  Hello Mike Go to the NRA web site and look for a gun club near you and also what type of matches are you looking for Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun ? Also go to the SSAS web site and the CMP web site. Cheers Karl.

  mike2555,
  
  I would be wary of buying a Vulcan. It's another name for Hesse who has had some problems in the past when he was Hesse. Stay in the Rock River/DPMS/Oly/bushmaster/Colt category and you won't go wrong. For long range that 7mm you have will do a very good job if you learn to reload it right.

  Are you close to another state?
  You might look around that site.

  For assorted competitions in various disciplines contact North East KY Fish and Game Association. They have a great facility and are a great bunch of folks. I shoot BPCR there, and enjoy their range very much. Their silhouette course is well made and challenging.
