Hi.  Could anyone tell me what competitive shooting organizations we have in TN, and give me an idea of where they meet.  One of my wife's co-workers moved from up North, and is looking to get back into it down here, and I'd like to find something nearby just to go watch.  All I know is that he shot w/ a stock AR, and very little modification was allowed.  I'm located just outside of Clarksville, and the closer the better.
Thanks,
James
EDIT: Thanks for the information everyone, and thanks for the invite PRICE.  Maybe I'll get out to a few this year.

Sounds like CMP/Service Rifle competition. Been a while since I looked into it, but I recall one of the Nashville area clubs, affiliated with the CMP, has a (I think) 300 yard range that they have access to on Corps of Engineers land. They had a membership cap, and weren't taking applications at the time. There are others, though.

The CMP has a listing of local clubs on their website. www.odcmp.com

ETA: If you're looking for other types of competitions, there are clubs that have affiliations with other shooting sports.

IDPA and USPSA (both pistol competitions)

3 gun

Anything I missed?

ETA2: There's also at least one club for Cowboy Action shooting. I think their range is somewhere east of Murfreesboro.

There are several matches through out a given monthly quarter.  (sometimes in the same month but not always)  A good place to look for match listings be it Service Rifle, Across the Course, Palma, F-Class and High Power matches is http://forums.delphiforums.com/tnhighpower/ .  They list matches a few months in advance and requirements.  Most of the people are like minded as Arfcom too.

But as for general club locations:  Gallatin, Cookville, Oak Ridge, Chattanooga, Columbia, Tullahoma, and Memphis all have ranges that offer at least a 100 yard reduced course.  Several of them have 1k matches or 600 yd matches too.

I live at FT Campbell, and have gone to some of the 3 gun matches at Henry County gun club near Paris, TN. I plan to hit some matches at the club in Cleveland, TN and Bowling Green, KY too if you are looking for someone to go with.
