Hello all, I will soon be moving to the Knoxville area and wanted to get started on TGO officially so I can get up to speed on shooting events/clubs etc. in the area.  I'm moving in from Texas but don't hold that against me, I'm not from TX - it's worse, I'm originally from New Mexico.  My wife is a Volunteer though and we are very excited to finally get to raise the kiddos in the TN.

 

I've been working the oil fields for the last 13 years and finally giving it up after the last year + of complete market downturn.  I'm looking to get into a more stable industry and really want to work more with firearms so hopefully work will be more enjoyable and less like work (lofty dream I know).

 

I shoot a bit of IDPA and am an IDPA SO, I also love to hunt and fish.  I see there are several ranges and clubs in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge area so hopefully I will meet up with some of you soon.  I'm really looking forward to the banter of the forum and to live in a state with 4 seasons again.

 

Steve

Welcome aboard Steve!

You have found a fantastic group of people here at TGO.

I'm a member at Oak Ridge Sportsman's Association. I would be happy to take you out to the club to have a look around and shoot.

Welcome!  Don't worry -- there are some pretty parts of New Mexico.  Two of them are at both sides on the state on I-40.  ;)

That's exactly right haha.  There are a few nice areas in the mountains, and there is no shortage of wide open desolate land to enjoy but....  needs more water

Welcome

 

Oak Ridge Sportsman's Association is very active in USPSA and IDPA

First Saturday of the month for IDPA and third Saturday for USPSA. If that isn't enough, three gun, speed steel, and cowboy action also have their own matches here.

Thanks for the welcome and the info.  This definitely sounds like my kind of place!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and for the insight to the area.  I probably won't be moving until June or July, but I look forward to meeting you at the range once I get there!
