Big Island Pistol Shooters
« on: September 30, 2011, 10:29:36 PM »
I just returned from surveying the National Guard ranges in Hilo. How many Big Island shooters would participate in NRA and CMP sanctioned National Match pistol competitions? I know of 2 shooters from Hilo that travel to Oahu to shoot Service Rifle. I know pistol shooters to be a different animal altogether.

On Oahu?  Probably zero; we used to have bullseye pistol matches in Glenwood (at the Big Island Gun Club), but stopped 'cause of lack of interest.  We still have targets. and a free weekend, if we can find enough competitors.

Is there anyone on the Big Island that is delusional enough to even attempt entering the National Matches at Camp Perry?

I know three people who went to Camp Perry this year, all rifle shooters.  Bullseye pistol is HARD; folks would rather shoot IPSC.  Which we did today; 9 competitors, and I won a stage (first time ever ;D).
