Any one know of any good sites for introduction to competition shooting, I'm thinking about getting into it, But need more info, on what kinds of matches etc.

Hi Bullet, what kind of shooting are you interested in?
Your local gun shop should be able to direct you to what is available in your area and a quick "Google Search" (a feature at the bottom of our page) brought up...

Thanks....I am not sure yet.I wanted to find out which would have the most matches I could attend, and high purse to go with it..I still need to get another rifle for it, And am going to check them all out before I buy, I am just getting back into guns, have reloading equipment and a half dozen rifles but this competitive stuff looks appealing now.

Where do you guys get those neat home town graphics with time and temperature.

There is a group right here on The Firearms Forum. trying to put together a postal or e-mail match with pictures of the targets and rifles used posted on the forum.

Look under::
"Postal, Email and/or Picture Shooting Matches"
on this forum.

And on the ".22 RIMFIFRE FORUM"
Look under:
"From the looks of those scores . . ."

If you have any questions or suggestions: POST.

Hmmmm, can't believe nobody has answered this yet. The weather banner properties is:

If I remember correctly, you have to go into wunderground.com and register, then pick your town to display. If you go wander around in the test forum a little, you will find where a bunch of us figured out how to do it.

Enjoy the forum and post often. Do any Black Powder?

Hey, Joe! Sorry I didn't see your question about the time/temp banner earlier.

For Sault Ste Marie, use the following code, taking out the two asterisks:

It will look like this:

For Mission, use the following, again taking out the two asterisks:

It will look like this:

I'm not a competition shooter myself, but I look forward to watching you guys shoot it out!

Thanks:

Home town and "Other Home" temps. at the same time. That is neat.

Got to come here often to see what I am missing in Mission.

It's been too cold up here since we got home. But it gets too hot in Mission this time of year.
