilford Sportsman's Association said he'll have his calendar out in March. They just built a new pistol pit there. I'm hoping they add some more shoots. Michael does a good job with them. |

Not CT, but if you guys are up for a drive, happen to be in the area, whatever, there's a club out east on Long Island that puts on a great match: LIPSA, Long Island Practical Shooters Association. I've been shooting in their shotgun steel plate matches for a few years and last year did my first Band of Brothers match with a friend's M1 carbine. The club is in Westhampton Beach and on Sunday mornings, there's not enough time to get there from the Port Jeff ferry dock, fyi. But, hey, if you can make it, you'll have fun. I'm not affiliated with them at all, just giving a heads up. And here's the season's calendar:
https://www.lipsa.us/event/ |

USPSA Area 7 championship is already up on Practiscore.
USPSA Area 7 Championship Sept 8-10th Harvard Sportsman's Club is the host. |

Shooters,
There is still snow on the range but that will stop us this month. We will be running a modified match. This month will will work a few drills and play a few shooting games. Think PIG or HORSE. Call your shot, position, and par time. This will be a pistol/rifle event. We don't have a round count. Just bring a lot of ammo. No steel core ammo please. Saturday, set up at 8, first rounds down range at 9. Thanks, Metacon Rifle |

[#21]
Guilford Sportsmans Association posted up their shooting events schedule.
GSA shoots 3-Gun July 16 and Sept 17 Man on Man Action Pistol May 21 and Aug 20. Man on Man plate shoots on Mondays and Action Pistol practice on Thursdays. |

That stinks . I've shot 3 Gun there before and Mike does a great job, but it's an hour drive. If I need to spend an entire Sat there just to be able to shoot a couple of matches this year it's not worth it.

Please contact me if you are a police officer for further information. This is a 2-gun match. You will need a handgun. You do not need a holster. This is basically a combination of our May and July matches. All the targets will be painted black or white. You will start off with a paint cap in your hand and run your subgun down one way, make it safe then pick up your hand gun and shoot the opposite color on the way back to the start point. As of this writing, I am having trouble uploading the Course of Fire to our website. I attached it as a pdf. Again this match is our May match painted black and White with some of the targets moved around. It will have 6 shooting positions if I can fit all of them on the range. Otherwise it will be down to 5. Note: This CoF may change. Make sure to bring more ammo than you think you might need. This is an all steel match!

I will only be sending an email out to those of you who registered to shoot by Saturday night and only to cancel the match. If you don't receive an email, it means the match is on. You can also check the front page on the Metacon website. I will also post something there on the right hand side if I have to cancel.
