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 in October 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.

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.
