Advice needed for newbie

Post by AJT95 »

My dad shot ihmsa from the late 80s up until his death in '06 I was wanting to get into competing because of him. I inherited 2 of his oldest T/C contenders.

1: how do I go about joining/ finding the closest place to shoot

2 i was wanting to get a new barrel for my dad's TC but don't wanna mess with it as it's a 1 of 1 from the '89 E.T. Gates memorial, my other tc would need significantly more upgrades besides just a barrel.

Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need to look at the match schedule and find out where matches are located. Should be a contact phone # on the schedule. Call the match director and I am sure he will point you in the right direction or give me a call and I will help you out! Allen 601-624-2868

Welcome to IHMSA.
There have been some rule and discipline changes since your dad shot. We can put you in touch with ranges in your region, what state do you live in? Attending a match is often the best way to get updated with what is current. Or give me a call, we'll get you in touch with someone.
