*DISCLOSURES: While I make every effort to keep this list accurate and complete and updated, I am not responsible for errors and omissions. Please confirm information with each venue/match director and all dates and times. Matches may be cancelled at the last minute and regularly scheduled matches may not run in winter months.*
*SAFETY: Please assume that ALL ranges and venues are cold ranges. Do not carry loaded firearms onto these ranges or properties unless you have received permission from the range owners/operators/match-directors or you know for certain you are allowed to carry hot onto the range. LEO's may be exempt from this, and it is up to you to know for certain it is allowed. The ONLY range that I know for certain that it’s okay to arrive and depart hot is the NRA range.*
