Gallatin Gun Club Match This Weekend

[HOGNUT]

Who's going? Robert, what is the round count?

[DBTN]

If you are a new shooter come on out. Just think of the conversations you can start Monday at work when you tell your co-workers you went shooting over the weekend with a guy named Hognut.

Robert,

It sounds fun but I will be going to the shoot close to the house. I will come and shoot with you guys out there in Gallatin. I really wanted to shoot last month cause I was working in Gallatin TVA. But we were working that weekend. Hope to shoot with you again Robert..

Then just come on out. New Shooters are always welcome at the GGC. You'll find IDPA to be the most low-key and easy-going group of folks that you could ever hope to shoot with. And we'll keep you safe.

I'll be that dashing, good-looking, high-speed/low-drag, final hope & prayer of a nation, old tac-cool tough guy, retired war-weary vet..., who is still shooting a Beretta and 870 Pump.

Anyone got a holster they could lend me that'll work with an M&P? Just got the gun yesterday and ordered a Blade-Tech set-up today... But I'd like to shoot this if I can...

The only thing I've got that'll work with the new M&P is one of those flimsy Uncle Mike's neoprene IWB's, don't really feel like shooting myself if I try to use it...

If they are so open to "new shooters" why has their website always said "Our membership is closed and we are not accepting any applications at this time"? I'm a Sumner County guy, and probably would have joined a long time ago, but it seems it's easier to get invited to become a member at Augusta National Golf Club.

IDPA matches always welcomes new shooters. You don't have to be a GGC member to shoot a IDPA match. In fact any type of posted match at GGC are open to visiting shooters (trap, service rifle, etc., etc.).

The club itself has a limit on the number of members that are allowed. The land that the range sits on is Federal property controlled by TVA. The TVA limits the total membership of the club since the area is controlled entry. That is why membership is closed.
