Any IHMSA Matches in Central Texas?

[RevolverBuff]

Recently moved to the Austin area from The Great Pacific Northwet. I was in the habit of attending an IHMSA match at Paul Bunyan Rifle and Pistol range in Puyallup, WA. Wondering if there are any IHMSA matches in Central Texas. Don't mind driving an hour, maybe two at the outside.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

There is a IHMSA match that is held just west of New Braunfels. Website is http://silhouette-texas.us/
I believe they've already held their last match of the year though. Good bunch of folks.

Thank you Cutter
Really appreciate the link will take a look. Don't mind waiting a couple months if need be. Still need to setup my reloading benches after the move. At my current rate that might take a while

No problem, if you need any other info on IHMSA in Texas let me know and I'll hook you up. Welcome to Texas.

MetalCutter, I see you're in the Woodlands. I'm looking to get involved in some shooting competitions closer to our area. I'd never heard of IHMSA before, but it sounds interesting. I'd also love to get involved with some multi-gun competitions. Do you know how I could get hooked up with any of those?

Hfrog,

There are basically four ranges left which host IHMSA matches in Texas. The closest is PSC in Friendswood which is also the only one holding year round matches. Greenwood and New Braunfels have stopped holding their matches for the year. Both will start up again early next year. There is another one in Sweetwater but I don't have any current information on that one. Directions to PSC, Greenwood and New Braunfels below. Let me know if I can help in any other way.

It’s always a good idea to call the match director or state director to confirm a match date, especially if it’s a long drive.

QFT. Last-second cancellations happen too often.

Sounds interesting to me. Newb question, I've got 22,357, 44, and 45. Is this game shot with these calibers?

Although the pistols and calibers can get very specialized the beauty of IHMSA is you can get started with pretty much any type of handgun. There are separate competitions for twenty-two and centerfire broken down into numerous categories (standing, production, revolver, unlimited, etc) and allowing both iron sighted pistols and optics. My advice is to attend a match, introduce yourself and check out what goes on at a match.
