New from Kansas

Hey, name's Luke. I am from Lawrence, KS. I am new to forums, not to shooting. Here to learn more and be able to communicate with fellow shooters. Not many around here! I have interest in 12 ga. shotties, .300 or larger caliber rifles, and 9mm or .40S&W handguns. Not into competitions (yet at least), just shoot for fun, hunting, and if necessary self defense (hopefully never have to do that one!).
Keep Shootin' Straight!

Welcome to the party! Make sure you get out and try a match in the near future. You will wish you would have done so sooner.

Welcome!

You've got at least 4 competition venues easily within an hour's drive from Lawrence. More if you want to range out a bit further. When you are ready, come visit Millcreek USPSA match on 4/13 (and every 2nd Saturday of the month) in Desoto or the Bullet Hole match every Friday night if you are interested.

Also, Capital City Gun Club (Topeka) hosts an IDPA match on second Sunday and USPSA match on third Sunday of each month as well.

Welcome to the site, another "hayshaker" from Kansas here.

I've got to shoot with some of these guys at OKCGC and USSA, great guys with a ton of knowledge! Plus they seem to be able to throw out just the right amount of humor OR sarcasm when needed...

Others have mentioned some of the ranges local to you, if you want to stretch it out and really test your .30 cal stuff there's a range N of Salina that holds monthly matches out to 1400yds.
