East Alabama Shooters

[Cattywompuss]

Anyone here from East Alabama? This part of the state is sparsely populated everywhere in the Auburn-Oxford-Montgomery triangle. Not sure about a full on club, but it would be fun to have a shoot in this area of the state.

The local gun store is small, and attached to a tractor repair shop, but the owner definitely shoots BP. Might see if he knows anyone around and about that might want to have or host a small shoot.

Hi there Cattywompuss,
I am in North AL and have also been asking the same question about any BP clubs in AL. We sure do need a few here in our state. TN has some food ones.

Bumping this. I'm in Blount County. I used to do a lot of historical trekking and rendezvous in Virginia and West Virginia in my teens and early twenties. I'm getting bit by the bug again and would like to get back into it at some point. My kids are getting to an age where I think they may enjoy it in the next couple years as well.

We typically have questions about meals and/or food vendors available during the match. There is a small store at the park which has drinks and snacks but little else. There is no place immediately around the park in which to eat. The cities of Montevallo and Centreville are 6 to 12 miles away respectively and there are eating establishments in both towns.
