Stan, I think it was just after Tunica that I shot the US Open for the first time at M&M. Had never shot registered targets before but went out of curiosity. I took advantage of the free NSCA membership offered to new shooters and shot the SXS event, finishing 2nd in my class. I also shot a BSS that day. Was a cool experience. There are a lot of SXS events at the big NSCA shoots, as well as at the state championships and some local shoots. Worth looking into.

... the big Southeast NSCA Regional shoot at the Meadows in Georgia this year had a SXS event. It started the day after the Southern so I went there from the Southern after it ended on Sunday. Ran into several people there who had also shot at the Southern.
