IDPA

I live in Lake Odessa. Which is right smack in the middle between Lansing and Grand Rapids, just off of I-96. Can anyone tell me where the closest place is for me to shoot an IDPA event. I have never shot in any type of competition. Thanks for any advice...Matt

ETA: Or is there some other type of shooting that I don't know about. New to this, I don't want to do cowboy action shooting...

Check here for a start; www.idpa.com (http://www.idpa.com/)
Left side. Click "Club Info" ....
Then click "Club Listings"

While it certainly not an exhaustive list... It should be a start.

Some links to competitive shooting organizations:

International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA)
www.idpa.com

International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC)
www.ipsc.org

Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF)
www.gssfonline.com

There are many associations devoted to rifle shooting, too. Like FCSA, bullseye, etc.
