I would like to suggest the Volusia county Gun and hunt Club

Great for a winter shoot, you might have to travel, but who doesn't want to go to Florida in the winter.

Many big events are held there.

It also happens to be my hometown.
I have a spare house there that could sleep 6, if that helps on expenses.

How bout this one. No pesky trees or berms.

Who said winter?  You said winter, didn't you?

I like the concept, and would be willing to help, but there are some major issues to be overcome. One is finding a place. Needs to have an adequate firing line and a club that is willing to let us have the range for three days. I noticed that in the ISSA Regionals, there are very few east of the Mississippi. It would be interesting to plot on a map where most of the ASSRA and ISSA members live.
When I tried to organize a Schuetzen match in Wisconsin, half the people said "I'm not coming if you do xyz" and the other half said" I am not coming unless you do xzy". I decided against working my butt off so that everyone can complain that they didn't get everything they wanted.
What this sport desperately needs is some entry level equipment and a movie like Jeremiah Johnson or Quigley Down Under, which really gave muzzle loading and BPCR shooting a tremendous shot in the arm. Not likely that anyone in Hollywood is interested in helping us out, so we will need to find a way to aggressively promote the sport. Maybe a National Schuetzenfest is one way to do it, but we will need some serious publicity. Perhaps the producers of Shooting USA, American Rifleman TV, or similar programs would help us out, but even these those programs are not available to most shooters. 
In my opinion, due to the age of the average Schuetzen shooter, we need to generate some interest in this sport and get some new blood before we tackle the problem of a national match. 
Say what you want about the AR-15, but it has gotten a lot of people interested in shooting. At one of our local clubs, with less than 150 members, 30 showed up for the opening night of "action rifle " shooting. I doubt we get more than 30 at the average ISSA regional.

Another problem with 22rf is that the competitive ammo cost much more than CF ammo and has always been more expensive but, even more today.

It's been my experiance that people get a CF first and then moved into rf.

I think that the first thing that will have to happen, is for ISSA and ASSRA to engage in meaningful talks for the good of the sport.

I'm hoping that this thread will show ASSRA & ISSA that there is enough interest to start talking to each other for the overall good of our sport.

I started Jefferson State Schuetzen Society in 1986 and anyone that was interested in any kind of shooting, knew of the Coors Matches. It was a great recruiting tool, their eyes would liight up when you talked about it.

Today, no one remembers Coors and has never heard of ISSA or ASSRA and if you try to tell them the history of single shots, in most cases, their eyes glaze over and your talking to yourself

ASSRA benefited from those National matches and their membership grew substantially, more than any time before or since. That's how important that I think a National match is to our well being.

A lot of people have trapdoors, Sharps and rolling block rifles, which qualify for Schuetzen competition. I would like to see a "big bore" category, like traditional rifle,  allowing smokeless or black powder, to try to get more shooters involved. 
As far as rimfire is concerned, I am not so sure the cost of target ammo is an impediment, many guns shoot quite well with something less than top priced ammo. Just my opinion, fwiw. Joe S

Good point Randy.  Not sure why there are so many rifles and shooters that never come to a match? I only ever had the one new shooter come to try out the match in several years of advertising it that way.  Did have a few single shot guys question the announcement on the flyer.

This sounds like you need to get Brett Boyd and the Single Shot Exchange on board.  Like a redo of the Grand American Schuetzenfest of the late 90's
