Les Jones: Shooting .22 Pistols Next Weekend in Knoxville

Guns > Shooting .22 Pistols Next Weekend in Knoxville

I'm making good on my promise to get involved in local shooting events. There's a .22-only steel target competition Sunday, July 17 at the John Sevier Hunter Education Center in north Knoville. That works for me, since I have a .22 target pistol and holster I can use without running out and buying a new gun for competition. From the Volunteer Rifle and Pistol Club newsletter:

Special .22 LR Only Pistol Match: July 17 at 2pm. All steel targets. Bring your revolver or automatic, 100+ rounds, strong side holster, extra magazines. See website or contact James Wagner for details, 789-3178.

Fees will total around $15 or so. There's a practice session this Sunday at 1:30, but I have a scheduling conflict so I won't be able to make the practice session unless something changes. If you're interested in going to the competition on the 17th and would like someone to go with let me know.

You say that like it's a bad thing!

Heh. Yeah, but I feel like I have a pretty good assortment of guns now, with just a few holes. I need to think a bit about the next guns I buy and get things that fill a specific niche I need filled.

I do see me buying a new centerfire autopistol for competition in the near future.

If you ever venture out to the Pacific Northwest, you'll have to come out and blast away at some pins with us!!
