Shooters!
WOW! there is a TON of shooting as part of the CMP Western Games & High Power Matches at Ben Avery in March! (mar 11 thru mar 20, two weekends)
https://thecmp.org/cmp-matches/western-cmp-highpower-cmp-games-matches/
They have pistol matches now separate shoots for .22, .45 and "service pistol" which includes a lot of 9mm's. They have fun shoots for .22 rifles and for M1 Carbines. Then they have many days of shoots for Garand-Springfield-Vintage-Modern-Military (GSM), this encompasses almost everything that is or ever was or even looks like a military rifle from the smokeless powder era of the 1890's to present (all at 200yd, standing and prone, slow fire and rapid fire), and a day of vintage sniper matches. You can enter multiple times and shoot a different rifle each time! Then they have several days of serious Camp Perry Style High Power Rifle (200, 300 & 600yd, standing, sitting, prone, slow fire and rapid fire). Oh, and M1 Garand Rifle Sales!
The GSM shoots are very beginner-friendly. 200yds is not hard since the target is a 13" black circle on a 6 foot square of cardboard. Its all electronic targets so you don't have to do pit service. The GSM shoots are 35 shots in about an hour so enter several of them for whatever rifles you have. There is even a new shooter clinic if you prefer in-person instruction before diving in to a "match".

shoot good!
