I'm near the Portland Metro area. I don't know of anyone getting together to shoot Airguns. I'm interested in any leads or ideas.
Once the weather cooperates, I think it would be fun to have a Pyramyd Gunslynger style shoot, I purchased the "Backyard Slynger Package", so I have enough Airgun Silhouette Targets for for 1 stage (two people shooting against each other). See http://www.pyramydaircup.com/competitions/gunslynger/ (http://www.pyramydaircup.com/competitions/gunslynger/) for rules.
I also have some 2" and 3" round plate targets that move when hit.

Welcome..
Have you had a chance to check out the member's map? I've found that most members are more than happy to get together for some shooting and comparing toys. Here's a link to the map. Don't forget to poke your pin in it.

Ashland and Grants Pass have active AG clubs

Hi Scott, Thank you. I may try to go down that way in the summer, Given it's a nearly a 5 hour drive each way, I would need to stay overnight (I'm not as spry as I was 30 years ago...). I'll take a look and see if any weekend events are planned.
Hi Bill, Thank you. That's a good idea, I have dropped a pin. I copied the names in the general area and I'll see if any are active on GTA.

I did a member search using location of "Oregon", 5 pages of results!

"If you build it, they will come."

Hi Bill, I like your positive attitude.
Looks like roughly 30 that have been active in 2018 and 30 active in 2017 in Oregon.
Of the active in 2018, 8 are within 1 hour, 3 more within 2 hours (many folks don't list more than the state)
Haven't sorted through the active in 2017 (,y eyes are tired)
That was a pain, had to look at all the profiles one at a time. With we had a better search tool (just a whine).
'Nuff for today.

I'm in Eugene. It would be fun to get together with people, but the only place that I know is airgun friendly is in southern Oregon. As it is I usually drive up a logging road and shoot at one of the gravel piles. If you find somewhere up there let me know.

Will Do Ed.
Thank You

Hi Frank,
Thank you for responding to this thread. I don't believe I'm a creep (ugh).
I'm just a big and tall woman that enjoys airguns and find that it is more enjoyable to shoot with someone rather than just by myself. I do have a 50ft setup at home and this summer I would like to setup a Field course and try that out (I have a small number of the drop targets already).
I get my second vaccine shot on Tax Day so I should be good to go in first half of May. I contact you then.

I look forward to it Cindi. Most times when I have a shooter by, they're new and I spend more time teaching than playing along. :)
I think I'm on the member's map linked above. I'm near corn pass/baseline, where Brown school is.
