I am encouraged when reading some of the match reports online where we are gaining some new shooters at our IHMSA matches. These shooters may be shooting some of our "side" matches but that may grow into shooting our sanctioned matches. I think it would be nice is someone with some digital skills could create a map of the U.S. and place stars appropriately within each state where matches are held. New shooters, heck old shooters, could see at a glance where IHMSA matches are offered. Additional icing on the cake would be to have some sort of number or letter at each star and then a list at the bottom of the map of the name of the club. If a person could really get carried away, the nomenclature at the bottom of the map could be a hot link to each MD or possibly a web page if hosted by the club.

I know we have lost many ranges over the years and I have lost track of ranges outside my home state of OH. It would be nice to be able to see on a map where ranges are located if I wanted to plan a vacation and possibly shoot while on vacation.

Anyone out there up to the challenge? This could be a link on the IHMSA home page so everyone could see ranges at a quick glance.

Just food for thought.

For some time now, I have been locating ranges across the country and marking them on Google Earth. I have these saved to my computer. The advantage of doing it this way is that not only do I have an address, I can also get an idea of what a range looks like if I plan to pay the range a visit.
