I have to agree with @RegionRat a little on that part . Especially now knowing the area you're located in . I grew up back there , and it's one of the reasons I moved to Arizona 41 years ago . And I'll leave that comment right there . Those who understand need no explanation . Those that don't , none will suffice . Not every range or club is like the group of people , and world class shooters we are blessed with at Ben Avery . Where there are NO ancient Chinese secrets , or information that is only for the select few , of the "In-crowd" . I've dealt with that attitude in Pro- Drag Racing , and competition Skydiving . And it S-U-C-K-S ! But be persistent . Keep going back . When someone realizes your serious , they may open up .You know i tried this exact approach . unfortunately i found them to be of zero interest in having or helping begining members get into competition
Everyone wants 1/4 minute groups.Trigger is a 1# timney
I would be happy with 1/4 moa groups

As Bugs Bunny would say... This means War !What part of the area where you from ?
Said club basically told me to go join somewhere else and come back when i was ready to compete .. So now i drive an hour to shoot when i live 2 miles away from this one
That is VERY disappointing to hear. In my experience, such a response would generally be the exception, not the rule. In any event, you have received lots of good feedback here so far, so hopefully as you progress toward your goal, you'll find as much information as you need/want here.What part of the area where you from ?

I have to say i have had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with 4 or 5 members from hear in face to face transactions from the classifieds and every single person was an absolute pleasure to meet. .. Thats the reason i don't want to name what rifle range this was because i have no doubt they probably have a ton of great members . heck for all i know the club officer i met maybe a great guy and i caught him having a bad day ..That is VERY disappointing to hear.

I would remind to begin that 'accuracy' and 'precision' are different animals.all my shooting has been recreational but with an emphasis on accuracy.
I only reload using quality components and im quite diligent with my working up loads and weighing charges but that is basically the end of my precision ...

You seem to be mixing them as synonymous.
My suggestion: plan & pursue one of them,, optimizing for one of them.
So sign up for the next match and show up and compete! It does not matter whether you do well or not. Show them you are serious about competing and you will find some people who are more than happy to give yo advice.What part of the area where you from ?

The few break in rounds were last year but a death in the family caused me to put shooting on the back burner ... I put about 20 rounds through it with 41.5 g of h4350 i did not yet have a rest or rear bag but shooting off a picnick table with only a folded towel it shot 1/2moa at 400 yards
