Entry level competition near Grand Rapids, MI?

SoupieXX75 · August 22, 2009, 03:58 AM

I'm curious about competitive shooting. I don't know where to even begin. I would be interested in whatever is available, really. I've got a 1911, an M1 Garand, and .22 rifle (not sure what kind of competing these would get me into).

Any help or suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Kalamazoo Rod and Gun Club and Southern Michigan Gun Club do most anything you can think of, from .22 to pistol to high power rifle.

Action pistol at KRGC is a great place to start. A lot like IDPA but just for fun, not insanely competitive.

Here is the web site for the IDPA club that meets at South Kent Sportsman's Club in Dorr. They are hosting the 2009 Michigan state shoot next weekend so it might be a good time to drive over and check it out.
