As I mentioned previously, I’ve been wanting to get into action and competition shooting. The only bummer about it is there’s no means for this close to Austin. Anything is at least a good 1-2 hour drive outside of town. That’s not too bad tho, as it’ll make for a nice motorcycle ride.

However, as of a few hours ago this is going to change.

The Austin Rifle Club just voted to begin construction on five “action shooting” bays for IPSC, IDPA, SASS, NRA AP, Training courses, organized practice, and other such uses. All this was was the vote, there’s still much work to be done. But with the vote at least it can move forward. This is great news!

I have been wanting to join ARC for some time but haven’t been able to due to scheduling conflicts. You must take a range safety course which is offered only once per month and I just haven’t been able to make any of those monthly meetings. 😦  But this gives me more motivation to work it into my schedule!

Updated: Here’s the official word from ARC. Looks like it’ll be happening soon. I’m going to have to work the enrollment meeting into my schedule.
