I have been debating on getting an ar-15. I shot 4 position smallbore when I was younger (pre 9-11, post 9-11 the base no longer allowed us to use the range).

I would like to get back into the matches, but have been unable to locate a regular match. I have looked on the TSRA site and found that there is one match April, 2011, this match looks like it is held annually.

I would like to find a match held close to monthly for a service rifle. I do not know of any ranges around the San Antonio area that even have the 600 yard line for the prone slow fire string.

Would really like to make sure that there is some type of match that is somewhat local before building a gun that will be suitable for this type of competition.
