Hey skip,
My name is Micah and my wife and I run the ofgc 3 gun match in Fort smith. We have actually moved from bella vista to tontitown however if there is anything I can help you with in trying your first match please don't hesitate to ask. Our next match will be the second Sunday in june. Please check out
https://m.facebook.com/ofgc3gun/for our calendar and rules. Please feel free to pm me either on here or Facebook and we'll do what we can to get you into your first match.
In the mean time you may check out lonesome oaks range in centerton, they hold a monthly uspsa match and I believe they recognize pistol caliber carbine so that's another great oppertunity to shoot locally.
