Hey guys, I'm noticing a lot more people popping up in eastern NC, so I thought I'd just extend this invitation. B&R Range in Havelock, NC has ISPC-type competitions every other Saturday of every month. Usually the first Saturday is a more relaxed setting, where handguns can be substituted for long guns in some cases, and the second Saturday is a more strictly scored event. Either way, they welcome new-comers, and "competition" experience is not required. Experience with your firearm is preferred, of course.
Basically,they set up life-sized targets in stages and take turns running the stage. The targets may be at difference distances, behind obstructions, or amongst "innocent" targets. The stages include movement, reloading, multiple target engagement, and whatever else they decide to come up with lol. Some of the guys that are there are all competition-crazy with tricked out 1911's and 20 mags on their belt. On the other hand, a lot of them, like myself, are just there with standard carry weapons, using the drills as an opportunity to practice real life scenarios.
I can't stress enough that you do NOT have to come to compete. Every weekend there are first time shooters that are simply there to practice with their carry firearms. You'll still be scored for the heck of it, though
. Anyway I think the fee is $10, and you bring your own ammo. If people show interest on here, I'll find out exactly how much ammo you'll need. They do sell ammo on site, and there is a wal-mart very close by.
Oh, and after the competition, the range opens up for normal use. It's all out doors, and they have plenty of pistol and rifle lanes, up to 200 yds. They also have a shotgun "pit" where you can shoot clay, or set up your own object-targets to shoot. I like to bring 2-liters filled with water for something a little more entertaining than paper lol.
