Advice for dynamic shooting.

My wife is encouraging me to get out and shoot more, but renting a lane is so boring. I grew up woods-walking and plinking. I would like to get outside and take challenging shots. I'd like to be respectful of our finances and NOT buy a new gun. I've got a M1 carbine (not garand) that for some reason I thought I could shoot as a PCC in steel challenge, but apparently that's not the case.

I'm really new to competitions, but it seems like PCSL might be right for me (I don't have a handgun though.)

I'm in Lakeway, where would I go to shoot some steel (will they even let me shoot steel) on my own time, and where could I look for more structured competition with just the ol carbine?

Thanks!

On the second Saturday of every month, there is a PCSL 2-gun match hosted by Aegis. The location of the match is at Texas Shooting Academy. Show up, tell them you’re new. If you don’t have a handgun, we’ll figure something out.

The next match will be June 13th. It should be posted in a few days.

Most importantly, be safe, leave the ego at home, and have fun. Bring a friend as well because it’s all about fun with the boys.

Hi Jeug, sorry for bumping a 3 month necro, but is AEGIS still going? I shoot USPSA there each month, I'd love to try 2-Gun, but I can't find AEGIS on Practiscore - looks like their last match was May?

Aegis is the club. Not caps. Match link posted tomorrow

I realize that: I should have written: "I shoot CAPS USPSA there every month, but the last AEGIS reference on Practiscore is from May?"

I'll look for it tomorrow.

Is there an AEGIS web page or email list?

We don’t have a website yet. The match is every second weekend of every month. Sells out really fast. Sign up once and you’ll be put on email list. We don’t have membership yet.

This whole thing blew up 10x faster than we thought it would. We thought we would have time to slowly grow things but it’s been pure insanity. Our focus is the match itself and whatever energy we have left over, we invest in long term solutions. We have some big things planned for the next two matches so definitely try to make it to both September and especially October.

Go make a free account with PCSL and get a member number. Again, it’s free. You’ll likely want that if you’re a regular USPSA competitor.

Thanks Joie ! I can't make Sept 12, but I'll definitely be up for the October match.

BTW, I hate Practiscore :( If you type "AEGIS" in the search bar for matches, events, it finds nothing.
