Any IDPA clubs hosting BUG and/or Night shoots?

[Jamie Jackson]

Hi Folks;

I'm just getting back into the swing of things (IDPA etc.) and was wondering if any clubs in or near East TN are hosting BUG(Back Up Gun) matches?

I was also curious if any clubs are holding low light or night matches?

I did a search, and I readily admit to being a technotard. but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks in advance.

Well...I reckon not.

I'll just start asking around when I shoot a match and see if anything is in the works.

Music City Tactical Shooters(Dickson, TN), Green River Gun Club(BG, KY), and Henry County Gun Club(Puryear, TN) host a night matches. There is nothing I am aware of in East TN though.

Thank you HOGNUT.

I should have extended my search.

The drive wouldn't be bad. Besides I've been reading discussion of the matches you guys run and they certainly sound good.

I hope to make the drive out to shoot some of them with you in the near future.

Much obliged.

Our night match is on the 17th of November. Have to wait for the time to change and get dark earlier.

And you need to come down and make a day of it. Shoot the regular match in the morning.

We can be a little picky about who gets to run around and shoot in the darkness.

Had one of the most experienced shooters on the range last time AD.

I can certainly respect and appreciate what you're saying. You can never be too safe.

I've R.O.'d night matches back home in MS and found it best to almost ride piggyback with some shooters.

Sometimes immediately behind someone with a firearm is the safest place to be. ...besides, it's easier to watch for any safety concerns from there.

Thank you for the head's up on the date.

There was a night match at TAC2 back in February. It's not a regularly scheduled thing, but it will likely happen again when the days get shorter.

[Jamie Jackson]

Thank you JWin.

That's good news.

I figured there must be a few more around.

Please excuse my ignorance, where is TAC2? Is there a website?

Much obliged.

Four monthly matches in Greeneville, special matches at various times: http://tac2.net/

If you are new to the area and looking for a close club to shoot IDPA at check out ORSA. Oak Ridge Sportsmen Association. They hold a IDPA match the first Sat of every month. there is some kind of pistol match going on there every weekend. I usually always attend the IDPA match, its a good place to shoot

[Jamie Jackson]

Thank you dlmeadows.

I actually did shoot the IDPA match at ORSA in July. Mike and the S.O.'s ran a great match, imaginative and challenging stages, excellent facilities.

I'm looking forward to the ORSA August IDPA match.

Kettlefoot in Bristol has IDPA matches every fourth Saturday, and usually follows the standard match with a BUG match (although they lately been toying with carbine and/or full autos a bit, IIRC).

[Jamie Jackson]

Thank you GKar. Much obliged.

I'll look into it. It definitely sounds intriguing.

There's usually a low light/night shoot at Volunteer Rifle & Pistol Club in Halls, the weekend after DST ends. Keep an eye on the announcements in the newsletter: www.vrpc.info.

[Jamie Jackson]

Thank you JRW.

I bookmarked their website. I'll have to give it a through look over when I get a day off.

Much obliged.
