IDPA: The season starts up in January with the Winter Pistol Frolic that is held regardless of the weather. February is our annual IDPA safety officers class, March is a classifier and pistol match then the season starts in earnest in April and runs through October. This year we will have our major match on October 16th called the Mountaineer IDPA Classic.

Trap is holding practice sessions Tuesday and Thursday nights and on Sunday afternoons. Cost is $3.50 a round for practice and league. Team trap and ATA match season runs April through November.

NEW FOR 2010!!

MEMBERS OPEN WEEKEND has been moved to the first weekend of the month. Due to scheduling issues for the Trap Discipline the open weekend was moved. Hopefully this change will bring in more shooters for them while keeping with the bylaws charge of an open weekend for the general membership.

A new shooters forum has been created with the objective of having a central place where all the southeast region gun clubs, shops etc. can communicate about matches, questions, competitions (idpa/ipsc/uspsa/3gun), etc.
