Bill,
Many years ago, they were called 'Sectionals' and were fired at varied locations. The Big Shoot then was Black Canyon (Ben Avery) and then Los Angeles. Ed

I have shot on the Black Canion ranges many times but always high power rifle. One of the easier ranges to get a good feel for wind and conditions. Not at all like Camp Bullis in Texas where the prevaling wind was a constant fish tail . Bot the toughest range to cope with was , In my opinion the range at the old atomic center that was built with the 1000 yard line up on one Mountain and the targets about three mountains down range. The wind could be blowing a different direction between all three mountains. A reallly fun range to compete on. The folks in Tennessee really did a fine job construction wise. That range and the Black Canion were [I believe}the first ranges to install the cantilever target frames Good Shooting Bill Horton

I'm especially looking for 50M shooting in WA, OR and Idaho? It looks like international pistol shooting is waning, except for colleges and universities.
Thanks,
