I am an experienced shooter who, aside from a few years in SASS events, has never participated in competitive shooting events or associations. As I enjoy target shooting immensely, I would like to begin, but really don't know what is available and what I would be most suited to/for.
I currently own a S&W 1911 .45 acp, Browning Hi-Power 9mm, S&W 617 6" .22revolver and a S&W model 10 .38 spl. My long guns are an A/R m4 carbine and a Savage Mk11 .22 bb bolt (I have many other firearms, but I can't imagine they're suitable ie; AKs, SKS, snubbies).
Do I have enough/correct guns to participate in one of the shooting orgs? I am looking to improve my skills and enjoy the company of other shooters. I was thinking about a target .22 pistol, perhaps a S&W 41 or a Marvel Unit 1 conversion for my 1911. For the .22 pistol, I would like to use an Ultra Dot in competition as my eyes aren't very good with open sights.
I appreciate those of you with experience sharing your thoughts/experiences.
