I have my orientation class on Saturday to join my club in their competition; it's in Concord. Every video I see has left me humbled. I just hope to make it fully through the class before deciding that there's no way in hell I'm good enough for this.

No one cares how good you are, as long as you’re safe. Seriously. Follow the first 5 rules of USPSA and no one will have a problem with you being on their squad:
1. Be safe.
2. Help tape targets and reset steel after every shooter, unless you’re loading mags.
3. Be safe.
4. Have fun.
5. Be safe.

The guys in Concord are awesome. We all started somewhere. Competition shooting is the medium for you to learn how to get better. Don't be shy and as long as you're safe, everyone will welcome you with open arms.

I see doing competition/matches as similar to going to the gym. Yeah, it can be cool/inspiring to see people lifting super hard or in this case, shooting super fast and efficiently, but at the end of the day, I see it as I'm competing against myself

Took the Concord class on Saturday and I've signed up for the next steel challenge match that's in a month. The RO's were great and so was everyone in the class.

I have only iron sites and a 3.9" barrel. It was a challenge hitting at 25 yards. I plan on being pretty bad. But if I enjoy it I'll have a great excuse to buy a new gun. But, then I'll no longer have an excuse to be bad.

Keep up the great videos! It's inspiring.

How far in advance do you find out course of fire?

How far in advance do you find out course of fire?

Most locals, the day of when the stages are on the ground. They typically put targets up morning of. If you're signed up for a "major" then there's usually a matchbook with all the stage designs and sometimes even written stage briefing. My suggestion to anyone new wanting to try out the sport is to show up early and walk the stages before the start of the match so you have some idea of stage planning.

I'd also suggest that if you can, to just go to a match as a spectator and watch. You will learn a lot and people are really receptive to questions from new comers trying to dip their toes into the sport.

Come out on saturdays and there are several steel stages to practice on and also a USPSA stage to get some practice in and dip your toes into the water for that game.

You will learn a lot just coming to practice, seeing how others run the stage and ask LOTS of questions. Everyone will be more than happy to engage and answer.

We were all noobs at one time

Anyone shoot the heart shaped stage at RRGC today?

Anyone shoot the heart shaped stage at RRGC today?

I'll try tomorrow, maybe.. I'm MD for the match tomorrow

I think it was Bay 7 , like a game of concentration with 1 shot on painted targets and 2 on unpainted targets, shaped like a heart but targets not symmetrical. Sorry I missed you.

Life got in the way, so I went nearly two years without shooting a match. This was my first one back this year - the low-light match at Prado about a month ago. Just sharing...
