Thanks for the reply! I guess we"ll stay in Owasso. Im bringing my 12 year old daughter so partying will not be on the agenda this weekend. LOL! I'll start checking the hotels in Owasso. I appreciate your input. I had no idea North Tulsa was that scary.

If you are looking for family friendly, Owasso is probably the best choice. It's pretty much your stereotypical big box chain, strip mall suburbia. Pretty quick and easy to get to the range from there, too.

Don't get me wrong, downtown isn't just adult oriented. There are family friendly entertainment and eating options available, too(Ballpark, Guthrie Green, etc.). You should really check out the J.M Davis Arms Museum in Claremore if time allows during your visit:

P.S. 22LR is still scarce around here, sells for inflated prices and many places have limits, so prepare accordingly.

You can find quite a bit of general information about these here:

This one coming up in Tulsa is 12 stages - 390 rounds.

I can't find any links to the stages for the 2013 Tulsa world championship, but here is a link to the stages at the 2013 Oklahoma Ruger Rimfire Challenge held in May:

Here's(what I assume is) a youtube video of that course in action:

Man, that kid can shoot!

Yes that is typical(I'm ROing the last stage). The Worlds 6 pistol and 6 rifle stages that look fun and challenging.

As far as the video, Greyson Lee is a really great kid. He's awesome with rimfire on steel, but you really need to see him run his open gun in USPSA. You will see him 4 other juniors very high in the standings at Worlds. In the ARK Ruger Rimfire(72 shooters) match last week there were 5 Juniors including Grey in the top 10. Allie Barrett(17) won the match, Caleb Patch(14) was 3rd, Greyson Lee(14) was was 5th, John Hughes(12) was 9th, and Brixley Nelson(10) was 10th. These kids get it done and are great representatives of the shooting sports.

The Holiday Inn Express at 76th and 169 is the best place to stay. Very safe area, two miles from the range, and close to everything you would need.

If you need a locals perspective on anything(including the range) message me and I'll do my best to help you out.

Yep, I'm fully expecting to get smoked by all the youngsters, (and oldsters for that matter). Never shot a steel challenge match, but looking forward to it.
