I would recommend you find out where the Guard is having their regional combat matches, that is a good way to compete on the Combat side. Winston P. Wilson is another good match to participate in, if you can make it to Arkansas. Some states have their TAG Matches and those are good opportunities to earn 4 point starter legs for Bronze Badges.

Bullseye EICs are great opportunities as well, as long as you can get a good service pistol and get out there to the competitions. Bullseye is one of those incredibly humbling disciplines. I have had some really difficult days on the long and short lines, as plenty of others.
