First time shooting action pistol

[SapperMapper]

I went out to the Copperas Cove Pistol Club yesterday.

I think I shot decent for a first-timer, my new XD performed well, and most importantly, I had fun!



I just wish my wife had told me that those semi-clear shooting glasses looked like that. I look like I borrowed J-Lo's shades!

Yes Sir, I would definitely like some details. I am coming home for R&R mid march and would like to check out the place. Nice shooting by the way, maybe we can get together and put holes in some paper some time. Good Camera work

Copperas Cove Pistol Club

Here's their yahoo group. They've got three bermed-up 'bays', and a pole-barn garage/clubhouse. Oh, and there's hot coffee, cold sodas, and sausages and hot dogs for lunch. Pretty nice folks.

From Cove, just follow FM 116 south to Boy's Ranch Road - it's the first gate on the left. They graze cattle there, so watch your step as you're walking around the place.

info source for action pistol..

More info on action pistol in Central Texas ( shamelessly stolen form the ARC forum )

"The TXIPSC list is an e-mail list covering the clubs and shooters in the Central Texas area (pretty much San Antonio to Waco, with some info on bigger matches further away). ALSPPC and several other IPSC clubs in the area post match announcements, updates and results there.

It's mostly IPSC, USPSA and Steel-Challenge-type match announcements (and cancellations; last-minute weather-related cancellations are often only posted via e-mail), match results, a little for-sale and things like that. Discussions and off-topic messages are discouraged, but the odd question like "how many slugs should I bring to the XYZ Shotgun Match?" are OK.

http://www.txipsc.net is the main page. There are links to sign up there as well as a map of local IPSC & IDPA clubs and match dates. Membership is free to all."
