New guy from Georgia

[duckholiday]

Hello Gentlemen,
I'm your basic red blooded, freedom loving, all American fellow, and after plenty of research I've decided to give the ole' 6.5 Grendel a shot as the primary post-deployment project. I'll be using an 18 inch, intermediate Odin works barrel and BGC, non-adjustable gas block(comes with the barrel). Looking to mostly punch paper as far as I reasonably can. I'll be glad to get all the input I can from all you experts out there. Also interested if anyone here shoots any sort of mid-long range matches in the North Georgia area. I'm not super competitive, just enjoy a bit of sport.

Thanks, I look forward to any and all input.

They hold a variety of matches:

North GA covers a lot of area, if you would be a little more specific in your location I could tell you about more ranges nearest you.

My home range is Cherokee Gun Club and we are currently limited to 200yds:

CMP is open to the public and RBCG & CGC are private clubs but schedule matchs are open to the public and and are great places to meet avid shooters and learn more about what else is near by.

Almost forgot this link to a search page maintained by the National Sport Shooting Foundatuin:

Thanks for all the info! I'm located in Cumming, little bit north of Atlanta. I've been to Cherokee for an IDPA match, nice range, I didn't get to check out their rifle range. Looks like I'll have to check out RBGC and the CMP matches, have you shot any of them? Thanks for all the links.

Welcome duckholiday, has anyone offered to be your "huckleberry" yet? Maybe someone will step up and give it a shot. No puns intended. LOL Yes, gotta love it when guys do the research, know about BC, SD, etc..... and they say there is no "magic bullet" HOGWASH.....
